Music Corner Week 105: EINSHTEIN

EINSHTEIN is a male singer-songwriter and rapper from Osaka. He got his start in the industry at the young age of 14 when he found an interest in RAP music and in 2013 participated in the “4th High School RAP Championship”. He was the youngest participant for the championship as he shined and garnished much attention. In 2017, his digital EP “19’s MAP” attracted attention with the inclusion of the music video for “1210 - I Need You”, which hit over 500 million views on YouTube and became nominated for several awards. EINSHTEIN released his debut full length album, Letter in 2020 and has continued to gain support with his live performances, writing, and catchy modern music.

“Still in Love” is the first track I heard by EINSHTEIN and immediately went to look for it. I love the composition as it has the modern R&B fusion to it plus the lyrics are relatable and easy to sing-a-long too. The chorus is very catchy. “1210 - I Need You” is the song that was nominated him for several awards and its such an interesting track as is carries more of a hip-hop and reggae style. You can tell he is still trying to find his vocals, but the lyrics are quite good and the composition is very befitting. EINSHTEIN has some great slower tracks, such as “LIKE” and Ano hi no Kimi e” which show off his vocal range and make you want to hear more like it. His latest release, “Lucky” is a more mid tempo song that reminds me of “Still in Love” with its melody. I also love the cute lyrics, how his rap flows with his vocals. Despite the slight use of auto-tune in “Lucky”, EINSTEIN has the perfect composition that makes this track flow so well.

EINSHTEIN has one album, Letter (2020), one EP “19’s MAP”(2017), and fourteen digital singles. Check out EINSHTEIN’s official website, Twitter, Instagram, and his latest music video “Lucky” below!
