Hanabie. release a new track titled “Spicy Queen”
Hanabie. is celebrating their 10th anniversary year with the track “Spicy Queen”.
This track is a counterpart to the fan-favorite track “WE LOVE SWEETS”, built on their foundational hardcore sound.
It bursts with Hanabie.’s signature unpredictable developments and Yukina’s sharp shouts, resulting in an addictive new anthem!
Comments from the Band on the Track:
Vocalist Yukina:
The song “WE LOVE SWEETS,” which we released in 2021, has become a gateway track for listeners to discover our music. It’s a very meaningful track for us. As time has passed and we have matured, we thought, “Let’s make a spicy version of the song!” during our tour.
Inspired by the famous “Nashville Hot Chicken”, we decided to create this new rendition that features a spicy and stimulating musical progression. It also has an addictive quality that will make you want to ‘eat’ (listen to) the track on repeat!
Guitar and vocalist Matsuri:
This song was born during our U.S. tour from the sudden thought, “Let’s create a track that marks our 10th anniversary year.
It’s also the first track we crafted collaboratively as a band through constant discussions and was incredibly fun to make!!
We included plenty of moments for our fans to shout along with us, designing the track with the vision that all the parts will come together during a live performance. So, we hope you listen to it a lot and come join us at our live shows!
Bassist Hettsu:
To celebrate our 10th anniversary year, we created this song that captures the essence of HANABIE.!
It’s a track where everyone can shout together during the chorus and has parts that pay homage to our past songs. We feel it encapsulates the 10 years of HANABIE.!
Listen to it a lot and let’s sing this track together at our live shows!
Drummer Chika:
This song was created through discussions among us during our U.S. tour and marks the milestone for the band’s 10th anniversary year! My favorite drum phrase is in the second verse, where the rhythm alternates every measure between on-beat and off-beat! Aside from the drums, I also love Matsuri’s vocal slides at the beginning of the second verse! I hope everyone will shout along with us during the chorus when we perform at live shows.
