NYC pop performance artist, Jennifer Vanilla (they/them), announces their forthcoming album Castle In The Sky out August 5. Along with the announcement, Jennifer Vanilla, aka Becca Kauffman, shares new single ‘Take Me For A Ride’. Watch the video directed by Dawn Lombardi below!
Dawn Lombardi shares “I wanted to have some sort of sketch that opens up the video because I think that’s super old school and classic. It’s boring to open music videos with just nothing. When I’m directing something I want to tell a story and add some jazz to the situation. The video to me was all about movement and energy. We needed dancers and we needed pure talent to fill the screen and that’s exactly what we achieved.”
Collaboratively crafted by Kauffman and co-writer/co-producer Brian Abelson, who also worked with Jennifer Vanilla on their 2019 debut EP, J.E.N.N.I.F.E.R. (Beats in Space), and whose credits include releases on Lobster Theremin, HAUS of ALTR, and more, Jennifer Vanilla’s forthcoming full length is a deft and mercurial “jennifreaky” journey, traversing 90s dance music, no wave, post-punk, art pop, new age and experimental R&B.
