AmPm Suits with Uru with Latest Release!

Uru

The masked production duo AmPm who found global success with their debut single “Best Part of Us feat. Michael Kaneko” in 2017, have produced a song for Japanese female singer Uru. The new song, “I don’t suit you (Produced by AmPm)”, is available August 25 across all digital music streaming platforms.

This song is featured on Uru’s 11th single, “Love Song”. “I don’t suit you” is an ethereal dance track that depicts the end of a love affair, written and composed by Uru and produced by AmPm.

Meanwhile, the title track, “Love Song”, is a unique song that tells of the hardships many of us face as we commit to love, the gradual accumulation of love in our hearts, and the irreplaceable time we spend with that special someone. It is currently featured as the theme song to the popular TV series My Fair Prince.

Comment from AmPm

“For the arrangement of this song, we wanted to showcase Uru’s lustrous and cool singing voice and her melancholy lyrics, and present them through the filter of AmPm’s own style. While the sound itself is essentially chill bass, Uru’s involvement made it an arrangement with plenty of emotion. The result is a song that fits in with AmPm’s sound perfectly.”

Message from Amanda Yang

“‘Everyday’ is about getting caught off guard and falling in love with someone. Being vulnerable is hard. So, I wanted to capture the moments when you realized that you were no longer just ‘casual’ with someone. The moments that showed it grew into something bigger. ‘Everyday’ is about finally letting your guard down and being open to loving someone without restrictions.”

Message from AmPm

“While we have always released tracks that include collaborations with guest vocalists, in 2021 we have also been releasing pure dance-music tracks without vocals. ‘Everyday’ is a combination of both of these approaches, and we think it works great. Above all, we think it is a simple and catchy summer tune, so we hope it will be an enjoyable soundtrack to your summer. It looks as though we are in for another summer of restrictions, but we hope you can turn up the volume a little, lift your spirits and have fun.”
