Today, the widely acclaimed Austin-based producer Qrion (real name Momiji Tsukada) announced her second album, We Are Always Under The Same Sky, set for release on January 17th via Anjunadeep. This follows her 2021 debut album I Hope It Lasts Forever, which was praised by Forbes as “stunning” and “a masterful production.” Alongside the album news, Qrion released a new single, "Hush My Heart," featuring South-East London rising star Josie Man. The melodic house track blends Qrion’s emotive piano chords with arpeggio melodies and Josie Man’s soft vocals, anchored by energetic beats. Additional production is by Joseph Ashworth, known for his work with LP Giobbi, DJ Tennis, Carlita, and KDA.
Earlier this year, Qrion shared her single "Miyanosawa," named after a small town in her hometown of Sapporo, Japan. The multi-layered, emotional track will be part of the upcoming album, alongside "Hush My Heart" and "Ice Palace," another recently released song. This album marks a significant moment in Qrion's career, representing a rebirth and a new phase in her journey, with her debut album focused more on reflections of the past.
The theme of rebirth is deeply embedded in We Are Always Under The Same Sky, particularly as Qrion addresses her struggles with addiction and recovery after her father's passing. The album also celebrates female and non-binary South-East Asian talent, featuring collaborations with British-Kongese singer-songwriter Josie Man and Paris-based South Korean DJ, producer, and vocalist DIDI HAN. Qrion also teamed up with American-Chinese animator and designer Zee Yorke for all the accompanying album artwork.
