From Irvine to Italy: A Global Collaboration Infused with Deep Emotion
Kazu Osumi Unveils Deeply Personal Single Fallen Stars
Emerging artist Kazu Osumi released Fallen Stars on November 1st, 2024, a dreamy and contemplative song that takes listeners on a journey through separation, longing, and the vivid world of dreams. Collaborating across continents with Italian producer Lorenzo Cosi, Kazu has crafted a lush soundscape that intertwines acoustic and modern production elements to create something truly special.
Kazu, known for her love of strings and orchestral influences, teamed up with cellist John Ott to add rich layers of depth to the composition. The track begins with a captivating guitar riff that Kazu originally conceived while learning the cello during her college days. This melody sets the tone for a piece that blends dreamlike atmosphere with poignant lyrics.
About "Fallen Stars"
Inspired by themes of loss and the dreamscapes that connect us, Fallen Stars serves as a musical exploration of finding meaning and comfort in a world where our loved ones are no longer physically present. The song reflects Kazu’s emotional journey following the passing of her mother in 2021 and her spiritual search for answers. As Kazu explains, “The sensory experiences we have in our dreams can be more vivid than reality, and that’s the landscape I wanted to paint with this track.”
The recording process was both unique and challenging, especially with the transcontinental collaboration between Kazu and Lorenzo Cosi. Vocal takes required meticulous attention, with Kazu recording her lower-register parts immediately after waking up to capture the sleepy, emotive quality needed for the song. “Working with Lorenzo, who has produced for artists like David Guetta and The Chainsmokers, brought a new level of polish while keeping the intimate, raw feeling I wanted,” Kazu shares.
Representing Asian American Voices
Kazu’s background as an Asian American artist adds another layer of significance to this release. She hopes to inspire and represent those who may not see themselves often in the music industry. “Growing up, there weren’t many Asian American artists I could look up to,” she reflects. “It’s important for me to contribute to that representation for future generations.”
Upcoming Projects and Goals
With Fallen Stars as the first glimpse into Kazu's artistic vision, she is working on new music that continues to push boundaries and explores universal themes. Fans can expect more deeply reflective and beautifully arranged pieces as Kazu carves out her unique space in the industry.
