Ursula 1000 feat Yuuko Sings-Life Is So Beautiful
Ursula 1000’s fascination with Japan didn’t just stop with his love of Shibuya-kei and its massive influence on his sound DNA. City Pop, that sub-genre of Japanese music from the late 70s and into the 80s that blended synth pop, soft rock, boogie and jazz funk is something Ursula truly digs but never explored in his productions…until now. Japan’s Yuuko Sings, who Ursula discovered doing vocals for English art rock group Django Django, seemed like the perfect fit for this collaboration. She’s sang on tracks for anime soundtracks and J pop plus, she has a killer rap style to boot! Life Is So Beautiful is what emerged from this meeting of minds. Wrapped up in a bundle of bossa nova chords, tropical daytime nu disco beats and that timeless City Pop sheen, Ursula and Yuuko have concocted the perfect summer cocktail. All this song needs is a pineapple wedge and a parasol!
