It's Wednesday...therefore, it's Hump Day and therefore, some or a lot of us might be feeling that last weekend was so long ago and this upcoming weekend is still too far away. Yep, I'm having some of those mid-week blues, so let's see if we can try something nice to begin today's edition of "Kayo Kyoku Plus".
Happily enough, I found this gorgeously-designed video for the song "Sunday, Monday" by artist magicHour. I've always been drawn to any images of futuristic cities. And there's quite a vibe from this January 2025 7th single "Sunday, Monday" (he debuted a year ago) with its feeling of technopop and funky soul. According to magicHour's site, the song is a heartwarming anthem that celebrates the power of love to make the everyday special. I'll just be grateful for this song to enliven my Wednesday after a heavy lunch of chicken salad sandwich and milk.
As for magicHour, his identity hasn't been revealed but he's apparently a young man in his early 20s which should narrow him down to a few million ("The Japan News" reports that as of January 1st 2023, there were only 1.17 million 20-year-old men in Japan). He's a multi-genre singer-songwriter and producer who grew up listening to 80s disco, funk and rock. Plus, he respects artists such as Michael Jackson, Queen, Louis Armstrong, lrving Berlin, and Quincy Jones. Dang, he's right up my alley!
Very smooth and easy-listening music! The video is a nice touch too! I like to listen to music with others, but there is something special about putting on your own headphones like the girl does in the video (especially when it is cold outside) and being in your own world or portable music studio.
ReplyDeleteYes, even with all of the tumult in the world today, it's still nice to be able to shut all that out with a pair of headphones and enjoy some peace and music. Of course, as long as you're not doing this while crossing the street.:)
