I don't have that much experience with jazz, but the mix of Kurena's singing both in Japanese and English with beautiful, groovy instrumentals just hit the spot for me.

Kurena Ishikawa's debut is a really solid, enjoyable jazz album that shows some serious potential. Her soft vocals are lovely and I really like her bass lines throughout this record. I also wasn't expecting 'Off The Wall' to be a stripped-back bass and vocal cover of the Michael Jackson classic. The album suffers a little from not being the most memorable but I can't really fault the quality of any of the performances.

Favourite Tracks: Sea Wasp, 500 Miles High*, Off The Wall
