Celebrating a 15-year anniversary since the debut in Japan, the UK-based singer/songwriter/painter Rie fu announces her crowning work, the album "PLACES". Inspired by a life in the suburban town in Surrey outside London, each song delivers the beauty of the seasons, nature, and the daily rituals of the UK life from a foreigner's perspective of subtle isolation, along with a soothing acoustic sound. The album was recorded at Urchin Studios (http://www.urchinstudios.co.uk/) with producer Dan Cox known for his authentic recordings with Laura Marling, Lianne La Havas and Thurston Moore, etc.
Rie fu (pronounced 'ree-ay' fu) Makes her debut in 2004, graduates Central St.Martins College of art and design in London in 2007, and UCL MSc Specialised Translation in 2018. With the unique lyrics mixing English/Japanese, soothing words and a sharp tongue, melodies inspired by 70's female singer songwriters such as Joni Mitchell and Carol King. Her mellifluous voice is deeply influenced by Karen Carpenter. As a painter and a linguist as well as a musician, her artwork could be seen on the record cover designs.
