City Pop
City pop is a genre originating from Japan in the late 1970s and experiencing resurgence in recent years, often characterized by its breezy, mellow sound that evokes the cosmopolitan and sophisticated atmosphere of urban life in the country. It combines elements of jazz, funk, disco, and R&B, creating a sound palette that is both nostalgic and contemporary. The melodies are often smooth and catchy, with a laid-back groove accentuated by electronic instruments and synthesizers. The works of artists like SPiCYSOL and LUCKY TAPES offer up-tempo beats and infectious hooks, whereas acts like YONA YONA WEEKENDERS bring a more relaxed, soulful vibe to the genre. City pop is both an homage to the past's romanticized city life and a modern soundtrack for the chic, urbane present, appealing to those who indulge in the elegance of refined leisure.
