Is anyone else just finding out about Simu Liu's music career?
The Barbie actor quietly dropped a four song EP titled ANXIOUS-AVOIDANT today
Perhaps inspired by Drake’s surprise album release today, or even mega-stars like Beyoncé and Taylor Swift who’ve seen huge returns from similar strategies in the past, Marvel actor and one-of-the-Kens Simu Liu is banking on nothing but the power of his stardom to boost the release of his new EP, ANXIOUS-AVOIDANT. Like, literally nothing. In terms of sheer number of posts, the actor’s torn Achilles tendon has gotten more airtime on his Instagram page in recent weeks than anything regarding his music career. Also, Simu Liu has a music career! There’s a lot to process here.
The actor reposted a number of stories from fans praising today’s four-song release—including one from Joe Jonas, who is credited as a co-writer on the song “Break My Heart”—before dropping his own announcement post later in the afternoon. “from love and sex to heartbreak and depression, these songs all speak to my personal experiences navigating through life,” he wrote. “i hope you’ll all give it a listen this friday, and of course, am always grateful beyond words for everyone that has been a part of my artistic journey.”
