It doesn’t seem that long ago — well, 2011 — that Malaysian singer-songwriter Yuna was playing free shows all around L.A., winning fans with her winsome vocals. Now she’s riding high behind her third full-length, “Chapters,” which features the Usher collaboration “Crush.” This week she debuted the evocative video for “Poor Heart,” directed by Raul Sanchez. “‘Poor Heart’ tells a story about a forgotten heart, how it takes two people to make it work again, Yuna says. “In the short film, a boy finds an abandoned heart in a shack, and immediately sends it over to a lifeless body of a dancer, bringing her to life and you see this incredible talent coming to life once the heart is delivered to her.”
