Her upcoming album, Couples Only, will be released on July 12th.
After the release of her latest single "On The Run" featuring keys and synths by close friend Roger O'Donnell (The Cure), Queen Kwong, (a.k.a. Carré Kwong Callaway) has shared her new visual for the song. "On The Run" is the second single off of her upcoming album Couples Only, out July 12 via Sonic Ritual. (Pre-save here: https://lnk.to/CouplesOnly).
For the "On The Run" music video, Queen Kwong takes a dark, yet comedic aim at the superficialness of reality TV, specifically dating shows. The video showcases the standard over-the-top shenanigans found in the genre; drinking, partying, marriage proposals, however the dynamic shifts when Carré's character takes the final rose ceremony into her own hands Speaking of the video, Carré says: "The video was inspired by the TV franchise, Bachelor in Paradise -a reality show on which people go to Mexico to find their 'soulmates' and get engaged at the end. I used lines from episodes of the actual show in the video to spotlight the ridiculousness of the fantasized version of love that pop culture perpetuates. People want the fairy-tale, TV romance no matter who it's with, whether it's real or not."A few years ago, Carré was diagnosed with cystic fibrosis and told she may only have a decade left to live. As a result of the condition, she's prone to episodes where her lungs fill up with blood and she's literally drowning. If that wasn't bad enough, two months after her diagnosis, her husband jumped ship.
