Sun / Moon by Philip Shibata
The Sun / Moon album is made up of 11 tracks, skilfully arranged songs to create a wide range of sound while still keeping the core strength of groove, guitars and vocals.
In terms of the genre, it’s mostly R&B with a wide range of music style (Neo-soul, city pop, j-pop, chill-hop, lo-fi) intentionally creating this experience of an ultimate playlist of good vibes and groove all throughout the entire album.
Sun / Moon symbolises the people, friends, hope, and faith, that kept Philip in the light from wandering lost in the dark nights. These tracks take the listeners into an intimate and honest journey of this Japanese-Canadian boy growing up, struggling, overcoming, and in the end “dancing the night away in the Sunset and in the Moonlight.” Sun / Moon
Produced by Jonathan Ogden and featuring artist like Montell Fish, Lauren Horii, and more.
