"Popcorn Film" Featured in Canadian Music Spotlight

When someone ghosts you, it hurts like hell. But pop artist Harriet Chung manages to make the whole thing sound glam – and even somewhat rock opera – in her whimsical and soaring new single “Popcorn Film.”

Accompanied by guitars, piano, and beautiful backup-singer harmonies, Harriet Chung sets up the premise of her “Popcorn Film” love story:

Our popcorn film seemed complete 

We shared our favorite things to eat 

Then took a stroll along a sandy beach

We held hands

Skipped rocks

Took some pics

Kissed in bright Muskoka chairs

And then we get an actual crack of thunder, right before we learn that the narrator’s lover is ambivalent at best: “Cuz I could see a cloud over you/ Something inside you wasn’t true/ I could sense it all within your sighs.”

 The romance unravels, until the beloved disappears and the ‘popcorn film’ is revealed to be an imaginary bliss. “It’s a heartfelt journey through love and loss, and it captures the bittersweet essence of a relationship that felt perfect but slowly revealed its cracks,” says Chung…
