HARU NEMURI to Release Collaboration EP with Frost Children

Singer-songwriter/rapper HARU NEMURI will release a collaboration EP titled Soul Kiss with American pop duo Frost Children on October 4th.

A sibling duo based in New York, Frost Children initially met HARU NEMURI on tour in 2021, and it was said that they experienced an "instant and surprising musical connection." They subsequently toured together and made plans to reunite in Berlin to record this project. The sessions, which were said to be initially quite open-ended and experimental, led to internet collaboration/co-writing and then the completion of the tracking in a series of sessions in Tokyo, and ultimately Lulu from Frost Children putting finishing touches on the tracks in their New York studio, while occasionally testing out works in progress in DJ sets. The EP is said to combine hardcore, EDM, pop, post-rock and indie and transcend borders, genres and preconceived notions.

A preceding single from the EP titled Daijoubu Desu was just released on digital platforms worldwide today. The track features scratches from A-Trak, a DJ who has worked with artists such as Kanye West. Links to download and stream the song on various music services are available here.

HARU NEMURI commented:

“There are times when people reassure me by saying 'It’s going to be ok,' when I am overwhelmed, drowning in anxiety and melancholy, when I am stuck in an unforeseeable reality, or when I am at a loss not knowing how to even handle my own soul. Though I deeply appreciate the kindness and the reassurance itself, there are still times when I feel like screaming, 'What's going to be okay!!!' (Though in reality, I never actually do that. Instead, I usually suppress all those emotions and with an awkward smile I would just say thank you.) Climate change, inequality, exploitation, discrimination, patriarchy, conspiracy theories, and with all the other various evil constructs created by humanity continue to hold sway in this trash-like world, we are not always ok (Daijoubu).”

As previously reported, HARU NEMURI will also be returning to the US this month. Her HARU NEMURI TOUR 2024 "Flee from the Sanctuary" will kick off in Seattle, Washington on September 28th. It will feature a total of six dates, the last of which will take place in Chicago, Illinois on October 15th. Tickets are available for purchase here.

A teaser for Daijoubu Desu can be viewed below, and the full music video for the song will premiere at 11:00pm (EST) tonight.
