Tokyo-based creative girls group bala release their 4th single, LIKE THAT, on March 13.
The new song is a classic pop number that has already become one of the most popular songs in the group’s live repertoire. In LIKE THAT, MANON, SUNNY ONLY 1, and KANO perform a mic relay over a clear and catchy R&B tune reminiscent of late 90s/00s girl pop groups. Filled with the positive vibes created by the girls’ friendship, the song is uplifting and perfect for days when listeners need a pick-me-up. The lyrics for the hook, which empower the members to take a step toward what they love, were penned by singer-songwriter Lil’ Leise But Gold.
Since their debut last spring, bala has presented a unique musical style that blends current club music trends with J-POP. Top Japanese producers including Shinichi Osawa and Hidefumi Kenmochi have worked with the girls, as well as up-and-coming overseas producers Bodysync, a unit composed of Ryan Hemsworth and Giraffage. A year following their debut, bala’s long-awaited first EP is scheduled to be released this spring.
