“Reverie” by the Japanese-British outfit Re:O is a cinematic, dreamlike, and atmospheric single that—for lack of a better phrase—absolutely kicks ass. Drawing on elements of J-pop, alt-rock, and goth pop, it delivers exotic flair in abundance, heightened by the fact that it's sung in Japanese.
It’s an impressive undertaking from start to finish. Lead singer Rio Suyama delivers a stunning vocal performance, surrounded by soaring melodic guitar lines, inventive synth textures, and raw, driving rhythms. What stands out most is how seamlessly the band blends electronic elements with rock instrumentation. Their sound feels distinctly their own, and the use of Japanese adds yet another layer, making the listening experience all the more immersive and unique.
“Reverie” is a fantastic offering from Re:O—a treat for fans of hard rock and alternative rock alike. More, please.
