Music Corner Week 99: Harumi

Harumi, who first made her debut in 2013, is a half Japanese and Filipino vocalist who looks to break out in the industry by becoming an artist who “sings from the bottom of her heart.”  With just one listen you can tell that she has that “it” factor to stand out vocally from the rest. Like our former music corner alum, Beverly, Harumi had originally started with a Japanese language barrier, but soon grew into an artist who had that soul feeling to her vocals. Harumi started choir when she was three years old and made a place in the industry by taking part in X Factor Okinawa Japan back in 2013 as well as in 2018 as a part of the UK edition of X Factor as well. 

After one listen you can just tell that she’s a step above the rest with her powerful vocals and range. Songs like “KOE” and “PRIDE” are just a small sample of her vocal prowess, and while several of her tracks are simplistic, composition wise, it’s all to put her vocal power on the front stage. Power-ballad style compositions like “Believe in Myself” and “Hearts Don’t Lie” also brings out the best in her, as you can’t help but get drawn into these tracks more and more. She’s also no one trick pony as her collaboration track “Radio” with Rude-a shows she can tackle any type of composition that can come her way with ease.

Currently Harumi has seven singles from 2018 until her latest single, “KOE,” back in November. She also released two EPs in 2019 and 2020 and one album, CLARITY, in 2019. Be sure to check out her official website, Twitter, and Instagram, along with the music video for “KOE” below as well!
