“O Venus, beauty of the skies,
To whom a thousand temples rise,
Gaily false in gentle smiles,
Full of love-perplexing wiles,
Grant us another JBrekkie music video,
To help my shuddered heart last ‘til tomorrow”

- Sappho (if she was around in 2024… probably…)

Following the release of a lyric video, an album announcement, and an upcoming tour, Japanese Breakfast has released the Renaissance-inspired video for her newest single, “Orlando in Love". Watch the video here:

Led by Michelle Zauner, Japanese Breakfast is getting ready to release their fourth album, For Melancholy Brunettes (& sad women), on March 21, 2025. The video leans above heavily into Renaissance-inspired touches, portraying Zauner as “Orlando”, a love-struck poet writing "69 cantos for melancholy brunettes and sad women." The video also stars Zauner’s friend, JUNGLE, as the clam-shell donning Venus. 

Japanese Breakfast is supporting the album with an international tour that kicks off at this year’s Coachella Music and Arts Festival.
