Kumo ni Notte

“Kumo ni Notte” shows Yoshiko Takahashi working in a relaxed nineties pop setting, her clear vocal carrying the melody with an easy sense of lift. The arrangement is smooth and uncluttered, leaving the song's lightness intact.

Coupled with “Champ,” the release balances two contrasting faces of the same singer. The bright sleeve suits music that feels direct, mobile and refreshingly free of excess.
