Haroumi Hosono has spent more than five decades moving between styles and ideas, from his work with Yellow Magic Orchestra and Happy End through a solo catalogue that has touched on exotica, electronic music, ambient sounds, country and pop. His influence continues to spread across generations, with artists including Mac DeMarco, Vampire Weekend and Harry Styles citing his work as a touchstone.
Yours Sincerely, his first collection of new material in over seven years, finds Hosono still driven by curiosity. Across a set of songs that drift between tender psych-folk and playful avant-pop, he reflects on memory, instinct and a wider sense of human connection. Centred around ideas of care and compassion, the album explores themes of maternal love and the unseen emotional forces that bind people together.
Rather than looking back, Hosono continues to push forward, embracing both his long musical history and whatever comes next.
