This song is on my extensive โMysterious Cafรฉโ playlist. โThe Face That Launched a Thousand Ships.โ Iโve joked for a while that with its combination of an ethnic Chinese singer, lounge-like sound, and moderately smoky vocals, it evoked Shanghai in the art deco 1920s and โ30s. Now Iโm paying more attention to this official video, andโฆ Itโs shot in Shanghai! And those lyrics!
I guess I got it right.
