DJ/producer unit YOSA & TAAR will release their latest single, "Lights feat. iri," featuring celebrated singer-songwriter iri, on July 23. The track is a euphoric dance anthem, built on a propulsive beat that perfectly complements iri's vocals—a sound that is at once delicate and powerful. Symbolized by the defining chorus lyric, "In an instant, this world shines with light," the song is crafted to cut through the chaos of daily life with a gentle, vivid brilliance, leaving the listener feeling uplifted and liberated.
As the second lead single from their forthcoming 2nd album in six years, Modern Disco Driver (scheduled for August), "Lights" arrives as an essential anthem poised to make the summer shine even brighter.
Furthermore, a release party has been confirmed for Friday, August 29, at Shibuya's iconic WOMB. The night will feature a special live set from YOSA & TAAR with guest vocalists, alongside a stacked lineup including residents from their own Modern Disco event series and special guests like Shinichi Osawa, Shokuhin Matsuri a.k.a.
