Zauner cites the aftermath of the unexpected success of her 2021 album Jubilee and her memoir Crying In H Mart as a primary thematic inspiration.
'I felt seduced by getting what I always wanted,' Zauner said in a statement. 'I was flying too close to the sun, and I realized if I kept going I was going to die.'
The new studio setting results in Japanese Breakfast coming through with lush, romantic music that's underlined with a touch of - you guessed it - melancholy.
Fittingly, the song 'Orlando in Love' is gorgeously orchestrated with lyrics that take inspiration from an unfinished Renaissance epic.
