Ginger Root
SHINBANGUMI
Ghostly International
Sep 18, 2024 Issue #73 - Maya Hawke and Nilüfer Yanya
Cameron Lew’s Ginger Root is more than a musician’s moniker—it’s a world unto itself, molded entirely by Lew’s deft imagination and extensive talents in both musical and visual artistry. On his new record, SHINBANGUMI, the Asian-American SoCal artist pulls from a veritable candy jar of influences: Japanese city pop, American disco, boogie, and more. As a result, the sound of Ginger Root is as bright and effervescent as a cold Ramune on a hot day.
But Lew avoids a too-sugary pastiche thanks to his sense of humor and expert production and songwriting. His melodies are infectious, his beats are funky; it will be stuck in your head for weeks, and you won’t mind a bit. (www.gingerrootmusic.com)
