Brutal Pop Artist SUN Releases Memorable New Single and Video

Franco-German pop artist SUN has created a unique vibe that is all her own. Her brand of 'brutal pop' is on display in her new song and video, "John & I (Money)".

The talented singer, songwriter, guitarist, and actress is telling a story on the new track and she had this to say about the material. "John & I (Money)" is a cynical and sassy rock song about the twisted relationship of a rich couple (the woman's point of view). After a poppy verse with a sassy riff, cute melody and cynical lyrics the chorus comes in like a hardcore tornado with brutal honesty and aggressive screams like the meltdown of a rich karen! When I wrote the song I imagined a rich housewife loosing it in...
