'Sunset Girl' is the latest single from Japanese rock band, I Don't Like Mondays (known as IDLM). The track will be part of the band's upcoming EP 'FOCUS', celebrating their ten-year anniversary.
I Don't Like Monday's latest single, "Sunset Girl," captivates listeners with its cozy blend of the band's distinctive guitar riffs and gentle synths, serving as a musical farewell to the summer season. It reflects the band's ability to resonate with Western audiences through a mix of Japanese and English lyrics, and their sleek, polished style that will attract fans of bands like The 1975 and Maroon 5. With the band recently performing in festivals across Asia, it marks the emergence of more Japanese artists choosing to tour internationally and release their music across platforms outside of Japan. With the increasing availability of J-pop/rock songs on various streaming platforms, music enthusiasts now have an excellent opportunity to explore and discover new music that was previously restricted. One thing is certain: "I Don't Like Mondays" will be one of the bands leading this movement, and "Sunset Girl" is the perfect track to introduce new listeners to their discography.
