(TOKYO, JAPAN) -- Global rock phenomenon and "Samurai Guitarist", MIYAVI, has revealed details surrounding his upcoming new album Lost In Love out October 9 via Rise Records. The news, album artwork and track listing were unveiled on Billboard.com. With the announcement comes the release of the single "We Stay Up All Night" which is available to stream now on all platforms.
“This album represents a three-year journey of sonic exploration, where I allowed the creative process to lead the way,” says MIYAVI on the new album. “I intentionally took my time with this record, stepping outside my artistic comfort zone to push my boundaries and craft my best work. It's been a vulnerable place to be after so many years in the music industry, but I knew it was necessary.
I was fortunate to collaborate with a diverse group of artists whose influences have woven their way into the album, with MIYAVI’s signature guitar serving as the unifying thread. My life has always been split between Japan and the U.S., and that duality is deeply reflected in this album. Some tracks hit hard, while others are just pure fun, giving the record a split personality. Lost in Love is the culmination of a lifetime of experiences, encapsulating all the facets of who I am as MIYAVI.”
MIYAVI recently released the single and official visualizer for “Eat Eat Eat”, which is available to stream on all platforms: https://rr.lnk.to/EatEatEat.
"Eat Eat Eat" embodies animal instincts and androgyny, presenting a controlled chaos that is open to interpretation,” said MIYAVI on the single. “During the writing process, I was inspired by the archetype of antiheroes with multiple personalities, and I wanted to write a song that explores the duality of human nature, balancing rationality and impulsiveness. This theme runs throughout my new album, illustrating the conflict and coexistence of these contrasting human traits. Rather than confronting our varied psyches, we embrace them.”
