SANTAWORLDVIEW released their new album “NICE TO KNEE YOU” today, Friday, June 7th.

This will be his first new album under his own name in about two years, and is a work filled with the feeling of “nice to meet you again.” It contains a total of 12 songs, including the pre-release singles “MOMENT” and “BEGIN,” as well as the singles “COWBOY’S LIFE (TOO GOOD TOO BAD)” and “Honest / Feeling Good (Piano Black),” which are arrangements of songs from the soundtrack of the anime “Cowboy Bebop.”

Guest appearances include label mate WILYWNKA, Kanee, who just announced the release of his first album “Remember Me?”, and rappers 9for and Bank.Somsaart from his hometown Yokohama. Producers include his friend YamieZimmer, as well as STUTS and Taka Perry, and on “Arrivederci” SANTAWORLDVIEW himself tries his hand at beat making.

In a complete departure from his previous album “I’M THE ONE,” which was mainly produced with melodic music, this time he returns to his roots and raps all the songs. In addition to songs such as “MOMENT,” “City to City feat. WILYWNKA,” and “Chandelier feat. 9for,” which boast his signature sharp and fast flow, the album also contains songs that show his delicate and human side with laid-back beats such as “Better Days feat. Kaneee,” “I Wish For U feat. Bank.Somsaart,” and “Boys don’t cry.”

In addition, with this work, they will hold their first live house solo concert at Shibuya WWW X in Tokyo on Sunday, September 15th. From today until 23:59 on Tuesday, June 11th, they will be accepting ultra-fast advance tickets (lottery) on e+.
