Chinese American Bear Strikes a Chord with ‘Feelin’ Fuzzy’

Chinese American Bear, the duo revitalising the C-pop scene, have just embarked on a fresh adventure with Moshi Moshi Records. Their debut single with the label, ‘Feelin’ Fuzzy (毛绒绒的感觉)’, is a poignant tapestry of sound and emotion, interweaving the intimacy of their personal histories with the universal quest for a connection.
Married Seattle-based musicians Bryce Barsten and Anne Tong make up Chinese American Bear, a blend of melodic prowess and lyrical vulnerability. In their breakthrough track, Anne excavates the depths of her upbringing within a traditional Chinese immigrant family, mirroring the restrictive academic and social expectations set by her tiger mom. The song’s lyrics resonate with the experiences of many children of immigrants, yearning for freedom amidst a life prescribed by study and discipline.

Embrace the lush melodies and get swept away in the reflection of a childhood shaped by ambition and the subtle rebellion inherent in the dreams of a softer, fuzzier world.
