Keep You Kimi (ft. Yukimi Nagano)
Artist Christoffer Berg, otherwise known as Hird, is a Swedish downtempo artist known for his seamless blend of jazz and electronic styles. His work is entirely his own - he does all of the instrumentation and production, with the addition of commonly-featured vocalist Yukimi Nagano. Keeping in the style of Moving On, Keep You Kimi is a masterfully crafted, thoroughly modern downtempo track.
The song opens with a smooth, softening beeping melody, which then opens to a percussive background. Yukimi Nagano's vocals, singing of night and the emotional play of love and uncertainty, begin and soulfully flow through the track, featuring prominently although not predominantly throughout the duration of the track. The percussive and electronic melodies and beats carry the song, and are the highlight of the track. Hird's effectiveness in combining electronic sound with smooth, jazzy percussion is brought to perfection in the track, never overdoing one element or the other. Around the fourth minute of the track, the words "It's alright" follow a slowing-down of the track's tempo, leading to the effective peak of the song in its last two minutes.
This song can be purchased at the iTunes Music Store.
