A track fit for summer-yearning as autumn begins to take hold, “A Summer’s Dream” is an alluring new track from Kaori Mukai, an artist originally from Fukuoka, Japan. The track showcases a glistening city-pop feeling, with references to city lights and soulful key trickling converging with melodic vocals. The suave, jazz-pop vocals alternate cohesively between paced longing and escalating excitement, with the dazzling keys and guitar licks matching suit. In city-pop tradition, a hooky chorus resonates with memorable key-forward effervescence and polished guitar adornments. “A Summer’s Dream” is a melodic charmer throughout.
Mukai performs actively as a jazz/pop singer in both Jakarta, Indonesia and Tokyo, Japan.
