After many years as the electro-pop duo GL—released under the label 〈PPU〉—and as the cult-favorite indie band Dorsal Fins, he resumed his career as a solo artist under his own name in 2023. Her style perfectly captures the mood and talent of Melbourne’s current cinematic soul scene. Backed by members of Surprise Chef, Karate Boogaloo, and Temporary Blessings, this release is an unmissable session that reflects the scene’s current state. (See the credits below for participating members.)
The A-side features “Promise To Keep,” a lighthearted track with a ’60s soul vibe that showcases her cute vocals, paired with the rich and sweet ballad “Change Of Heart” on the B-side. Don’t miss it! (Original Japanese text by AYAM)
