Loyalty

‘Loyalty’ is a fan’s favorite at Nao’s shows, reminding them of the feel of great 90s music. Written together with Kiah Victoria, who was recently recognized by Billie Eilish, and produced by Devin Morrison, Nao says this song is about her ultimate relationship goal. True respect for each other is not about winning or losing, giving or taking, but rejoicing in the other’s growth and success as if it’s your own.

Got Me

A grey area love song of mixed feelings - not all love and hate are black and white. The addiction of being together with another keeps you from leaving even if you’re deeply hurt, and you can’t muster up the courage to be alone.

I Love When

This song is a reflection of witnessing true love prevailing and that special feeling that cannot be denied. The song was written with true love in mind and all the associated emotions. From the goose bumps you get from the slight touch of their hand to being lost in their embrace, this song transports the listeners to that special place.
Nao says of “I Love When”... “Working with Musicman Ty was an extremely collaborative process. He pushed me creatively and was able to help me express the exact feelings I really wanted to express​”.

Make the Change

Nao Yoshioka序章の始まりを告げるアンセム。プロデューサーには三浦大知やEMI MARIAの曲を手がけるHIROYUKI　MATSUDAを迎え、SWEET SOUL RECORDSが今まで培ったレコーディングの技術を注ぎ込み完成した。 「世界にむけて活躍をしたい」と強く願いながらもNao Yoshiokaがライブで歌うサム・クックのChange Is Gonna Comeを聞いたときに、変革はくるものではなく、自ら働きかけて創り出すものというインスピレーションから生まれた楽曲。 作詞はニュージーランド出身Sacha Veeが手がける、海を越えて実現した国際的なプロジェクトになった。 ソウルが国境を越えて繋がり、多くの素晴らしいアーティスト達が認知を得て賞賛される時代を創るため、我々はこのMake the Changeで世界に訴えかける。

Spend My LiFE

1stアルバム『The Light』からのシングルカット曲。Brian Owensがプロデュース、作曲を手掛け、彼の得意とするレトロな風合い漂う1曲に仕上がっている。
