Hana Vu announces her second studio album, Romanticism
Hana Vu has announced her second studio album, Romanticism, alongside the lead single, “Care".
The follow-up to her 2021 debut album Public Storage, expands on Vu’s contemplative, coming-of-age indie-pop that mourns the impermanence of youth.
“I wrote this song while staring out the window wondering if everyone considered things as much or more or less than I do. Also ruminating on whether or not it mattered. Thoughts and feelings might be an eternally individual experience," Vu explains. The song’s video, directed by Maegan Houang, expands upon the album’s Romantic era-inspired visuals, nodding to Artemisia Gentileschi paintings “Judith Beheading Holofernes” and “Judith, Her Maid and Holofernes Head.”
“Being a romantic is different from being a romanticist,” Vu clarifies. “The nexus of this album is indulging in these sad feelings, indulging in the senses. It's just not commonplace in society that people really can value the beauty of being so sad, of feeling grief and heartbreak.”
