Shihori’s career is already storied in many ways. Back in Japan, she has written over 100 songs for J-pop artists and TV anime shows and video games. Coming from a background being half-deaf and also dealing with Aspergers, her journey is all that much more impressive. Four years back, she took the plunge to try her luck in bringing her culture and sound from Japan into America. Now, based in LA, ‘Harmonizer’ sees her hitting new heights in the American market with her distinctive cultural J-Pop sound.
The free-flowing and ethereal piece of electronic pop is filled with characteristic vocal shifts, highs and lows, as well as an almost watery energy that has you floating in this sort of glistening electronic shimmer that keeps warping again and again into a soulful yet wonderfully contemporary style. A harmonic tune that blends cultures, sounds, and emotions, ‘Harmonizer’ is truly electric.
