Milo Kobayashi, an up-and-coming hip-hop artist, released a new single called ‘Think!’, which feels like the first rays of sunshine on cold winter days. With a vibrant and warm tone, the track engulfs you with its thought-provoking lyrics and unique flow.
Born in Osaka, Japan, and raised in North Augusta, South Carolina, Kobayashi draws from a rich mix of cultural influences, which is reflected beautifully in his music. He touches upon subjects like personal growth, how lonely it can feel sometimes and how resilience is the only way out. With a soulful, deep voice, his lyrics are emotionally charged, and the track itself stands out as eclectic and fun.
Think! has an unorthodox delivery that doesn’t feel out of place even for a moment, making the track very authentic to Kobayashi’s style. The beats feel familiar and fresh at the same time. The artist addresses very heavy themes while maintaining its playful charm. It allows the listener to feel vulnerability on a personal level without alienating them, making the song feel like hope. It’s a song that encourages reflection without losing its sense of fun, and let’s be honest, isn’t that what life is really all about?
We live in an age where we all are chasing over-polished perfection. Think! gives us a much-needed break and a new yet also known perspective that it is important to be real. It is important to be heartfelt and earnest about our experiences, and Milo Kobayashi just did that in the coolest way possible.
The track is available for streaming on popular sites like Spotify, Apple Music, YouTube, and Amazon Music!
