Collaborations between Japanese and Korean acts have change into extra widespread, and as a fan of each music markets it’s enjoyable to see the artists work together. ReawakeR is a giant one, bringing collectively anime theme queen LiSA and Stray Children’ ultra-popular Felix on the brand new OST for season two of Solo Leveling. Although the music has been obtainable for awhile now, in the present day sees the discharge of its music video.
Like TXT’s glorious Solo Leveling entry final 12 months, ReawakeR consists by prolific expertise Hiroyuki Sawano. He’s lengthy been certainly one of my favourite J-pop producers, nevertheless it seems like he’s being stretched a bit skinny these days. His sound is immediately recognizable and with a lot music flooding the market that energy threatens to flip right into a weak spot. All of his songs are beginning to sound the identical.
True to type, ReawakeR bounds alongside the dramatic percussion Sawano prefers, giving it a really cinematic high quality. This works effectively within the context of an anime and provides the monitor loads of momentum. It’s particularly efficient when paired with Felix’s aggressive verse, changing what may need in any other case been sluggish entice beats in a distinct association. LiSA sounds unbelievable as at all times and her voice contrasts Felix’s deeper tone in an interesting method. However when it comes right down to it, my ear will at all times be tuned towards melody and Sawano has a lot stronger melodies in his arsenal than those we discover right here.
