Alfa [CD]

Akimi Morinaga - Alfa [CD]

Singer-songwriter Morinaga Akimi has already demonstrated her mature talent since the beginning of her career in 2018, and it took her a full seven years to release her first album.

The first place, that is why I named this album 'Alfa.' At the same time, he is also conscious of the label he greatly admires, ALFA MUSIC. The musicians who influenced him included Yumi Matsutoya (Arai), who was also a member of the label, as well as Donald Fagen and Marcos Valle. While showing glimpses of influences from new music, AOR, and Brazilian music, they also enthusiastically play neo-soul and recent funk sounds. Furthermore, the progressive developments continue relentlessly, surprising the listener. The band will be performed by Atsumi Yoshiro, a member of GUIRO who also works as a support bassist for cero, Kawai Hirotomo, the drummer for Yamafutatsu, and Oda Tomoyuki, the keyboardist for Super Climbing Club. The mastering by the highly acclaimed Moe Kazama (studio Chatri) is also outstanding. Tracks such as the mellow city soul M2 'Space Language of Love' and the cute yet academic M4 'Rainy Tracks' are popular among fans. Morinaga also does not forget to look at the project from the sidelines, seeing it as 'an expressive activity that continues the tradition of 'self-performing' and an archive for the future.' Alpha is emitted to the people living in this present day and to the people of the yet unseen future. Songlist 1. Mysterious Night 2. The Universal Language of Love 3. Alfa 4. Rain Tracks 5.
