An experimental soul band that performs aggressive music activities, including appearances at major festivals in Japan and overseas touring activities,WONK. The other day, tickets for their one-man show at Ebisu Liquid Room were sold out immediately. The show was a huge success, with a packed house, and the band's momentum is only growing.
The drummer and band leader of WONK, which is creating a new movement in the music scene.Arata valiantreleased his first solo work, "Persona.
This album marks his first attempt at vocal performance. With a sweet and deep voice reminiscent of Daniel Caesar or Frank Ocean, the ambient R&B content is one step ahead of today's J-R&B.
The single "Apartment," distributed prior to the album release, was co-written by Misaki Tanaka, an illustrator who enjoys an overwhelming following among young people. The distinctive word choice, combined with the warmth of the sound, creates a relaxing taste that evokes a sense of nostalgia.
The lineup of performers is also gorgeous. The supporting cast includes guitarist Satoshi Inoue, who worships jazz legends Jim Hall and Ron Carter and leads the jazz world in Japan, as well as singer kiki vivi lily, who has performed with the rapper Spit Qi.
We invite you to experience the fantastic and core worldview and pleasant sound that will make you want to repeat it over and over again.
