ZHU, Yuna – Sky Is Crying
Written by Yuna and Aaron Leibowitz, “Sky Is Crying” is an alluring dance release showcasing ZHU’s iconic dark sound. The seductive release features the vocal talent of Yuna paired perfectly with the mysterious vocals of ZHU radiating with goose-bump-inducing synths. Both deeply poetic and raw, the haunting single captivates throughout its entirety.
Helmed by Birdy Ben and produced by ELMØ for EL MOTION LAB, the visual for “Sky Is Crying” offers a thought-provoking look at the impact the extended lockdown has had on artists, fans and the live music experience. Featuring black-and-white animation of newspaper headlines on the virus, the visual delivers a poignant message of how the pandemic has changed the world.
