Xinyi Kamiya to Release New Single "Mercury Retrograde" on August 10
Xinyi Kamiya returns with a new single, "Mercury Retrograde", dropping August 10.
Blending elements of alternative R&B, lo-fi, and electropop, the track features an airy, ambient soundscape paired with vocals that delicately reflect emotional turbulence.
In an age of unread messages and unsaid feelings, this song captures the raw reality of Gen Z living through emotional glitches.
Unstable hearts, frozen "read" receipts, and uncertain love
Like Mercury in retrograde, everything seems to move forward while quietly falling out of sync.
Through poetic lyrics and subtle beats, Kamiya portrays a young woman navigating her way through confusion, reaching toward her own emotional clarity.
A Tokyo-based singer, songwriter, and trackmaker, Xinyi Kamiya creates music that cuts through the noise with sharp sensitivity while holding deep emotion beneath the surface. Her sound blends elements of HIPHOP, electropop, and Y2K aesthetics, forming a cool yet emotional sonic palette. Having moved to Tokyo at the age of 14, her creative roots trace back to the urban loneliness and longing for connection she felt during that time. With a sharp instinct for the language of her generation, she writes lyrics that reflect the miscommunications through screens, memories left in devices, and the fragile reality hidden within digital anonymity. Switching seamlessly between English and Japanese, her words are carried by rhythmic flow and resonant sound, echoing the emotions and atmosphere of city life. Blurring the line between meaning and melody, her lyricism weaves poetry into beats, creating a distinct and immersive narrative world.
