Alice Longyu Gao has released their electric new single “Kanpai” today.

The song arrives with an equally as hyper music video directed by Olivia Aquilina, which can be seen below. The producer/songwriter said this about their new cut:

"My best friend Madison Emiko Love and I wrote this song three years ago. Her grandma is a Japanese immigrant and we always want to champion & plug our culture everywhere we go. We’ve been waiting to put this song out, cuz back then no one with power in western music realized the power of Asian pop culture, no one really cared to put Asian talents on the table. The material world was asleep cuz they didn't see the money-benefits. 'Kanpai' means cheers in Chinese, Japanese and Korean; the joyful vibe translates perfectly throughout the song. The braggy-docious, rap-y bridge part in the song is what I wish for, it's not my reality yet. Last year was dark for me, and for everyone. But now it is time to regroup and restart, this song wakes me up in the morning, it reminds me that I came to this earth with a mission. I aspire to inspire and benefit other people’s lives. I do that through my art."

Alice Longyu Gao will have a string of shows in the following months with supporting stints alongside Cupcakke, Terror Jr, and Rebecca Black. Their forthcoming tour dates can be seen below.

“Kanpai” is available on digital services right now.
