Beginning in 2025, ZURI is a new singer-songwriter who unleashes creative prosperity. ZURI explores multiple sonic palettes across his themed tracks, drawing on Jpop, Jrock, math rock, jazz, and funk. No matter the inspiration, ZURI’s tracks always stand out as feel-good, catchy experiences that inspire the inescapable urge to dance.
By choice, ZURI chooses to keep his identity secret so the focus stays on the music. This decision allows you as a listener to close your eyes and get swept away into a new world.
ZURI’s latest single, Marionette, released July 16, delves deep into a jazz-inspired sound. Groovy rhythms flood the track from start to finish. The artistic layers of guitar and piano create a warm atmosphere that ZURI elevates with his infectious vocal melodies.
Another track by ZURI we’d like to recommend is Getsuei (月影). The track showcases a more heartfelt and emotional side of ZURI. In line with ZURI’s intention to focus attention on his music, Getsuei‘s minimalist music video displays a dream-like snowy landscape that supports the sentimental soundscape. The soft instrumentation gives the captivating lyrics their moment to shine, which is only enhanced by the catchy Jpop melodies.
The bass-heavy track CLOWN is the final track we’d like to cover to showcase ZURI’s versatility. In heavy contrast to Getsuei, CLOWN is a fever dream full of cut-up vocal lines and chaotic sound design that bombards you at every moment. Despite the chaos ensuing in the composition, ZURI never misses an opportunity to drop an addictive chorus.
