Cafuné – the NYC-based duo of singer/songwriter Sedona Schat and writer/producer Noah Yoo have released a new standalone single titled Perspective, which is available today on all streaming platforms and accompanied by a visualizer. Perspective is co-produced by Imad Royal (Doja Cat, Carly Rae Jepsen) and finds Schat and Yoo reckoning with close relationships that have become almost unrecognizable.
Elaborating on the new song, the band shared, “Perspective came about from conversations we were having about the death of relationships in our respective lives and the disorientation that can come with shifting into a new season of life without someone who was once your everything.”
Perspective marks the first new music from Cafuné since their signing to Elektra Records and the release of their 2021 debut album Running, which is now available on vinyl. Originally released via Cafuné’s own Aurelians Club label, Running features the band’s platinum certified breakout hit Tek It, which reached the Top 5 at Alternative Radio, hit #1 on Billboard’s Bubbling Under Hot 100 chart, and has since logged over 320 million streams to date.
Cafuné are currently in the midst of their 2023 North American headline tour with special guests Bathe. The dates continue tonight in Portland, OR and extend through late March with stops in Seattle, Los Angeles, Nashville, New York City and other major markets across the U.S. Cafuné notably supported CHVRCHES on their 2022 North American headline tour.

Sedona Schat and Noah Yoo have been recording alternative pop songs together as Cafuné since their days as NYU students in the mid-2010s. Self-produced and almost entirely recorded by the duo at their homes, mostly during the pandemic, their debut album Running is a record born in isolation. It peers out at a world that feels like it’s on the precipice of disaster, considering what it means to get older, to carve out a future for yourself. It’s a labor of the duo’s friendship, of doing the work and trying to figure out what the way forward is, even when it seems like there’s no end in sight. It’s a record of growing old and growing up, of making something you can move to, whether you’re alone in a room, in a sweaty club with all of your friends, or driving away to someplace better.
