It’s time to feel the New Gravity with MIYAVI.
The Samurai Guitarist dropped his latest digital single New Gravity on Wednesday, August 18, along with the full tracklist and jacket art for his upcoming album Imaginary. The shocking artist photo makes the musician almost unrecognizable, sporting a fully shaved head “hairstyle” and face beneath an android-like digital texture.
The song New Gravity also blends the natural with the abstract. MIYAVI’s signature guitar playing is distorted so much it almost sounds like synth-pop, layered over fast-paced drums.
New Gravity will be the opening track on the genre-bending album, which includes collaborations with international singers like Kimbra from New Zealand, Kang Daniel from South Korea, and Troi Irons from the US. Imaginary will also feature two cover tracks, Smells Like Teen Spirit by Nirvana and Youth of the Nation by P.O.D.
You can stream New Gravity now on music platforms worldwide. MIYAVI’s 13th studio album Imaginary is set to drop on September 15. You can check out the full tracklist, and newly released artist photos below.
