For your Listening Pleasure: Introducing Sonomi Tameoka (為岡そのみ)

I'm constantly looking for new Japanese singers to add to my music library, and recently I've been on an R&B kick! While looking at new music I came across a new album from a really talented singer. Her name is 為岡そのみ (Sonomi Tameoka) Have a listen


Sonomi started producing music at age 14!. Her early influences were, hip-hop, jazz and urban and it shows in her music. Her vocals definitely give me a Miho Fukuhara-vibe. Their tones and melisma have similar qualities, which I love. She does a lot of work with Jazztronik... Here is a live performance,


Her new album is called MOVIN' ON click the link if you want to buy this CD...


My personal favorite on her new album is a song called On and On
