The fifth single I Wanna Know by new generation R&B and SOUL unit lo-key design will be released on Wednesday October 14 as part of neo nostalgia the first EP from the R&B project alt.

lo-key design is an R&B and SOUL unit consisting of vocalist salto and trackmaker Rikuto Nagira who are the same age. They cover Joe's classic I Wanna Know while preserving the organic warmth and familiar melody that Rikuto Nagira has loved since childhood, reinterpreting the song through lo-key design's delicate sensibility.

Retaining the sensuality and bittersweet emotion of the original, the track is reimagined as a contemporary and lighthearted R&B song with a subtle sense of nostalgia. With its warm sound and relaxed atmosphere, it is a cover made to be enjoyed slowly as the seasons shift from autumn to winter and the air gradually turns colder.

Artist Profile

  • lo-key design

    lo-key design is a contemporary R&B and SOUL unit that resonates with Gen Z listeners. The duo consists of vocalist salto and trackmaker Rikuto Nagira, who are the same age. Their delicate yet vibrant sound, created under the concept of lo-key meaning understated and subtle, is one of their defining characteristics. The two met at university in 2017 and quickly connected through their shared passion for music, forming a band together. In August 2019, they began collaborating as a duo and made their debut in October 2019 with the digital EP DESIGN. Despite being their debut release, the track CAREFREE feat. kojikoji became a million-stream hit on Spotify, attracting significant attention. In 2021, they released their first full-length album PALETTE. The album, rich in color and texture as if scattered with vibrant paints, received widespread acclaim. Since then, lo-key design has continued to actively release original music and collaborative works with a wide range of artists and creators, building a growing audience both in Japan and internationally.
