High Dive was produced by the band with additional production on several tracks from GRAMMY Award-winning producer Ariel Rechtshaid.
Multi-Platinum DC trio SHAED - who has surpassed 2 BILLION streams worldwide - released their new single "Osaka" today with a beautiful music video created by visual artist Puks of Kmotion Designs. Inspired by a 2019 trip where the band performed to one of the biggest crowds of their career at Summer Sonic Japan, "Osaka" sees SHAED paying homage the incredible culture and magical scenery that they fell in love with.
"Osaka" was inspired by our trip to Japan in 2019. We spent two glorious weeks hopping around the island and playing massive festivals in Tokyo and Osaka. We fell in love with the culture, landscape, food and people, and had the best time of our lives. We left Japan with a confidence we never knew existed within ourselves. "Osaka" is an expression of that feeling. - SHAED
