“As soon as Jake and I first connected we realized that our workflows matched perfectly. I was instantly inspired by any melodic guitar ideas he sent over and my piano melodies would just flow effortlessly. It felt like no time until we had 8 finished tracks ready, it only felt natural to release an album together. The theme of the project is inspired by nostalgic times and new beginnings.”

THE RELEASE

Release Schedule: May 25th, 2022
Genres: Lofi

steezy prime and azayaka now combine their skills to deliver a truly enchanting lofi album, which can be described as nothing short of bliss. A new chapter represents their positive mindset, encapsulating hope for a brighter future.

Handpicking the softest of sounds, the producers selected the most pleasing elements and incorporated the most soothing melodies to surround the listener with sonic tranquillity. Warm and delicate, the first two singles to be dropped – “Beyond The Horizon” and “Wishful Thinking”, give a perfect taste of the mesmerizing atmosphere of the whole project. Gentle keys and warming guitar melodies are in the center of all eight compositions from the album. The drums are combined with distant mallets and extremely tingly ASMR-inspired percussive elements, providing for deep relaxation or melting away into the realm of dreams.

A new chapter sounds like some of the most peaceful and pleasing things put together – the beautiful golden light of the sunset, the freshness of the ocean breeze, and the warmth of the campfire – offering a sense of harmony and immense fulfillment to any listener.

“This album is a wonderful experiment by myself and my good friend steezy prime. We wanted to take lofi songs with both minimal and intimate production and imbue them with feelings of hope and warmth. It’s aptly titled ‘a new chapter’ to solidify our message of optimism both philosophically and creatively.”, shares Jake.
