Jun Parker’s style is distinctively retro, a kind of soulful funky groove that somehow has melancholic tonalities embedded within it. The Australian singer-songwriter’s style of indie pop music is strongly influenced by the genre of City Pop, a style of music that flourished in Japan in the 70’s and 80’s. It’s nostalgic, but with a spring in its step and funk in its beat. The bilingual lyricism and combining elements from Tokyo with Australia, he’s created a delectably melodic mixture of geographies, emotions, and genres. It’s a dreamy piece, the kind you’ll be floating throughout. Within it, there’s an emotional core that’s brought to life through a sumptuous guitar solo, evocative vocals, and an altogether groovy beat.
