unvivid -- Break Free

 


I don't have a lot of information on this group unvivid except for these facts: 1) they have been around since at least 2022, 2) their vocalist is Shino Honma(ほんましの)and 3) they were once known as Mini Mikke before the name change.

Their single from just a couple of months ago, "Break Free", sounds mighty nice. In addition to that soulful groove, I can pick up on some blues and jazz. If unvivid had been a band back in the 1950s or 1960s playing this, they would have gotten their fair share of appreciative finger snaps in the beatnik clubs. The music video has a slightly tongue-in-cheek cooler-than-thou atmosphere which plays up the song. Mind you, Honma and company look like they could be advertising for a mixture of MUJI and Eddie Bauer for most of the video until they go all United Colors of Benetton at the end.
