On a winter night, while the world accelerates, two people slow-dance-their steps falling into the same rhythm. Xinyi Kamiya's new single "Slow Sway" is a winter night tune in lo-fi R&B × alt-pop. A slow groove with a half-time feel around 133 BPM (actual ~66 BPM) layers whisper-soft vocals, gentle synths, and a film-grain texture, quietly warming the heart in the cold air. Amid urban imagery-the sheen of wet neon and the ferris wheel's afterglow-the song tenderly gathers unhurried time and small intimacies. The beat is restrained, the space generous; it bottles the feeling of a chest warming just a little in the winter night.
Resonant echoes that lean into urban solitude - the rising star with layered roots, Xinyi Kamiya Born to a Japanese father and a Taiwanese mother, Xinyi Kamiya is a trilingual artist fluent in Japanese, English, and Chinese. Influenced by her father, who worked as a DJ, she grew up breathing in 1990s Black music from an early age, absorbing it as naturally as air. This rich musical background infuses contemporary urban sounds with deep grooves and a sense of nostalgia. Based in Tokyo, the driving force behind her music has always been "urban loneliness" and a "yearning for connection." Beneath the glittering noise of the city lies an unspoken solitude and emptiness - feelings that her voice quietly yet powerfully slips into, filling the cracks of the heart. Her greatest hallmark is the contrast between a breath-like, delicate whisper voice and emotionally explosive, soaring passages. In the stillness of midnight, her voice gently accompanies the listener, offering a warmth that keeps loneliness from turning into isolation. Wrapped in melancholy and nostalgia, her music transcends language barriers, coloring the nights of people living in the modern world.
