LA-based rock artist Shunkan (Marina Sakimoto) shares ‘Prettier’ – another look into her forthcoming album Kamikaze Girl, out 6 May via Rite Field Records.
With a steady and hypnotic beat, ‘Prettier’ analyzes complex emotions that spiral into an explosion of raw guitars and vocals.
“Originally, ‘Prettier’ didn’t have a chorus like it does now, and Alex (Newport) really encouraged me to find a melody that would complement the rest of the song. I naturally gravitate toward writing bubblegum hooks, and I was worried it might become limiting—but I’ve learned to lean into my strengths while still feeling free to explore. ‘Prettier’ feels like an exposed nerve, but I hope it resonates with anyone else who feels like they don’t fit into conventions.”
