Ginger Root - “Loneliness“ (Official Music Video)

“Loneliness“ is the first single off of Ginger Root’s next EP, “Nisemono“ out Sept 9th on Acrophase Records. The year is 1983, Ginger Root is asked to write and produce songs for up-and-coming Japanese idol, Kimiko Takeguchi. Right before Kimiko’s America debut, she quits, leaving her manager to make the last minute decision of having Ginger Root perform in her place since he knows all the songs. By coincidence, a new star is born. “Nisemono“ or 「偽物」means fake or fraud. The EP touches on imposter syndrome, and not feeling like yourself.
