Tainy Talks His Star-Studded Debut Album ‘Data,’ With Guests From Bad Bunny and Daddy Yankee to Skrillex
Thania Garcia The 1995 dystopic cyberpunk epic “Ghost in the Shell” follows Motoko Kusanagi, a cyborg with a technologically augmented human brain. Influential Japanese artist Hiromasa Ogura was behind the art direction for the cult classic – he also designed the cover art for producer Tainy’s full-length debut album “Data.” The anime is one of the Puerto Rican hitmaker’s favorites for its dark, moody aesthetics and for its message of individuality in a high-tech world. Leading up to “Data’s” release on Thursday, Tainy posted a series of stills that outlined the concept behind the 20-song album that features over 20 artists. Here’s just the tip of that iceberg: Bad Bunny, Daddy Yankee, Arca, Four Tet, Skrillex, J Balvin, Feid, Myke Towers, the Marias, Ozuna and Ratatat’s E.Vax.
