Someone Close

Some of the most important people in our lives are the ones we see every day - and somehow never truly see. Already Near is a bossa nova album about the quiet miracle of presence: the cup of tea left on the table, the hand beside yours, the laughter filling a room you almost walked out of. Across fifteen tracks, singer-songwriter asafuwari weaves a world of sunlight through curtains, rain-washed streets, and evening lamplight - all in celebration of the person who was always right there. Warm, intimate, and unhurried, this is music for opening your eyes to what you already have. Let these songs be the reminder you didn't know you needed.
