With a stage name like AATA, this singer-songwriter from Tokyo will find herself up high on the Labels list. Her real name hasn't been revealed on J-Wiki, but her genres are pop and hip-hop. She began music by taking up the acoustic guitar and songwriting during high school. She then became half of the duo Pandaful Life（ぱんだふるらいふ）before going solo in 2013.
AATA began releasing singles and albums in 2019 with her first album "Blue Moment" coming out in December of that year. One track was written and composed by Cunimondo Takiguchi（クニモンド瀧口）of the band Ryusenkei, "Tropical Playboy". I'd probably say that the song seems to be far more into the Neo-City Pop vein than hip-hop but then again, Takiguchi was the composer so the genre is a given. It's quite the fast-moving groovy tune with AATA's voice sounding like that of a 1970s Motown chanteuse along the lines of a Minnie Ripperton.
What is the instrument in the back ground is a metal drum or some kind of xylophone?
ReplyDeleteI think it's a steel pan drum.
