Earlier this year, I introduced the band KAZZ:BA which included Mima Morioka（森岡みま）who had been the teen drummer and vocalist for the technopop band Cosmic Invention（コスミック・インベンション）. The song that I covered was "Itsumo"（いつも）from their July 1991 album "Cuarenta".
As "Itsumo" shows, KAZZ:BA was a whole different animal compared to Cosmic Invention. And even this other track from "Cuarenta", "Sweet Lies" distinguishes itself from "Itsumo". I think that there is still enough of a City Pop essence in there but I'm also picking up on some Latin funk and New Jack Swing rhythms. Yup, I'm getting all nostalgic for those 1990s once more.
