NEW MUSIC VIDEO OUT NOW
LISTEN/WATCH HERE
Since the single’s initial release in June via YouTube, “KAWASAKI” has raised over 11 million views, watch HERE. This new reworked version not only responds to fans requests for a recorded version but the addition of Big Sean has elevated it to a thrilling new dimension. The original energy, crafted from the rhythmic beats of Jersey club and the heavy bass lines of trap, remains intact, while Big Sean‘s unique sense of rhythm, melody, and sharp, lyrical rap have added a captivating depth that fully immerses listeners in the experience.
Accompanying the release, ONE OR EIGHT also dropped a fresh new music video featuring Big Sean, watch HERE. In the video, the boys showcase their dance moves guided by the roar of motorcycles, forming a “gathering” that transcends the absurdities and fears of reality. Featured is Karmi, an eight-tailed creature symbolizing ONE OR EIGHT’s deep desire and determination to break free from convention. As Karmi pulls the boys back into the real world, the fervor dissipates as if it were a mere illusion, yet the rhythm of rebellion continues to resonate within them. This visual work features a luxurious production team, including director Glenn Michael (The Weekend, Big Sean, The Chainsmokers) and editor Mykyta Bereg (Yeat, Tyla Yaweh).
On collaborating with ONE OR EIGHT Big Sean said, “I actually saw ONE OR EIGHT live at their performance they did in LA and ever since then I was like, okay, these guys are superstars for real, you know? So it just made sense when the opportunity came and I heard the song, I was like, oh, yes, let’s go. I think ONE OR EIGHT will definitely be successful. I wouldn’t be collaborating with them if I didn’t think so. I think they’ll be like superstars and I think they’re on the leading edge of J -pop and that whole scene.”
