Beautiful Boy (Side B)

Three years in the making, this pure and candid album tells the story of pregnancy and birth from the artist's own experience. The album's first half (Side A) has a folky acoustic sound, with Tadashi Hirosawa on guitar and Dan Cox(UK) as a mixing engineer. The second half (Side B) was co-produced by Hikaru Ishizaki, Tatsuya Kashima on bass, and the drums were recorded remotely from the UK by Matt Ingram (Laura Marling, Jake Bugg, Etc.). Mastering was done by LA-based Brian Lucey, who has worked with Elvis Costello, Liam Gallagher, Etc. This timeless album brings together a variety of musicians from across the globe, telling a personal yet universal story; a celebration of the gift of life.
