▼About the album “Deep Blue”
“Deep Blue” is a work that emerged from a two-year studio session with Deey. Inspired by introspective and passionate lyrics, this album allowed Deey to express his musical worldview, combining various beats.
What you can feel throughout the album is a journey of emotion and story. As the title “Deep Blue” suggests, I believe that by experiencing the deeper aspects of music, listeners will discover new and inspiration. I’m proud that my collaboration with Deey has come to this point, and I’d be happy if the emotion will be delivered to the listeners.
▼About the 7-inch single “Lovers”
We are honored to have been remixed by 1Co.INR and Phase1992 (ONENESS). This is a photo that I am very excited to see how the original will change depending on the different artists, including my own remix. Lovers is also a popular song at live shows. We hope that through the remix, we can bring new energy to more locations. Each remix offers a different perspective, so you’ll find new discoveries every time you listen. I look forward to seeing this 7-inch become loved by more people in DJ play and listening.
