Shima Blurs Genre Boundaries with Electronic Fusion at Coachella's Do Lab Stage
Published on 4.21.25
The intersection of music and art has long been a fascinating space, with many artists pushing the boundaries of traditional forms to create immersive experiences for their audiences. In recent news, two notable examples have emerged in the realm of live performances.
Shima, a former Japanese pop-star turned DJ, made her debut at Coachella's Do Lab stage, blending electronica music with trap, hip-hop, house and techno beats, as well as Latin and Asian influences that reflect her mixed background. This fusion of styles is a testament to the evolving nature of art in the music industry.
Coldplay is set to perform a "Moon Music" pop-up at The Hyundai Seoul from Thursday as part of their "Music of the Spheres World Tour". Their collaboration with Twice on the song "We Pray", released as part of their latest album "Moon Music" in 2024, highlights the growing trend of cross-cultural collaborations in the music industry.
As Shima's performance at Coachella and Coldplay's "Moon Music" pop-up demonstrate, the boundaries between different genres and styles are becoming increasingly blurred, giving rise to new and exciting forms of artistic expression.
