In celebration of their 20th anniversary, i-dep has launched the RE: i-dep project to release a self-arranged piece. The first track is a reimagined version of "choose me," originally featured in the album "Super Departure," now titled "choose me - RE: i-dep ver. -," and it is available for streaming.
The rearranged "choose me" was recorded in a relaxed atmosphere, creating a living room vibe. Filled with a sense of live performance, the track embodies i-dep's distinctive CHILL NU-SOUL style - a fusion of individual members' exceptional musical abilities and subtly woven electronic sounds.
This feels enjoyable!
In 2004, they released their debut single worldwide from Italy's IRMA RECORDS. They have participated in numerous major music festivals such as SXSW and Summer Sonic, earning high praise from music fans both domestically and internationally. In 2019, they achieved the milestone of being the first Japanese act to perform at North America's largest music festival, FEQ, where they received the FEQ Excellence Award (PRIX FEQ AWARD). Comprising Nakamura Hiroshi (PC & Key), Cana (Vo), Imura Tatsuya (Gt), Sunayama Junichi (Ba & Key), and Kano Joji (Dr), the band's roots lie in Electronic music, Jazz, Funk, and Bossa Nova. Their style, built upon these foundations, incorporates various elements to transform into a sound filled with originality. While being pop in nature, their music paints a unique and timeless world, consistently evolving without losing its vibrancy. As they approach their 20th anniversary in 2024, the band is poised to celebrate two decades of their musical journey, marked by continuous innovation and artistic growth.
