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.
A Tokyo-based singer, songwriter, and trackmaker, Xinyi Kamiya creates music that cuts through the noise with sharp sensitivity while holding deep emotion beneath the surface. Her sound blends elements of HIPHOP, electropop, and Y2K aesthetics, forming a cool yet emotional sonic palette. Having moved to Tokyo at the age of 14, her creative roots trace back to the urban loneliness and longing for connection she felt during that time. With a sharp instinct for the language of her generation, she writes lyrics that reflect the miscommunications through screens, memories left in devices, and the fragile reality hidden within digital anonymity. Switching seamlessly between English and Japanese, her words are carried by rhythmic flow and resonant sound, echoing the emotions and atmosphere of city life. Blurring the line between meaning and melody, her lyricism weaves poetry into beats, creating a distinct and immersive narrative world.
