Koast channels intimate fantasy and blissful summertime romance on this new, afrobeat-tinged dance-pop track ‘Japan'  which dropped via Tunisian label BLOC C earlier this week.

Produced and recorded by Ratchopper at BlOC C’s studio, the smooth instrumental blends coastal african rhythms with warm, mellow, chords and distant melodic flourishes to provide the perfect accompaniment to Koast’s inimitable crooning and undeniably catchy vocal hooks.

The entire single is an incredibly polished affair, both instrumentally and lyrically, and it’s clear that Koast's keen eye towards rhyme and pop appeal show the beginnings of a songwriter truly coming into their own voice.
