SASAMI collaborates with Clairo on 'In Love With A Memory'

SASAMI has released 'In Love With A Memory (Feat. Clairo)', the latest single from her forthcoming, cinematic new album 'Blood On the Silver Screen', set to arrive on the 7th March via Domino. Co-produced with Rostam, the track draws inspiration from traditional Japanese pop ballads, weaving a haunting yet timeless soundscape that showcases SASAMI’s classical sensibilities alongside her bold artistic vision.

A deeply evocative duet, 'In Love With A Memory' places SASAMI and Clairo’s vocals in a delicate yet eerie interplay, embodying the song’s themes of longing and spectral nostalgia. The track arrives with a striking music video, directed by Jay Swuen, adding a visual layer to the song’s dreamlike atmosphere.

SASAMI shares the origins of the song, ”‘In Love With A Memory’ was actually the first song I wrote that ended up on Blood On the Silver Screen. I grew up going to Japanese or Korean ‘noraebang’ private karaoke rooms with my mom, who was secretly the most incredible singer. Most of her go-to numbers were old Japanese and Korean folk songs that kind of made me feel like I was in a horror film or a David Lynch movie. I can picture my mom in a Julee Cruise-type setting—single jazz lounge spotlight, cigarette smoke hanging stale in the air—singing one of those old songs with the most gorgeously haunting vibrato and breathtaking vocal control.”

“That’s the feeling I was tapping into when I started writing ‘In Love With A Memory’, and there is a very timeless but relevant crooning feeling imbued in the song that I think was perfectly reflected by the production Rostam and I orchestrated together. Claire has been a longtime, long-distance friend and dream collaborator for me, so it was such a magnificent gift for her to lend her voice to the narrative. I really imagine this track as a cinematic duet with a ghost.”
