Asia goes dance: Globally acclaimed dancer TSUKUSHI (Fabulous Sisters) joins Japanese production duo AmPm for new single ‘Wake Up feat. Lilly Ahlberg’
Since their debut in 2017 with the hit song ‘Best Part of Us,’ Japanese masked production unit AmPm has collaborated with multiple artists worldwide.
AmPm has released ‘Wake Up feat. Lilly Ahlberg’, the eighth advance single from their forthcoming concept album themed on global travel – this time set in Jakarta.
The track is a collaboration with UK-based singer-songwriter Lilly Ahlberg. Telling its story through Ahlberg’s eyes and set against the backdrop of Jakarta, it depicts a “journey to find yourself.”
The music video features an incredible performance by TSUKUSHI, the 17-year-old dance prodigy who has appeared in several music videos.
TSUKUSHI is a member of Fabulous Sisters, the world-beating dance group that won the WORLD OF DANCE global dance tournament held in Los Angeles for two consecutive years in 2016 and 2017.
As the video unfolds in a classy Asian-style restaurant, TSUKUSHI reinterprets the unique vibe and flavour created by AmPm with choreography based on jazz dance.
Set in Jakarta, her beautiful dance expresses the feelings of overcoming the recent period of oppressive travel restrictions to find ourselves.
