88rising founder Sean Myashiro comments,
“We’re excited to bring back the world’s greatest Asian music festival to Los Angeles at a new location just outside the historic Rose Bowl. Both the 88rising and Goldenvoice teams have been hard at work to provide fans an immaculate experience from the lineup to the production to the food. We can’t wait to see everyone there.”
In addition to the announcement, the media company have shared their new single, ‘California’, from their long-awaited Head in the Clouds III collaborative album.
‘California’ features 88rising’s Rich Brian and NIKI as well as newcomer Warren Hue singing a heartfelt ode to the idyllic Golden State.
The single is accompanied by a music video, directed by Jason Ano, featuring the three artists living life in California along with shots of the Asian-American suburbia.
Rich Brian says,
“This song is about three Indonesian kids that managed to chase their dreams. Whether it’s acting, being a scientist or an architect or both, it’s all attainable. In this case NIKI, Warren, and I attained the same thing and that is making a career in California, which comes with its highs and lows.”
Warren Hue also shares,
“The verse I wrote included the reality of being Asian in America and how I see California as a whole. The process of making this song was interesting because it shows the perspective of three Indonesians talking about America and it’s definitely a fun project.”
NIKI adds,
“It was so great to have gotten the opportunity to collaborate with my fellow Indonesians Rich Brian & Warren Hue. Songwriting-wise, it was the most organic coming-together between the three of us. Hope you guys enjoy it!”
Head in the Clouds III is the next installment of the iconic album series featuring 88rising artists and special guests. The album will bring listeners into “the Asian diasporic experience through a universal lens” with songs about conquering self-doubt and being caught between two worlds.
