Mellow Fellow

Description:

Following Thailand's Phum Vipulit and Singapore's Sobbes, Lirico / Imperiment's newest release in their Asia series is Mellow Fellow, a solo project by 22-year-old Filipino singer/songwriter Polo Reyes. His lo-fi, dreamy bedroom pop sound imbued with jazz and soul has been virally spreading on the Internet via YouTube and streaming, and he is a promising newcomer who is garnering a lot of attention. This deluxe special edition (CD version only in Japan) includes the album "Jazzie Robinson" released in 2017, plus 5 singles released since then. Jazzie Robinson," a song about the breakup with his beloved girlfriend with whom he spent his entire college years, is a work that serves as Mellow Fellow's business card, so to speak, as he continues to create personal sad songs. The nostalgic and melancholic retro sound of post-Mac DeMarco lo-fi indie with a sprinkling of jazz and soul is equal parts chaotic and bitter-sweet.
