ZHU and Yuna wrote “Sky Is Crying” with Aaron Leibowitz, whose sensual saxophone plays out the track.
“I’m excited to share this next body of work with everyone as the world starts to move once again.”

The official video for “Sky Is Crying”offers a thought-provoking look at the impact the extended lockdown has had on artists, fans and the live music experience – as the explosion in digital communication and the specter of climate change take a toll on our collective psyche also. The haunting, black-and-white animated clip was helmed by Birdy Ben and produced by ELMØ for EL MOTION LAB, a Paris-based team that has collaborated with ZHU on previous projects.

Fans who pre-save / pre-order DREAMLAND 2021 will instantly receive “Sky Is Crying” plus “ONLY,” ZHU’s 2020 collaboration with Tinashe. Dancing Astronaut said, “‘ONLY’ is a blend of ominous undertones with an alluring edge” and Stereogum praised the “dark electronic pop track built around reverberating keyboard arpeggios and an increasingly frenetic thump.” DREAMLAND 2021 is the follow-up to ZHU’s 2018 album, RINGOS DESERT, which featured such guests as TOKiMONSTA and Tame Impala.
