Beatmaker and producer Aru-2 has announced that he will release his latest album, “Anida,” on Wednesday, June 5th.
This work, “Anida,” is an archive of the artist’s musical experiences condensed over the four years since his previous work, “Little Heaven.”
The album contains many songs that were created through sessions with artists from all over Japan, including Green Assassin Dollar, Kzyboost, SBK, Asei Muraguchi, and STUTS, as well as songs featuring talented rappers such as Daichi Yamamoto, Campanella, JJJ, MUTA, NF Zessho, Sharaku, and ISSUGI.
The result is a rich piece that features Aru-2’s delicate, euphoric vocals and a mellow groove throughout.
Today, Wednesday, May 29th, the release of the album’s pre-release single “Ase,” featuring Daichi Yamamoto, will begin.
Kzyboost participates on lead synth, and the song is full of Daichi Yamamoto’s skillful rap skills and playfulness.
The artwork was done by photographer Saeka Shimada, and the mixing and mastering was done by Aru-2 himself.
An analog version of the work is also scheduled to be released in the fall.
