I-RING's long-awaited new song, "FLOWER - Heart Hallelujah," is finally here after a year.
Continuing from their previous collaboration, this song is co-produced with ONODUB.
Featuring the prominent artist "The Queen of Funk," WOODY FUNK, a representative talk box player from Japan, who has graced the stage with I-RING on numerous occasions.
The song beautifully portrays the blooming "flower," likening it to the joys and sorrows that people have overcome. It carries a POSITIVITY-filled message, celebrating the beauty of those who live strongly in the present, no matter what challenges they have faced. This exquisite R&B masterpiece is filled with heartfelt emotions.
The intro, showcasing I-RING's skilled chorus work, sets the tone for the song. The entire composition, including the sound and vocal melody, caters to urban music enthusiasts in their 30s to 50s, reminiscent of the 90s to the early 2000s. The ending, featuring WOODYFUNK's play, is hailed by director Sergio Muto as one of her finest performances.
The music video is directed by "Kazuki Ishii," who is not only a professional cameraman but has also gained attention in certain circles for his recent works. He skillfully brings out the unique color scheme and texture, incorporating well-thought-out direction to create a world-building masterpiece that captivates viewers.

After gaining studio experience in Tokyo and LA, I started Studio Decibel in 2008. The beats I create are based on a wide range of musical knowledge, spanning genres such as Soul, Funk, Hip Hop, and R&B. These beats are popular for meeting the needs of artists and clients while providing fresh inspiration. My engineering skills in recording sessions are highly regarded for bringing out the best in an artist's natural talent. I possess a broad range of knowledge and techniques, from mixing down with an overseas Hip Hop approach to tailoring mixes for the Japanese market, always delivering beyond clients' expectations. Additionally, I release tracks under the name ONODUB on my own label, featuring various guest artists. Recently, I have also released numerous instrumental beats under the alias Cavo Tagood and have performed on major stages as a live support member for the urban hardcore band "Wangan no Hitsuji," exploring new frontiers in my career.
