SCANDAL successfully concluded their 5 month-long, 41-show (31 domestic venues plus international shows in 10 cities, 8 countries) solo world tour “SCANDAL WORLD TOUR 2015 'HELLO WORLD'” which started from January 2015. It has been 8 months since SCANDAL released their last single and after this year's tremendous success, they are all set to show off their newest single, “Stamp!”.
This new song was written by MAMI (guitar & vocals) during their world tour (both melody and lyrics); sound produced by Kenji Tamai of the agehasprings; and engineered by Tom Lord-Alge, a 3-time Grammy winning producer & engineer who is known for working with The Rolling Stones, Billy Joel, P!nk, Bon Jovi, Avril Lavigne etc. It is clear through this work that they have grown as an artist from the last world tour; and is conveyed in the new track's American pop-rock feeling.
