It’s been a little while since we’ve heard from Brisbane artist Akurei but he is making a triumphant return this week with a brand-new single called ‘smile ヾ( ˃ᴗ˂ )◞ • *✰’, which is a very sweet alternative-pop treat with its playful guitars, bouncing bass and Akurei’s super-slick vocal layers.
‘smile ヾ( ˃ᴗ˂ )◞ • *✰’ is being released via Sumoclic which Akurei co-owns with his good friend Golden Vessel / 1tbsp, and he’s also hinted at more new music coming our way very soon!
“‘smile ヾ( ˃ᴗ˂ )◞ • *✰’ is a reflection on the tendency we have (or I have at least) to buy new things when we’re not feeling great. The hook is juxtaposed with the verses about some time spent stateside in 2019 which was really wonderful. It’s also the first single from an upcoming release I’ll be sharing in the new year.” ~ Akurei
