Haru Nemuri will release the "Bang (Amane Uyama Remix)" this coming Friday, September 16. The original version of the song can be found on Haru's newest album release, 'SHUNKA RYOUGEN', out now. Pre-save the remix here.
Amane Uyama is a singer/songwriter/producer who also participated as a co-producer on Haru's songs "Pink Unicorn" and "Souzou suru", the latter being found on 'SHUNKA RYOUGEN'.
The remix further deconstructs/reconstructs the experimental and alternative progressive sound of the original song. It brings out new charm in "Bang", with a variety of approaches woven in by Uyama, who incorporates elements of avant-garde hyper-pop.
The lyrics of the song deep dive on human complexity and empathy - or lack thereof - at times. "We are all different in the point of what we feel and think, and we're never enable to understand each other. And then, we have the only way to oppose this division getting deeper. It is to engage in dialogueanyway. We should upgrade our thought intermittently by talking each other to make
this society by ourselves. In order to do that, we have to imagine others' sadness, anger and pain existing certainly now, knowing the fact that we can't understand completely each other," explains Haru.
Haru Nemuri will return to North America with a string of live dates kicking off October 1 in Montreal, QC as part of POP Montreal 2022.
Haru captivated audiences earlier this year with her talked about live shows leading to epic performances at SXSW where she was reined "one of the best performances" writers saw that year. Her mix of emotion, passion, energy, and guttural screams on stage have left those who see her in awe and wanting to find out more about the Japan based singer, songwriter and poetry rapper.
'Shunka Ryougen' was heralded by publications like Pitchfork, The Fader, Paste Magazine, noting, "blending elements of J-pop, rap, and hardcore, the experimental Japanese artist's latest album presents a convincing balance of nihilism and hope,".
