Austin-based Japanese producer Qrion (Momiji Tsukada) has unveiled her much-anticipated second album, We Are Always Under The Same Sky, out now via Anjunadeep.
This ten-track LP not only features standout singles like ‘Miyanosawa’ and ‘Hush My Heart’ featuring Josie Man but also highlights the emotional centerpiece, ‘Wayside,’ a stirring house production featuring Josie Man’s delicate vocals.
About the Album
We Are Always Under The Same Sky is a deeply personal reflection of Qrion’s journey through some of life’s most challenging moments. Speaking on the album’s release, Momiji shared, “This album represents my emotional transformation from hitting rock bottom to finding self-love and forgiveness. Every track holds a story, and I hope these songs resonate with listeners and offer a sense of connection.”
Key Tracks
- Wayside: Featuring Josie Man, this track delivers an emotional house vibe with heartfelt lyrics.
- Lean Into Light: A collaboration with pinkpirate that sets the tone for introspection and healing.
- Hush My Heart: Another Josie Man feature that combines gentle vocals with Qrion’s signature sound.
Inspiration Behind the Music
Qrion’s sophomore album follows her 2021 debut, I Hope It Lasts Forever, which was lauded by Forbes as “a masterful production.” With We Are Always Under The Same Sky, she delves into themes of loneliness, addiction, and resilience, inspired by her personal struggles and the passing of her father. Collaborations with vocalists like Josie Man and DIDI HAN, along with visual storytelling by animator Zee Yorke, create a multi-dimensional artistic experience.
Musical Evolution
Growing up in snowy Sapporo, Qrion’s musical roots were shaped by her pianist father’s jazz improvisations and her exposure to EDM’s explosive 2011 era. Her journey from uploading tracks on SoundCloud to playing shows in San Francisco is a testament to her unwavering dedication to music.
Global Praise and Recognition
The album has already garnered significant attention, with tracks receiving airtime on BBC Radio 1, KCRW, and SXM Chill. Publications like DJ Mag, Mixmag, and Billboard Dance have praised the record’s emotional depth and masterful production. Fashion magazine House of Solo featured Qrion in an eight-page spread, further spotlighting her unique artistic voice.
