Neo-Soul Band HIPLICITY To Release New CD, "Little Sunflower".

Diverse NeoSoul Band Hiplicity Announces December New Music Release



Eclectic LA based Neo Soul band Hiplicity comprised of vocalist Maharasih, guitarist Yusuke Watanabe, Andrew VanVlear on keys, Shin Kawasaki on bass, and Masaki Yamashita on drums plan the much anticipated December release of new music "Little Sunflower." Influenced by Chaka Khan, Stevie Wonder, Alicia Keys, Bill Withers, John Mayer, Sting, and Sublime to name a few, the diverse LA area band will expand the availability of their unique mix of organic soul to those outside LA who have not been able to view their celebrated live performances.

The friends and band mates count Soul, Motown, Funk, R&B, Hip-Hop and Pop music as their favorite genres and influences, and will make their trademark sound available to a global audience with the release of "Little Sunflower, " named after influential Jazz artist Freddie Hubbard's 1979 classic. Most band members have a Jazz background with degrees from California Universities, and met as studio musicians covering top forty hits in Los Angeles. "Little Sunflower means young sunflower coming out from the ground strongly" says guitarist Yusuke Watanabe of delivering their unique brand of musical mixes to the worldwide stage.

The much anticipated "Little Sunflower" will include "Let Love, " featuring Harry Mack, with words and music by Maha, and Yusuke, "Tonight, " "Woulda, Shoulda, Coulda, " and "Hand to Hand, " with words and music by the multi-talented Yusuke and Maha.

Hiplicity would like to acknowledge everyone involved in helping the production of "Little Sunflower" with special thanks to Hiroaki and Kazuoko Watanabe, Tomoi Furude, Shingo Yugi, Jess Accetta, Rick Marshall, John Carruthers, Masa Sasaki. "Little Sunflower", arranged and produced by Hiplicity, was directed, mixed and mastered by Yusuke Watanabe and recorded by Tim More's MAS music production using Sound Kings Amp.
