Featuring symbolic objects such as tarot cards, yearbooks, and distorted portraits, the teaser sets high expectations for the music video’s narrative, which promises to be equally as enchanting.
Cutting-Edge Technology Meets Music
Interestingly, this album introduces pioneering video technology, thanks to a collaboration with Google Cloud in Hong Kong.
