Breath of Love

Beyond Freeform Jazz. A gem of a ballad album where Uyama Hiroto's romantic melodies lead emotionally and gently from the world of motion to the world of stillness.

It's been seven years since "Freeform Jazz" was released as a new frontier for Uyama Hiroto. And it's been 10 years since the initial release of "Freedom of the Son," and the story beyond has been carefully crafted and constructed over the long years.

Everything on earth cannot exist on its own. Light and shadow, yin and yang, and stillness and motion. Without motion there is no stillness, and on the flip side there is no motion without stillness.

If "Freeform Jazz" is the outer side of Uyama Hiroto's bursting emotions and energy into music and released, then this work "Breath of Love" is the opposite, a projection of his calm emotions and inner side.

This album was produced with a unified tone color used in all songs in order to express a certain atmosphere. He plays everything from the keyboards to the guitar, bass, and beats, as well as the S.SAX and T.SAX that he usually uses in live performances.

The participating artists include Substantial and J Soul, who are based in Virginia, USA, and who are his first collaboration with Hiroto Uyama on his title work, with whom he has performed and produced, as well as Marter, who showed off his wonderful singing voice in the project album ``magicnumber''. And COMA-CHI, who resonated with him on ``Freeform Jazz'' and released the Japan-themed album ``Japanoia'' as a collaboration, participated in this work under his other name as a singer, Reinaria, adding color to the songs.

There is no doubt that each song is melodic and romantic, but listening to the album as a whole creates a story, sometimes emotional, sometimes gentle, and somehow nostalgic, and the album expresses a calm and deep inner world that cannot be described in a single word, including the historical background and influences of the songs. Please experience the world of Hiroto Uyama's new album.

"Everything is mellow and gentle. Great for listening with a loved one, or even alone. Great for relaxing with a beautiful view outside or in the bedroom. Take your time and listen. ~Uyama Hiroto~"
