Yamazaki is a Japanese alternative artist who honors genres by liberating them. He does that by allowing them to simultaneously flow, rock into electronica, pop into dance music, accentuated by some emo, rap and even a dash of ethereal energy and trance as well. His latest single, ‘Hanei’ forms like a fluid tapestry, with each style synchronized, adapted, featured, and influenced in sophisticated and creative ways. They all flow into the theme with a modernity that you can’t help but enjoy and appreciate.
The artist is a visionary. This soundscape is experimental, lush with exploratives and powerful ideas. It is like a starburst with fantastic sonic material. The introductory textures are smooth, phased into coarse verse flows against a backdrop of synth echoes. And then there is a luring beat line that loops into thundering riffs. At this time, the vocals take on an emo feel, so deeply expressive, flowing into falsettos. The best way to experience this track is to absorb the feel of the melodies, the emotions of the synths, and mercurial expression of the vocals. There’s so much diversity to every moment that you can’t help but marvel at the confluence that he brings. Listen Now!
The track is available for streaming on popular sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube Music, and Amazon Music!
