Discord-discoTomei
A sophisticated track where a subtly ominous, bewitching melody dances atop glittering disco sounds.
It’s a work by singer-songwriter Tomei, who drew attention after being chosen as the lead vocalist for the theme song of the film Suzume.
The song seems to explore feelings of alienation and the unbridgeable distance from others, running counter to the euphoria of a glamorous scene.
The whispery, languid vocals, paired with a cool groove, create a delicious sense of dissonance.
Released in October 2023, the piece is also known for being produced by RADWIMPS’ Yojiro Noda, following Tomei’s debut single.
A gem of dark pop that fits both solitary nights of musical immersion and moments when you want to set a slightly more sophisticated mood.
