Lovespirals’ new single, “Not Myself,” is a nostalgic nod to the band’s early millennium chillout sound. In contrast to the darker and more despairing vibe of “Noumenon,” “Not Myself” invites quiet meditation with its minimalist lyrics that exploring themes of self-identity, set against dreamy, slightly jazzy yet ambient soundscapes and soft beats. The perfect soundtrack for late summer moving into early autumn.
Available now on Spotify, Apple Music, Amazon Music, YouTube, Bandcamp, and other digital music platforms.
Check out the chill music video I created for the latest Lovespirals single on YouTube. Follow Ryan and I along the California coastline as a sunny afternoon deepens into a gorgeous sunset set to the funky and soulful drum n bass grooves of “Misunderstood” from the new Love Spirals Downwards’ release, ‘Flux Deluxe Edition.’
It’s perhaps a little known fact that Ryan and I started dating during his promotions for ‘Flux’ when it dropped in 1998. At the time I was the music director and college radio DJ at KUCI 88.9 fm where he was spending quite a bit of time doing interviews, a live performance, and DJ sets for various music shows, including my own. I even wrote a review of ‘Flux’ for the radio station guide. It’s quite an honor to become a part of this nostalgic album 25 years later.

Out now on YouTube is the official music video for the new single by Lovespirals, “The Call.” This dreamy video was filmed entirely in and around the band’s hometown of Long Beach, CA, shot and edited by Anji with some post production by Ryan. So many great spots to see sunsets from!
Ryan and I just posted the official music video for “Down Low” from our 3-song ‘Smile – Single’ to YouTube. This midnight vibes video highlights our own downtown Long Beach for a moody change of pace. This is the first time Lovespirals have created a music video for every song on a release, and we’re pretty excited about it.
Lovespirals ‘Smile – Single’ featuring “Down Low” is available for digital download in your choice of audio format from https://lovespirals.bandcamp.com

Lovespirals new single, “Smile,” combines Ryan’s classic shimmery guitars with a laid back beat, dreamy electric piano, and Anji’s earthy yet ethereal vocals to create a warm and welcoming sound that evokes the sunny beachside lifestyle depicted in the song’s brand new music video shot and edited by the band themselves. Ryan’s scenes were shot along the Palos Verdes cliffside while Anji’s scenes were shot at the Crystal Cove State Park.

Anji produced a special vlog for Happy Healthy Vegan showcasing many of the vegan food options at Disneyland’s California Adventure Park. Filmed over the course of several visits, the 10 minute video highlights a dozen different spots that feature plant based options including the new PYM Test Kitchen in Avengers Campus, the Magic Key Terrace, Dia de los Muertes specials at the Plaza de la Familia and much more. If you miss “the sexiest voice in podcasting” then you will really appreciate the dulcet tones of Anji’s voiceovers in this vlog. The video also features the classic song “Our Nights” by Lovespirals, Anji’s band with Ryan Lum, who is also the co-host of Happy Healthy Vegan, as well as Anji’s husband.
An official music video for the song “Spinning Circles” from our ‘Life Goes On’ album is out now on the Lovespirals YouTube channel.
Lovespirals “Spinning Circles” filmed and edited by Anji Bee.
Over the past 2-3 years I’ve been filming various scenes I thought would work well with the lyrical concept and I finally took the time to edit them together for this fun must video that contrasts black and white and super colorful scenes. The parasol scenes were shot on Laguna Beach during the performance of ‘The Shoreline Project’ by artist Elizabeth Turk. We had randomly been on site just as 1000 people converged for this performance piece, and it was quite surreal! The carousel and teacups ride scenes were both shot at Disneyland, and the stupa scene was shot at Maui Dharma Center in Paia.
Hope this video makes you smile!

To celebrate the start of a new year, I put together a music video for the title track of our Lovespirals album, “Life Goes On,” featuring some of the more peaceful moments I filmed over the past 12 tumultuous months.
If you subscribe to Happy Healthy Vegan, you may remember this song from my Maui Vlog. A lot of viewers asked about it, so I thought I’d pop out the music sequence from the vlog and finish it up as a music video so you could appreciate the whole song. This beautiful track has been languishing by the wayside, neglected and apparently forgotten for 5 years… It began as an Aerotek instrumental in 2012 which Anji fell in love with. A hasty vocal demo sent to Aerotek lead to an updated version which received a lot of love here on YouTube. Unfortunately, Aerotek cancelled our contract before it’s scheduled Spring 2013 release, so this amazing remix by Ukranian producer, Mobil, has never seen the light of day. I thought it a shame that nobody should ever hear our work! This is a slightly edited cut of the track.
Retro beat maestro, The Grooveblaster, and soulful songstress, Anji Bee, have created a number of laid back collaborations over the past decade, but “Destiny” is perhaps their best yet. Though originally released in mid 2016 as a digital single, this is the first time it’s been released on YouTube. It’s high time this beautiful chill out song had an equally gorgeous video. Get ready to swing into spring with this flowery lyric video shot and edited by Ms Bee, herself!
