Good-bye, Angel (feat. TSUBAME)

maco marets, a rapper/poet born in Fukuoka Prefecture and currently based in Tokyo, celebrated the 8th anniversary of his CD debut this year (2024) with a series of releases centered on collaborations with singers such as Haruka Kumoi (Haruka tomiyuki), RiE MORRiS, Sala, Mashinomi, reina, etc. He has now released his first solo single in about a year, "Good-bye, Angel".

This single was produced and mixed by DJ/producer TSUBAME, a member of hip-hop group TOKYO HEALTH CLUB who has also produced songs for JUBEE, chelmico, MANON, and others. Warm guitar phrases, an up-tempo beat, and maco marets' languid vocals and poetry reading add up to a fresh approach to the song that combines an ennui mood with a sense of freshness.

The theme of the song, according to the singer, is "the face of an angel that people wear, and confronting its deception." The song's chorus repeats "goodbye, angel," and a long poetry reading part takes place in the latter half of the song.

Starting with this release, maco marets plans to release a series of singles and a new album, his eighth album, this winter. Please check out their future plans as well.
