American Korean musician Japanese Breakfast is back with their fourth studio album, For Melancholy Brunettes (& Sad Women) — a project that marks a new chapter for Michelle Zauner, both sonically and creatively.
Since the release of Jubilee in 2021, Zauner’s career has soared, not just in music, but also as an author and composer. Her best-selling memoir Crying in H Mart is currently being adapted into a film, she scored the video game Sable, and more recently, contributed a song to Marvel’s Agatha All Along.
Music 101 speaks to Michelle Zauner as she prepares to bring Japanese Breakfast to Aotearoa, playing in Tāmaki Makaurau on June 7 as part of the Auckland Winter Series.
