SSW’s MALIYA and producer me-mai will release their collaboration single “Ms.Independent” on Wednesday, March 5th. The visualizer for the song will be released at noon on Friday, March 8th.
This is a special song that was released to commemorate “International Women’s Day.” It describes the image of a woman who tries to become stronger while exploring what she wants to do in a busy society. In addition, last year, MALIYA released the song “Body” produced by TOMOKO IDA to commemorate “International Women’s Day.”
Production of this work began last fall when me-mai called out to MALIYA, whom he admired. The two, who share their favorite music and influenced roots, stayed in the studio and found many similarities in the many sessions, which eventually turned into a form. After many demos, beats and months of construction, the work has been said to have been more nuanced and broader than the original depiction.
The visualizer is filmed and edited by Jun Usuda. The confident appearance of MALIYA and me-mai is said to have a message of “being strong and beautiful” with the theme of “independence of the mind” as they hope for a world where individuals can live freely, not bound by social prejudices or values of others.
MALIYA will be holding a live series from Shibuya WWW, Tokyo on Wednesday, March 12th.“Melt: Blend”He is scheduled to appear in the band set.
