Wallice releases her new single “Japan”, a stripped-back number that effortlessly puts her intimate vocals on display. A world away from her typical alt-pop, this single is a reflective moment in Wallice’s catalogue of tunes. A banger nonetheless, it’s nice to see this softer side to an artist that’s usually cemented in her genre.
“My father was born and raised in Tokyo and lived there until he was 27, and my mother lived there for a couple years in the 90s, so Japanese culture has heavily influenced my identity. I don’t know my father’s family in Japan at all. I’ve only met them once when I was little at my grandfather’s funeral, and since then my grandmother has passed. Recently my mother moved across the country from California to Georgia which has left me without that familial sense of home. This song explores where home is and why I am so drawn to Japan.”
