Orion Sun - Concrete [Video]

Critically acclaimed singer, songwriter and producer Orion Sun has shared her dreamy new single ‘Concrete’ alongside a stunning music video. With production from Rostam Batmanglij (Vampire Weekend and Haim) the track hears the Brooklyn-based artist explore a journey of self-discovery with a soulful, intimate energy.

"When I think about the song 'Concrete’, there's a lot that comes to mind,” says Sun of the track. “There are so many emotions that come to the surface when I respond to the thought train of all the moments that lead me to this point. The warm hands of my ancestors have guided me through such tough terrain. I am comforted by them and in turn, given the strength to keep going." Her introspective words shine light on her ability to navigate through life with careful examination and pensive reflection, quaintly illustrated in her songwriting and lyricism.

The visuals for the track depict the affinity and strength we can all take from our surroundings, showing Sun nurtured by nature as she toils on a California farm. An unfamiliar image in mainstream media but one that was important for her to provide as she honours her ancestors and her lineage. “Every time I walk out my door or see an airplane in the sky, I am reminded how small we are,” adds Sun. “It's moments like these that remind me that my life is beautiful because it is still happening. I'm still here. All I want to do with my time left on this earth is make a positive mark on the world and continue to make my loved ones and myself proud."

The 24-year-old Philly-via-Jersey artist boasts a self-awareness that is unapologetic and raw with her soft airy presence, providing an innocent lift to her otherwise complex songs. Her latest album, Hold Space For Me, amassed over 36 million global streams and cemented Sun as an artist to watch with her transformative, intimate soul.
