'Classic' marks a pivotal moment for FAVES, where he firmly defines his identity within the landscape of Japanese Neo-Soul / Alternative R&B.

The song was co-written with songwriter and producer Ryosuke Hosoi, and features guest bassist KOBY SHY, known for his work with Fujii Kaze.

Layered with choral arrangements honed since FAVES' university years and the organic pulse of KOBY SHY's live bass, the track brings even deeper nuance and weight to the Neo-Soul / Alternative R&B soundscape.

While working on his previous release 'Inspiration,' FAVES developed a growing sense of urgency about the future of Japan. With 'Classic,' he confronts that concern by returning to a core value of traditional Japanese aesthetics: harmony. The track's central theme is a call to recover and reawaken timeless values that lie dormant within us.

"That which is ancient, beautiful, and meant to be carried on eternally-
That's what I wanted to honor with the title 'Classic.'"

Artist Profile

FAVES
Born in 1991, FAVES is a Tokyo-based artist and singer-songwriter. Blending R&B, Soul, Jazz, Neo-Soul, and Alternative influences, FAVES weaves delicate vocal work with lyrics that highlight the beauty of the Japanese language. In 2024, together with collaborator Aveli, FAVES launched an independent label, connect Records, and continues to create music outside of the mainstream industry system. In 2020, FAVES was discovered by Shuichi Ikemori of DEEN and released the first mini album "Ivy" as part of the duo connect with Aveli. Since then, FAVES has performed on major stages alongside top-level Japanese vocalists, including providing backing vocals for Nariaki Obukuro's 2022 tour and supporting the renowned a cappella group TRY-TONE as their fourth member in 2024. FAVES' voice effortlessly spans rich lower tones to soaring high notes, and the rhythm and phrasing-strongly influenced by Black music-convey a sense of grounded groove and authenticity. Rooted in pride for having grown up in Japan, FAVES expresses a quiet yet powerful presence that reflects a uniquely Japanese identity within a global sound. Lyrically, FAVES explores deep, universal questions about the human condition, the meaning of life, and the nature of happiness. With a sincere, introspective gaze, their music invites listeners to reflect together-as equals-on what truly matters.
