mr. hong unveils stunning new album Perfect Days
Dive into the enchanting soundscape of San Franciscan lofi producer mr. hong, who released his latest masterpiece Perfect Days on August 23, 2024. The album is a vibrant sonic voyage inspired by Wim Wenders’ 2023 film of the same name.
mr. hong has carved an impressive path in his illustrious career so far. His music has been featured in high-profile campaigns for the NBA, Urban Outfitters and MAC Cosmetics, with NEST HQ hailing his music as “pure bliss.”
He is currently sitting at over a million streams on Spotify for his breathtaking single ‘one tiramisu to share’, and a staggering 2 million streams for ‘Bittersweet Chocolate’, making mr. hong a force within the lofi scene.
Perfect Days boasts eight meticulously crafted tracks, each a jewel in the crown. The album opens with the ethereal ‘komorebi’ , a soothing blend of delicate piano melodies, birds chirping and serene drums, culminating in a breathtaking violin flourish that leaves you in awe. The journey continues with ‘Breakfast at Ikea’, a delightful collaboration with fellow lofi maestro Kalaido. This track kicks off with a stunning vocal, the lively ambiance of a bustling café, and a feisty yawn that sets the stage for a groovy beat that’s bound to get the listener moving. The title track concludes the album, and features a blend of swoon worthy guitar chords, a glowing piano melody and resonant drums.
mr. hong shares; “I was very moved by Wim Wenders’ film, which I happened to see while visiting New York this past March. I feel like I’m starting the next chapter of my life. Last year, I got married. This year, I’m moving. My wife and I are planning to move to New York in October. I’ve lived in the San Francisco Bay Area for my entire life, and haven’t spent more than a month outside of my hometown. As we prepare for the change, I am scared yet excited for the unknown. ‘perfect days’ is a reminder to myself and my listeners to appreciate the little things in life, to embrace the change, and to be excited for the future. I hope you enjoy this project.”
Perfect Days stands out as a stunning work of art that brilliantly highlights mr. hong’s vision, passion and undeniable talent.
