Japanese Breakfast has performed her new single ‘Orlando In Love’ live for the first time on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
The track is taken from Japanese Breakfast’s fourth album ‘For Melancholy Brunettes (& sad women)’, set for release on 21st March via Dead Oceans. The performance featured a full string section accompanying Michelle Zauner and her band.
“‘Orlando in Love’ is made up of a hodgepodge of odd references,” Zauner explains. “The title comes from an epic poem by Matteo Maria Boiardo called Orlando Innamorato, which ends abruptly at 68.5 cantos because Italy was invaded by French troops, and that’s as far as he got before he had to flee. I fell in love with the title and envisioned a sort of whimsical, foolish male protagonist who lives by the sea in a Winneabeago RV and is seduced by a siren.”
The album was produced by Blake Mills at Sound City in Los Angeles and marks Japanese Breakfast’s first full-length release since 2021’s ‘Jubilee’.
