HWIN Celebrates the Launch of 57 Records with His Debut Solo EP, Just Like A Flower, Featuring Four Captivating Tracks
Rewind a decade, and you’ll discover Johnny Hwin crafting mesmerizing electro-pop under the Cathedrals name. Now, he embarks on a new journey as a solo artist known as HWIN. His first offering from this venture, “Metropolis Heights,” was released in 2023 through Rose Avenue Records, and two years later, he introduces his breathtaking debut EP, Just Like A Flower.
Echoing the emotive soundscapes he created as Cathedrals, the HWIN project infuses deeper layers of intimacy. Just Like A Flower is a collection that captivates from the outset with tracks like “Love Is All I Need” and the infectious rhythm of “You’re Still On My Mind,” culminating in the soulful delivery of “I Will Release You” and the dance-ready vibe of “Without A Frame.”
This exquisite debut not only showcases HWIN’s artistry but also marks the inception of his new label, 57 Records. Founded within the nurturing 57 community he has fostered in New York City, the label aims to redefine artist development through a model that prioritizes audience engagement.
“In five years, I envision 57 as more than just a label releasing records; I want it to evolve into a self-sustaining creative ecosystem,” HWIN stated about the label’s vision. “A space where artists connect with their audience, where music fosters genuine human connections, and where the essence of underground authenticity and mainstream appeal coexist harmoniously.”
As HWIN continues to carve his path as a solo artist, he is poised to expand the 57 community further. This label represents just one facet of a larger vision, backed by a rapidly growing social media presence and intimate showcases in NYC featuring talents such as Barry Can’t Swim.
