Kuro "JUST SAYING HI" CD

The best album that will surprise everyone has arrived!
Answer to HER from JAPAN
Kuro, the vocalist of TAMTAM, who will also be performing at FUJIROCK'19, has launched a solo project!

In addition to songs with talented track makers such as EVISBEATS, Shin Sakiura, and ji2kia, the most popular singer-songwriter/guitarist Kimijima Hiroki participated in sound production, and Kuro also produced a track herself. She also teamed up again with ODOLA, who provided the best track for "Metamorphose," and deepened her direction toward HIPHOP, which she expressed in guest appearances with TONAN (ROCKASEN), and completed her first solo album, which has the pop sense seen in TAMTAM and her own ambient artistry. The album is filled with a wide range of musical styles, from indie R&B and pop to hip hop, which resonates with the solo works of Syd of The Internet and HER.

"Kuro's appeal as a vocalist and his chemistry with the track makers"

Kuro, who writes her own songs in the band, worked with the trackmakers as the vocalist, creating a chemical reaction that resulted in a more pop and personal expression on this album. The lyrics and melody were all written by Kuro, and the album conveys the pop sensibility seen in TAMTAM as well as her own deepened artistry.

"VIDEO," which will be released digitally and as a 7-inch track, was produced by Shin Sakiura, who is active as a manipulator, guitarist, and tour member of SIRUP in addition to his solo activities. The two hit it off as they both love mellowness. By staying in tune with the worldview of the track, Kuro's appeal as a vocalist is maximized, making it a supreme song that is the centerpiece of this album.

The lyrics "When I look down from the sky, this city that someone built, hey, how beautiful it was. I wanted you, who is sleeping next to me, to see it too, LADY" won't leave my head. "PORTLAND" (Prod. EVISBEATS), which is looking forward to the reaction on the floor, is a chill and relaxing track by EVISBEATS, and is a song full of soft energy that can be taken as an encouragement to yourself and others, infusing the reality of Kuro's daily life into a superb track. In addition, "Iris", which was sound-produced by the most notable SSW/guitarist at the moment, Kimishima Ohzora, fuses the floating feeling of the guitar tone that only he can produce with the multi-layered chorus work. It has succeeded in creating a fantastic world. In addition to showing good compatibility with the dope tracks of ji2kia, a rising star in the beat scene, and ODOLA, with whom she has previously collaborated, Kuro's own personal tastes are strongly reflected in the two self-produced tracks, allowing you to enjoy a new side of Kuro as a composer. The lyrics and melodies of this work are all written by Kuro, and her own cool authorship and pop sense based on black music are well balanced. The best album born from the chemical reaction with up-and-coming track makers has arrived!
