Smooth city-pop to start the sultry season

 

 

City-pop is really popular in Japan. I like it too, I just didn’t know it was called city-pop. I always called it a mix of disco, funk and jazz-pop. The last good city-pop act I remember here in the West is Jamiroquai. In Japan there are several great acts, almost all consisting of decent looking, handsome young guys playing smooth, funky, jazzy music.

My favorite is the band Cero, elevating the genre to incredible heights with complicated melody lines and polyrhythmic percussion arrangements that work you to a musical orgasm.

This band is pretty nice too. I like the loopy beginning of the song, the slight melancholy and the friendly, summery feel of it all. Comes from this EP, brought out last year. Enjoy! (PB)
