Arche to make major debut from Pony Canyon, announces album release
Arche will make their major debut from Pony Canyon. They will release their new album "THE BLACK SHEEP OF THE FAMILY" on June 24.
Arche is an R&B singer-songwriter who has built a unique musical identity based on a vocal style influenced by hip-hop and neo-soul, with lyrics that explore the human psyche by leveraging the unique ambiguity of the Japanese language. "THE BLACK SHEEP OF THE FAMILY" is their major debut work and their second album under the name Arche, marking their first release in about a year since their 1st album, "sublimated." The album is scheduled to include tracks such as "Life," released last November; "do for love," the opening theme for the Kansai TV x FOD drama "Kao no nai Kanja -Sukuuka, Sabakuka-"; and "or (feat. Shuto)," which features guest artist Shuto. The Blu-ray included with the first-press edition will feature footage of all 14 songs from their 1st one-man live show, "the process of sublimation," held last year.
To commemorate the album's release, mini-live performances and autograph sessions will also be held at CD shops in Tokyo and Osaka. Starting from the album's arrival in stores on June 23, customers who purchase the album at participating locations will receive an event participation ticket on a first-come, first-served basis. As those who pre-order will be given priority, please check Arche's official website for details.
In August, Arche will hold one-man live shows in support of the album, titled "THE PATH OF THE BLACK SHEEP," at CONPASS in Osaka and LIQUIDROOM in Tokyo. A new key visual for the tour has also been released. Ticket Pia is currently accepting applications for its 7-Eleven web lottery advance reservation until 11:59 p.m. on May 6.
