Taiwanese soul artist Yufu released the two-track digital single “A Scorpio Affair / Theme Of The 8th House” on November 10. The release draws on his own zodiac sign, Scorpio, and the astrology culture of the 1960s and 1970s.
“A Scorpio Affair” combines horns and Latin percussion against a backdrop of boogaloo soul and Northern soul. Yufu says Northern soul events he attended in Kobe and Osaka inspired him to make the track.
The other track, “Theme Of The 8th House,” is an instrumental inspired by 1960s lounge music and Okinawan breakbeats. Hammond organ and vibraphone present the same theme through a different sound. Yufu is also scheduled to play his first solo show in Tokyo at Shimokitazawa BASEMENTBAR on November 21.
