Review by Shayon Pal

A Son Of The Sun by Uyama Hiroto: A Chill, Genre-Bending Journey That Sticks With You If you’re into music that feels like a warm hug on a rainy day, A Son Of The Sun by Uyama Hiroto might just be your next favorite album. Released in 2008 under Hydeout Productions (you know, the legendary label run by Nujabes), this Japanese gem blends jazz, hip-hop, and electronic vibes with downtempo beats and jazzy undertones. It’s one of those albums where every track feels intentional, but some really hit differently. Let’s talk about “Vision Eyes” for a sec—it’s got this dreamy vibe that sneaks up on you. Golden Boy lays down smooth vocals over Hiroto’s lush production, and honestly? It’s the kind of song that makes you wanna stare out a window while sipping coffee or something equally cinematic. The piano chords are simple yet so evocative, and the beat has this understated bounce to it. Every time I hear it, I’m reminded why jazzy hip-hop will never go out of style. Then there’s “Fly Love Song,” especially the version featuring Pase Rock. This track is straight-up infectious—not in an obnoxious way, but more like how a good conversation flows effortlessly. Pase Rock adds this cool lyrical edge, and Hiroto’s arrangement gives off major sunset-at-the-beach energy. The saxophone solo near the end? Absolute chef’s kiss. It’s one of those tracks that stays stuck in your head—not because it’s annoying, but because it feels alive. The production across the album is tight, no surprise given Nujabes’ involvement as executive producer, mixer, and mastering wizard. Hiroto himself clearly put his heart into this project, blending genres seamlessly without ever losing focus. And props to FJD for the artwork; it perfectly matches the laid-back yet thoughtful mood of the music. One thing I love about A Son Of The Sun is how cohesive it feels despite having interludes scattered throughout. Tracks like “Port51 (Interlude)” and “Last Transit (Interlude)” give the album breathing room, making it feel less like a playlist and more like a story unfolding. Even though it clocks in at over an hour, it doesn’t drag—it invites you to stay awhile. Here’s the random thought that hit me after listening through: this album reminds me of those rare summer days when everything slows down. You don’t need to rush anywhere, and life feels… okay. Like, yeah, stuff might not be perfect, but hey, we’re still spinning on this big rock floating in space, right? Maybe that’s heavy for a review, but hey, that’s what Hiroto’s music does to you—it gets you thinking. So if you’re looking for something fresh but timeless, grab yourself a copy of A Son Of The Sun. Whether you’re zoning out, working, or just vibing, it’s got you covered. And who knows? Maybe it’ll make you appreciate sunsets a little more too.
