In 2024, i-dep celebrates its 20th anniversary with monthly releases! The new song for May is an electonica ballad that blends fantasy and romanticism. Titled "Heaven", it will be available for streaming on May 29th (Wednesday).
Departing from their funk style that has been consistent so far, this song is a hip-hop electronica ballad with a mix of fantasy and romanticism. From a quiet intro to a grand ending, the experimental and beautiful melody-pop style overlaps, embodying the true i-dep sound!
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.
