“Drinking Again” is the irresistibly accessible latest single from Taichi Ro; the up and coming artist who will no doubt be responsible for introducing plenty of audiophiles to the realms of chilled modern J-Pop. From the very first verse, all your preconceptions of J-Pop will be shattered, and by the time you reach the chorus, you’ll be enamoured by the depth and magnetic potency of the melodies.
The globe-hopping artist, songwriter and producer clearly has a deft hand in curating contemporary rhythms which resonate with a vibrancy which I’m fairly certain won’t be matched by any other brand of guitar-led Indie Pop. The beat sits in perfect synergy with the vocals, and even if you are uni-lingual and can’t decipher the majority of the lyrics in Drinking Again, this has zero impact on how hard the cathartic track will hit.
