Making his exciting debut is Filipino Canadian multi-instrumentalist Hamb Sun, introducing us into his imaginative world with an 80s electro-funk hit “Jigglypuff”. Speaking on his debut release, Hamb Sun states “Jigglypuff is a song about yearning to make a genuine connection with someone who only exists to them in a parasocial nature. I wrote it at a time where I felt increasingly lonely, increasingly out of touch with online interactions and completely let down by the facades of social media. It felt like falling for someone I actually knew almost nothing about. As I was writing, I thought “What does that sort of heartbreak look like? How would you express that in a song?”
Hamb Sun drew inspiration from experimental sounds and hot pop hooks for a chill and smooth vibe on this track, tying it all in with a creative and Wes Anderson inspired video. Whereby we see the artist take on the role of a villain terrorising and intimidating civilians. With more music on the way, it’s advised to keep a close eye on the artist.
