Tears For Fears 1985 Meets Japanese Breakfast 2019!

When good music is good, it's great and there is no time limit to when fans can and will enjoy.  In the case of award winning Pop group Tears for Fears, their music is no exception.  My friends at Giant Step shared some sweet information that original TFF fans will love ... the classic "Head Over Heels" song has been re-released!

Today, W Records, an imprint from W Hotels Worldwide, has released a cover of Tears for Fears’ “Head Over Heels,” by Japanese Breakfast (Michelle Zauner, a Dead Oceans recording artist). “Japanese Breakfast has recorded a beautiful, ethereal reimagining of ‘Head Over Heels’,” said Curt Smith co-founder of Tears For Fears.

Last month, Zauner released the first of her two singles for W Records, an original song titled “Essentially.” “‘Essentially’ is a spacey, yet danceable thumper that finds Zauner demanding the kind of love that makes everything—and everyone—else seem trivial by comparison, like looking down on a crowd from a great height,” said Paste Magazine. Both tracks were recorded in the W Sound Suite at W Bali - Seminyak. Fans recently enjoyed a Japanese Breakfast performance at W Taipei on May 25th.

W Records will be reaching beyond music to support a cause that’s important to both W Hotels and the artist. A portion of the proceeds from the streaming of both Japanese Breakfast tracks will benefit the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU).

Japanese Breakfast joins fellow W Records performers Amber Mark, Perfume Genius and Roosevelt, rounding out the inaugural class of W Records.
