After taking a year to revise her sonic direction, Qrion makes a return in 2024 with a string of solo material that feels euphoric and uplifting.

If you're just discovering the work of Japan-born, U.S.-based Qrion, I highly recommend reading the inspiring interview we published with her last year. The new release "Ice Palace" showcases her sonic evolution, delving into the depths of melodic house while being embellished with her signature style and infused with feelings of optimism. It's the lead synths that breathe life into this gem, especially when they're paired with lush pads and catchy vocal samples towards the second half. This is hands down one of my favorite works from her next to her 2021 classic "Proud".
