Step back in time with Mark Hattori’s new single ‘yesterday’.
‘yesterday’ explores a more pop-centric side of the pop-punk genre with emo undertones. It works with quick bass and guitar, controlling the ups and downs in energy as the track moves on. The vocal melody makes things catchy and exciting, and the percussion also builds into a quick but controlled energy. When it comes to the vocals, Hattori wavers between softness and power smoothly. Overall, the dynamics keep things interesting throughout. Lyrically, this track strikes as a nostalgia anthem. It looks back on the exciting times of “yesterday” it begs to be taken back and recounts what seems like an exciting relationship. However, it’s also about not being able to take an objective lens on the past.
Mark Hattori is a San Jose, California-based singer and songwriter who released his debut single ‘yesterday’ on September 20, 2024. As a debut, it already shows influence for those who grew up with pop-punk music in the 2000s. It takes those tracks and dashes in a bit of modernity and was produced by Seth Goodwin. This release is a solid first jump into making music, so let’s stick around for its evolution.
