Music Notion

Words: A. Murray.

Cloud has never made music that begs for your attention. He builds it until you have no choice but to give it. Out now “Nobody’s Dreaming,” is a synth heavy rock track that opens quietly and then swallows you whole.

The harmonics stack, the atmosphere thickens, and before long you are somewhere else entirely. Anthemic without being obvious about it, emotionally loaded without spelling anything out, “Nobody’s Dreaming” is Cloud doing exactly what he does best, and doing it with more confidence than ever.

That confidence is earned. Cloud has racked up over 160,000 plays on Spotify, with 80% of his listeners coming from the United States, an impressive reach for a Japan based independent artist cutting through to one of the most competitive music markets on the planet. His track “Overdrive” alone has cleared 120,000 plays. Two of his songs have been broadcast on mainstream radio, his music has been covered in over 100 Western media outlets, and his studio work includes collaborations with fellow musicians Luis and Alex.
