A jazzy bit of city soul from Yoko Maeno – a singer who’s got a style that’s partly like some of her Japanese contemporaries, and partly in a breathier mode – maybe a bit in territory that’s like Jane Birkin and some other French singers of the 70s! The tunes have a nicely slinky vibe – arranged by Chikara Ueda, who uses just the right blend of keyboards and guitars next to warmer jazzier horns – including some great alto and soprano from Toshiyuki Honda, who you might know from fusion albums of his own.
