Submerged in pastel colors and sunlight, Banoffee releases her latest video for her riveting new single "Tennis Fan", directed by Quinn Wilson and featuring the meditative vocals of Empress Of. The Melbourne artist paves an idiosyncratic direction of electropop, focused on gliding synths and textured vocals as the focal point of her boundary pushing sound. Joined by Honduran-American songstress, Empress Of, both artists team up for an irresistible slice of lo-fi goodness. The brilliant collaboration channels the strengths of each songstress, with Banoffee nonchalant attitude shaping the lyricism, and Empress Of's dreamy melodies molding the track. "Tennis Fan" comes at the heels of Banoffee's latest voyage in new wave R&B, leading the charge as one of Australia's most invigorating musical exports. Her debut album Look At Us Now Dad is an uplifting story of perseverance, reflecting and processing the artist's story of survival, paying testament to the possibilities of rebirth following abuse and adversity. The upcoming work will be released via Cascine + Dot Dash on February 21st, 2020.
Speaking on the release, Banoffee shares:
"Working with Lorely (Empress Of) and Quinn was such a pleasure and it turned into a daytime slumber party of sorts, with all ideas being welcome and nothing deemed too silly. I hope when people watch this clip they feel the good feelings we were all experiencing at the time. It's a song about rejecting the yuck stuff but it's just as much about celebrating the good stuff. I think this video does a great job of showing how strong friendships can make anything unkind feel unimportant and trivial."
