“Head In The Clouds III is the next installment of the iconic album series featuring 88rising artists and special guests from East to West. The project will bring listeners from around the world into the Asian diasporic experience through a universal lens – lovelorn, self-reflective, and homesick songs about triumphing over self-doubt and being caught between two worlds,” a press release announcing the project explains.
The track features acoustic guitar and production from Wallis Lane, Jack LoMastro and Jacob Ray.
2021 marks the very first time the Head in the Clouds Festival, which originally debuted in 2018, will be held over a span of two days, growing from 10,000 attendees in 2018 to 22,500 in 2019. Both years took place at the Los Angeles State Historic Park, with star-studded lineups from the Pan-Asian community.
“We’re excited to bring back the world’s greatest Asian music festival to Los Angeles at a new location just outside the historic Rose Bowl. Both the 88rising and Goldenvoice teams have been hard at work to provide fans an immaculate experience from the lineup to the production to the food. We can’t wait to see everyone there,” said 88rising founder Sean Miyashiro.
