New single “WOKE UP EARLY” from Japanese American singer/songwriter Lisa Remar. The track is a hyper-pop driven r&b song about feeling ready to love and be loved again after self-reflection in isolation. The music sounds nostalgic and reminiscent to Mgmt, Ratat and other artists from the New Age NYC era paired with a 90s vocal resembling the softness of Mariah Carey’s falsetto with the power of Alicia Keys’s voice.
Lisa Remar psychedelic soundscape threads through most of her tracks and revels in tinges of melancholia, sentimentality and emotional vulnerability. Her music has received praise from the likes of Rolling Stone, Billboard, MTV and more.
