Be Sweet is Zauner’s first official release since her 2019 cover of Tear for Fears’ classic,
Head Over Heels, showcasing the time for development and revival that Zauner has taken before the release of
Be Sweet.
When speaking about her new album, Zauner shared how “For me, a third record should feel bombastic and so I wanted to pull out all the stops for this one,” which she has demonstrated in her simplified lyrics and care-free feeling.
Alongside her new album, Zauner is set to release a book, ‘Crying in H Mart’, which is a memoir for her mother that celebrates her mixed-race identity and Korean culture.
