The track is from the artist’s debut album While He Is Still Asleep.
thea wang‘s gorgeously crafted, intimate single ‘I Wrote You Letters’ and its stunning video are the perfect encapsulation of everything that makes the artist and her soft sound feel so captivating and unforgettable.
There is a melancholy kind of sadness that lingers around the track, complimented perfectly by the reflective, intimate video that accompanies it. It is hard to put into words the way that the overall package makes you feel, the calmness and poignancy is almost transcendent at times, everything feels so intimate and genuine that it makes the track stand out, in the best, most affecting kind of way. There is something so gorgeous but so sad about it, a masterful showcase of all that thea wang is and the unique hold that she can take over you as a songwriter and storyteller. Something that will linger over you for well beyond your first listen.
Speaking of the video, thea said: “I wanted the waiting element in the song to be highlighted, and also really had a dream of and thought of the laundry place outside my apartment – that I took the promo pictures in – to come to life. It was a thought I had from the day I took the pictures. And I’m so happy we actually made it happen. It was a hectic and fun day, and we went around a lot of places to try and find an apartment to film outside, and since we were filming on 8mm and were working against the clock.”
