The second song in the Luv(sic) series is like its predecessor featured in Hydeout Productions collection album. The song overall is about Shing02’s love for music. He revealed that he wrote Luv(sic)the song following the 9/11 attacks. The lyrical content promoting peace and love reflect this.
“While I was focusing on writing my Japanese album, Nujabes emailed me another track. It was a nice release from the task at hand and the vibe inspired me to write what I was feeling towards the world. the first line came naturally, “once again now…”
It wasn’t too commonplace to have a series in a rap song, but it felt it as only appropriate to title it as a sequel for a letter, as if I was writing someone that I had lost touch with. I recorded the vocals in Shibuya and DJ Dai Nasty come in for the cuts. Technically he was my first live DJ back in San Francisco. His rhythm is impeccable, we used an a cappella by Jah Earl form my previous Japanese album, among other samples.“
“For the cover I asked SYU, a young graffiti artist. His sister had emailed me out of the blue to introduce me to him. He was a quiet character, but his sensitive touch matched nicely with the song. The finished artwork (also the cover of this CD, which we rescanned to preserve the original tones) presented a unique look. He would go on to do more covers for Nujabes, and I believe that SYU started a lasting trend with water colors and feminine motifs for record covers.“
