The Crane is a singer-songwriter who is attracting attention in the Asian music scene with a style centered on alternative R&B and songs that incorporate elements of 70s soul. “NEON” is a song created by ALI’s vocalist LEO, who was inspired by the energy of neon lights and people he felt when he visited Taiwan. Knowing the weaknesses of being alone, I wanted to sing with friends I could trust, so I made an offer to The Crane, who I had been eager to perform with for some time.

Please pay attention to LEO’s prayer-like message about how when he visited a city in Taiwan, he felt that the city was just like mine, and The Crane’s sharp yet warm singing.
