Started working as a music writer as a side job while employed at a record shop, and for over 18 years I’ve contributed to music magazines, disc guide books, mooks, and web media. As a writer my main field is Western music, but as a listener for over 35 years, I always try to keep my curiosity alive with the motto “I like what I like.” I have experience playing in bands, where I was a bassist who handled songwriting and composition. Instruments I’ve played include bass, guitar, and piano. I began studying English in my mid-40s and continue to do so today.

Hello My Old LoverDove Cameron

Dove Cameron, who rose to global stardom through Disney Channel dramas and musical films and has since cemented herself as a solo artist following the smash hit “Boyfriend,” released a track in November 2025 that is a serene, piano-centered ballad.

Rather than lingering on or accusing a former lover, its lyrics calmly chronicle the act of letting go and moving forward, and the minimalist sound—stripped of flashy beats—highlights her delicate vocal delivery.

Produced by Jason Evigan and Mark Schick, the track embodies a subtractive aesthetic that draws out every emotional nuance.

It’s a song that quietly stays by your side when you want to face the past on a still night or put your heart in order.
