A quiet declaration - to keep making music in Japanese, on his own terms, outside the boundaries of conventional J-POP.
The debut solo full-length features 12 tracks: 5 newly written songs alongside 7 remastered singles.
The title Close Encounters of the One reflects a series of personal "firsts" - launching as a solo artist, releasing his first full album, and welcoming a new life into the world. All of them unknown, all of them transformative. A quiet nod to Close Encounters of the Third Kind, and a chapter entirely his own.
(With this release, the artist formerly known as KENNY officially becomes KENNY PARAVES.)
KENNY PARAVES is the solo venture of Japanese band SPiCYSOL's lead vocalist, KENNY. Built on a foundation of acoustic guitar, his sound weaves together the essence of Neo-Soul, Funk, and Lo-Fi Hip-Hop, painting a chill, relaxing groove that melts into the ocean and surrounding scenery. A blend of "Paradise" and "Waves," the name PARAVES embodies his mission: to invite every listener into a sonic paradise.
