Qrion’s Debut Album ‘I Hope It Lasts Forever’

Qrion’s Debut Album: A Reflection on Life’s Transitions

Momiji Tsukada, known professionally as Qrion, has released her debut album, I Hope It Lasts Forever. Much of the album was written during quarantine, a period of reflection following her move from Sapporo, Japan to San Francisco, California.

Musical Inspiration from Personal Memories

Tsukada’s relocation sparked a deep connection to her past. The album draws inspiration from memories of her father, her family life in Japan, and cherished moments in Sapporo. She explains, “I believe that music frequently serves as a portal to reminisce about important events in our lives, and in this regard, ‘I Hope It Lasts Forever’ is a very personal and special album to me. My hope is that my music and this album will become a part of other people’s memories as well – something that they will be able to take with them into the future.”

Signature Sound and Industry Recognition

The album’s first single, “Your Love,” showcases Qrion’s signature bass lines, staccato plucks, and vocal samples, reminiscent of her earlier work. Her acclaimed discography has earned support from prominent figures in the electronic music scene, including DJs Danny Howard (BBC Radio 1) and Jason Bentley (KCRW), and producers TSHA, Moon Boots, Lane 8, The Aston Shuffle, 3LAU, and Gorgon City. Following performances alongside Above & Beyond, Porter Robinson, Deadmau5, and Tourist, Qrion will embark on a North American headline tour to promote the album.
