FIRE RED by Yokai Jem

I've been in love with Brazil for some reason my mind can't understand, but my soul doesn't need to. It's been my hope and journey to revive the culture of Brazil for an American audience, in all its intimacy, in all its beauty.

FIRE RED is an album loosely structured around the Pokémon game of the same name. Beginning at home, FIRE RED follows the story of our main character who learns to understand the true meaning of the hero's journey. By finding new feelings, learning the pain of heartbreak, and finally reconciling familiar frustrations with humanity, our hero displays what life consists of, with or without Pokemon.

An album of growth, intentionality, and most importantly encouragement. FIRE RED seeks to identify the non-dual nature of love within us all.

I want to thank you personally for reading along, and listening along.
I hope you found something in this album that spoke to you on a personal level, whether it be the nostalgic Pokémon references, or the philosophy. I've been making music for over a decade trying new things and learning about myself, and the genres that fall into and out of my head.
Every ounce if it is made with love and intention. Thank you for listening.
