And the adventure continues...
California singer-songwriter Cameron Lew who has led the Ginger Root project has not only been providing some new groovy songs of nostalgia over the past few years, he's also been producing the music videos stringing together a narrative of an 80s aidoru named Kimiko who could no longer stand the rigors of stardom and putting up a false front. She literally runs away back to normalcy and anonymity while her songwriter Ginger Root himself is suddenly thrust into the limelight and revels in his new position in life and career.
"Nisemono" (Imposter) is the title track from his September 2022 EP. Waves of nostalgia crashed over my ears and eyes as I first heard the synths and percussion seemingly being filtered through a diaphanous but steady time field dividing the 2020s and the 1980s. The video this time has Kimiko wondering whether her sudden decision to leave show business had been a little hasty. Will there be a final confrontation between her and Ginger or will there be collaboration? Stay tuned.
