    "comment": "For Seattle’s Chinese American Bear, band life is truly a family affair. Bryce Barsten and Anne Tong met 17 years ago in high school jazz band and have been together ever since. They have been married for seven years. The music they make is an engaging multilingual brand of hyper-melodic pop that combines twee instrumentation with lyrics sung in both English and Mandarin.: https://www.undertheradarmag.com/interviews/chinese_american_bear_on_wah/\n--\nAnne says of the track:\n\n“This song is one of the more romantic love songs we’ve written. It’s inspired by our own love story. Bryce and I first met in high school, we dated for ten years before getting married in 2018. We’ve now officially been together for over half of our lives. The style of the song is an ode to my lifelong obsession with pop music. I kept asking Bryce to write a song that’s more directly pop, and he finally did! It was really fun to work on, and a challenge for him to produce/mix something in this vein.”\n--\nHere's the wonderful video for \"Forever Lover\": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gg-daxxRAFQ",
