SUNNY ONLY 1, a singer and DJ who is also a member of the creative collective bala, released her new song Utopia on May 31.

Last year, the artist’s collaboration with Dongurizu no Mori on Dance like a monkey feat. Mori attracted plenty of attention from music lovers with their ears to the ground. The new electroclash trash includes quotes from Kagome, Kagome, a folk song and children’s game that everyone in Japan knows. The mysterious intro to the song along with this memorable and nostalgic phrase is followed by a spellbinding groove and powerful book that’s sure to pull listeners in. The music itself is also reminiscent of the cyberpunk ‘utopia ≒ dystopia’ view that many outsiders have of Japan.

SUNNY ONLY 1 has incorporated many different styles into her music, including hip-hop, post-punk, house, and techno. Her newest vibe comes through in Utopia, which was produced by Noah Ings, an up-and-coming producer from London who also produced last year’s singles so what? and WASH IT. Featuring electronic sounds reminiscent of the 00s, this new track from SUNNY ONLY 1 is a rare newcomer on the music scene in Japan that music lovers worldwide should experience.
