After the pandemic isolation period and the success of Shingo’s album ‘Glow,’ he set forth to play many shows in Japan – performing with P.O.S, Marsh, Spencer Brown, Qrion, and countless incredible Japanese acts while also securing European festival slots like ADE and Tomorrowland. Then, he played sold-out shows for his American fans in Portland, Boston, San Francisco, and Seattle, selling out over a month in advance. After a long period of being alone, he found solace in these performances. Being able to tour again after the pandemic gave Shingo a renewed fondness and perspective on his fans and the shared moments experienced live. He sought to craft songs on ‘Solace’ that, when performed live, would create memories for the audience.
Featuring previous releases “Prism,” “Come Closer,” the second-most played song on SiriusXM Chill in 2023, and “Lifeforce” with Grammy-nominated producer BT, ‘Solace’ blends Shingo’s signature piano melodies with his stunning scenery-setting artistry reflecting many influences from time spent on the road with his fans. The 14 track package is elevated with emotive atmospheres and richly layered rhythms, delivering a cathartic journey evoking deep, meaningful sensations – hallmarks of Shingo’s ability to narrate life experiences through beautiful, melodic, organic, and progressive house records that touch more than just the ears of listeners. ‘Solace’ is joined by the title single with Monstercat Silk veteran Mango and singer-songwriter Nina Carr. “Solace” showcases Nina Carr’s ethereal vocals with lyrics that explore the uncertainty and risks of love, while also highlighting the passion and freedom that can emerge encouraging listeners to embrace comfort in vulnerability. Shingo also welcomes collaborations with fellow artists Jordin Post, LAR, Hausman, Stendahl, Misc.Inc, and Oliver River for an eclectic mix of cosmic textures and diverse musical perspectives that further expand the powerful range of ‘Solace.’
Shingo Nakamura shares, “This was my first time making music outside of Japan. I worked in studios and with artists in LA, Seattle, and with BT in DC. Blending Japanese and American styles and influences gives the album a global sonic journey. I would be happy if the album can accompany all of you as you travel and find solace in your own adventures.”
Fans can catch Shingo live at Audio in San Francisco on November 9th, and while he opens for SABAI at Stereo Live in Dallas, The Showbox in Seattle, and 45 East in Portland. He will be playing as direct support and a B2B with Le Youth in Salt Lake City on December 20th. Tickets are available for purchase here.
