Music Corner Week 74: Vaundy
/Vaundy is a singer, songwriter, and producer who got his start in 2019 by posting his music on YouTube. His first single “Tokyo Flash” garnished music acclaim on social media within the first two months of its release, it hit over 1 million views while “Fuka-Koryoku” also hit over 1 million views in just a month! Not only does Vaundy create his own music, he also directs the visuals for his works such as music videos and artwork. Vaundy has a unique music style as he goes beyond the boundaries of genres. His lyrics and vocals both captivate listeners.
Vaundy’s debut single “Tokyo Flash” captured me with his smooth vocals that flow with the use of jazzy piano cords, the beat of the drums, and an illustrious guitar riff all combine and make for the perfect track. “Soramimi” drew me in with the opening keyboard then goes right into Vaundy showcasing his rap skills then flows right into his vocals. The back and forth between rap and vocals in “Soramimi” and the unique composition make it hard to pinpoint a style as Vaundy shows he can go beyond the genre. In his latest (solo) single, “Yuukai Sink”, Vaundy slows it down with a mid-tempo mellow track. The use of piano in “Yuukai Sink” mixed with Vaundy’s smooth vocals automatically pulled me in. The chorus of the track picks up but it still keeps that mid-tempo relaxed feeling.
Vaundy currently has one album titled Strobo, eight digital singles with his latest being “Yuukai Sink”, and a collaboration song with Aimer “Chiyuugi”. Check out Vaundy’s official website, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, and the music video for “Yuukai Sink” below!
