Hiromi, the acclaimed pianist known for her genre-defying sound, has released her latest album, Sonicwonderland. This project marks a bold evolution in her musical journey, blending elements of jazz and funk with a fresh perspective. Featuring her new quartet, Sonicwonder, the album includes bassist Hadrien Feraud, drummer Gene Coye, and trumpet player Adam O'Ferrill.

Hiromi describes Sonicwonderland as a "new journey of adventure," born from vivid musical ideas that emerged in her imagination. She carefully selected each member of her ensemble, emphasizing the importance of chemistry and sound. The album's opening track, "Wanted," exemplifies this thoughtful assembly, showcasing each musician's role as they join in a dynamic interplay.

The project is a departure from her previous work, integrating more electronic elements through her use of synthesizers, while still drawing on her classical roots. Hiromi's creative process was influenced by her earlier collaborations during the pandemic, allowing her to explore new motifs and phrases.

Recorded quickly at Skywalker Sound, Sonicwonderland reflects the group's synergy, capturing the energy of their live performances. The album cover art, created by renowned artist Lou Beach, visually complements the music's innovative spirit.

As Hiromi continues to connect with both longtime fans and new listeners, Sonicwonderland stands as a testament to her ongoing evolution as one of jazz's most virtuosic and adventurous artists.
