The artist’s unique sound feels almost transcendent in its euphoria.
Immersed within a diverse melting pot of cultures and influences, sakura is an artist who has formed a distinctively unique sound and style for herself, melding together genres and taking a fiercely independent approach to both music and life.
The artist’s new release is ‘skin’, a spacious track that feels both liberating and euphoric. Taking influence from genres like shoegaze, lofi bedroom pop, indie and emo, the track has an ethereal kind of quality to it that makes it feel almost transcendent in its dreamy, cinematic nature. The sheer atmosphere of the track is hard to put into words, feeling both all-encompassing and powerful while tranquil, and everything in between. It’s hard to put into words the emotion and mood that is conveyed throughout the track, but ‘skin’ is something that is feels meant to leave a poignant, lasting impression on you, even if you’re not completely sure why.
