Way Too Fast
The second advance single from the upcoming double-name EP Hot Issue, set for release on March 4th.
This track channels the melodic vibe of early-2000s R&B, built around a sensual and smooth concept that fits the theme of the project.
Influenced by Hiphop, Jazz, and Soul Music ZIW's music freely moves in and out of sound with an addictive sense of rhythm. Lyrically, the music also has a "humanity" and and the lyrics are also "human" and make you feel how the heart should be. The name ZIW comes from the rain that falls just when you need it. Okinawan rapper ZIW is slowly spreading among listeners with an ear for music. His first album "Bikakushida" is a must-listen album.
