Producer maeshima soshi has accumulated over 100 million combined plays across music streaming platforms and YouTube via his various production projects, while also actively releasing his own music that includes collaborations with singers and rappers from Japan and overseas. Recently he has worked with many artists from Asia and around the world, while increasing his activities overseas. Many of his tracks, including instrumentals, have received over a million plays each, fueling his rise in popularity among music fans.

Released on June 2, maeshima’s latest single ‘white dress’ features vocals by LIU KOI, a singer/producer who is attracting a strong fan base in Taiwan’s R&B rap scene. Building upon a six-year career as a dancer, LIU KOI began his music career after becoming involved in concert production for beloved Taiwanese singer-songwriter Jay Chou. He then went on to become a solo artist, taking on multiple roles on his releases – writing lyrics, composing music, arranging songs and even mixing. As an all-rounder, he has produced high quality, creative music that has earned great acclaim within the scene.

On ‘white dress’, maeshima’s trademark low-fi beats intersect with LIU KOI’s smoothly melodic vocals and lyrics sung in English, Taiwanese and Japanese. It is a melancholic song filled with yearning for that special someone.

The cover artwork was created by Lina Ichimiya, and features an illustration of a Mona Lisa-like woman painted in white and blending into a white background, echoing the themes of the song.
