Alternative R&B artist/producer Dino Jr., who has experience in independently producing commercial songs for brands such as Rakuten Fashion and New Balance, welcomes vocalist Hiyn of the neo-soul band "luv" from Kansai, who recently made their major debut, as a featured guest. The summer song "Juice ft. Hiyn" will be released on August 7th. It's a sweet slow jam with a dream pop and neo-soul flavor, where Dino Jr. and Hiyn's singing voices intersect and sway over a stripped-down, simple and tight beat.
