Dreamy Drive (feat. Aya & Michi) : This is the first release from "Chill in Itoshima", a collective art and music project organized by COLORAN KORAN.JP. The project features collaborations between artists based in or visiting Itoshima, Fukuoka, aiming to share the relaxed vibe of Itoshima with the world.
The track is a chill beat, perfect for a scenic drive through Itoshima's beautiful landscapes - whether it's along the coast, through the mountains, or down peaceful country roads. It's a song that brings a refreshing breeze to your everyday life, encouraging you to take a step forward and enjoy the moment.
This collaboration includes Aya, primarily a jazz singer active in Fukuoka, who brings a unique style with a touch of pop while also exploring other genres; Michi, a singer who loves Itoshima's nature and cats and excels in various genres like R&B, jazz, rock, and pop; and JP's PlayRoom, who handled all the instruments, mixing, and music production, and is known for his "chill guitar" that relaxes you just by listening. The mastering was done at London's Metropolis Studio by Andy 'Hippy' Baldwin, who has worked with artists like Oasis, Pet Shop Boys, and Blur.
The artwork and animation were created by Rui Nishimura, an illustrator, designer, and manga artist based in Itoshima, known for her four-panel comic "Tokyo Nekomata Itoshima Wandering" published in the Itoshima Newspaper. The artwork features cats, Chill and Dori, enjoying the nature of Itoshima while wrapped in pleasant music. Their laid-back, playful vibe perfectly matches the chill and groovy sound, making your drive even more enjoyable.
"Where shall we go next? Let's let the wind ruffle our fur as we ride on..."
