I-RING's long-awaited new song, "FLOWER - Heart Hallelujah," is finally here after a year. Continuing from their previous collaboration, this song is co-produced with ONODUB. Featuring the prominent artist "The Queen of Funk," WOODY FUNK, a representative talk box player from Japan, who has graced the stage with I-RING on numerous occasions. The song beautifully portrays the blooming "flower," likening it to the joys and sorrows that people have overcome. It carries a POSITIVITY-filled message, celebrating the beauty of those who live strongly in the present, no matter what challenges they have faced. This exquisite R&B masterpiece is filled with heartfelt emotions. The intro, showcasing I-RING's skilled chorus work, sets the tone for the song. The entire composition, including the sound and vocal melody, caters to urban music enthusiasts in their 30s to 50s, reminiscent of the 90s to the early 2000s. The ending, featuring WOODYFUNK's play, is hailed by director Sergio Muto as one of her finest performances. The music video is directed by "Kazuki Ishii," who is not only a professional cameraman but has also gained attention in certain circles for his recent works. He skillfully brings out the unique color scheme and texture, incorporating well-thought-out direction to create a world-building masterpiece that captivates viewers.
