Jann Klose explores the sometimes baffling and inexplicable current state of the world with his latest single and music video \u201cSugar My<\/em>\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUp is down, day is night \u2014 not what it seems! Like Alice in Wonderland, stuck in-between\u201d sings Jann Klose on the chorus of his new single \u201cSugar My\u201d, from his upcoming 7th studio album, \u2018Surrender\u2019, to be released on Honey Rose Records. The song, a commentary on the sometimes baffling and inexplicable state of the world today, is a cinematic pop gem co-written with hit songwriter Alex Forbes (Chic\/Nile Rodgers, Taylor Dayne).

Working with one of the industry\u2019s most revered songwriters, Jann has always admired Alex Forbes who has had hits with Nile Rodgers\/Chic and Taylor Dayne. How the meeting came about and them eventually working together, is a wonderful story as Jann tells it \u201cWe met on the Forbes Yacht years ago when I was invited by a journalist friend to tag along on a ride up to West Point from New York City. It was quite the experience! Alex and I stayed in touch and she reached out to me after \u2018Love You the Most\u2019 became a YouTube hit. We started getting together for biweekly writing sessions during the pandemic and kind of became each other\u2019s \u2018therapist\u2019 while it felt like the world was ending.\u201d

What made the writing connection special for Jann was when they first got together to write, they immediately came up with a song that was fully written in about 2 hours. Jann was so impressed by her style and speed and wanted to keep working on more songs.\u00a0

So, \u201cSugar My\u201d was born next.

Jann recalls the writing session, saying \u201cWe wanted to create a feel of a sort of \u2018Alice in Wonderland\u2019 type vibe where there is a palatable sense of confusion and one is not entirely sure what\u2019s real and what\u2019s not. We wrote it at the onset of the pandemic, so it was very much a strong reflection on how we were feeling ourselves!\u201d

Moving from writing with Alex Forbes, Jann joined Producer Marcus Dembinski to record the single, which in true pandemic style started in his bedroom studio until they could access the recording studio. \u201cWell, at first it started there anyway and then, as things opened up, we tracked live instruments at Studio G in Brooklyn, New York,\u201d recalls Jann.

The release of the single is accompanied by the equally mesmerizing and visually stunning music video.

Jann reunited with Alex Vishno, who also worked on his music videos for \u201cLove You the Most\u201d and \u201cPilot Light\u201d. Alex recruited Eileen \u201cEJ\u201d Jaworowicz to choreograph and co-direct, and she brought in the 10 incredible dancers in the music video.

Looking at the visuals and concept for the video and how it connects with the theme of the song, the music video for \u201cSugar My\u201d celebrates this unity beautifully.

\u201cIt was really my manager, Morey Levovitz and Alex Vishno with EJ that conceptualized the idea. I think they intentionally sort of put me into a situation in which I kind of knew what to expect but only fully started to realize what they were going as we were shooting. As you can tell, there\u2019s a lot of trust involved, but I also knew that they got the song and what it was about, so I went with it. The idea is that people in the video start morphing from a state of disconnect into an open, free state where they become \u2018liberated\u2019,\u201d remarks Jann on the concept idea behind the video.\u00a0

It was a busy shoot day to put the video together, but one he thoroughly enjoyed! \u201cWe shot for 5 hours straight without any breaks at Studio 8 in Milford, CT! There were a couple of costume changes and makeup changes involved which really made it fun and exciting. The space we shot in looked fabulous so I think everyone\u2019s creativity was sparked and we were all \u201callowed\u201d to be exploratory with our movement and performances.\u201d\u00a0

With the brand new single and music video finally released, Jann has just one wish for those who hear and see \u201cSugar My\u201d. \u201cI hope that people will love it as much as we do. It\u2019s a really fun, upbeat tune with a cinematic production vibe to it.\u201d
