New Ground

You are probably used to always seeing Nahokimama's name alongside her husband, the neo-soul guitarist Toshiki Soejima.

But the Japanese trumpeter/multi-instrumentalist embarks on a new journey, called Kyōdō (meaning "collaboration"). Her first solo-led project, a series of 3 EPs, will bring her together with different collaborators from across the globe. The 1st single from Part 1 is with Stereofox's long-time label friend, Tokyo producer Refeeld.

"New Ground" sees Naho's soft trumpet lines with Refeeld's signature warm keys, delicate guitars & soft lofi beats - for one of the coziest jazz lofi pieces you've heard. Stream/buy it here.
