Sonoko Inoue "Hokorobi" CD

The first album by the solitary singer-songwriter "Sonoko Inoue" who transcends eras from Showa to Reiwa!

Based on vintage style music such as folk, rock, blues, country and bluegrass, the band sings and weaves a unique worldview with lyrics that capture moments from everyday life from an original perspective!

Featuring only an exceptionally powerful vocal voice and simple guitar playing, the entire performance was recorded in one take, creating a tense atmosphere that seems to recreate a live performance!

Singer-songwriter Sonoko Inoue is gradually gaining attention for her original songs that condense and reduce a wide variety of elements, from stories derived from casual scenes of daily life, a unique worldview that weaves landscapes with unadorned words, and the vintage style of music that she was familiar with due to her parents' influence to the modern sounds that she has been exposed to herself. Her live performances, which are held anywhere, such as live houses, bars, restaurants, and corners of shopping streets, have a rare voice that stays in the ears of the listener, and sometimes gently touches someone's heart, and sometimes cuts sharply into something in front of you, and have earned the sympathy of many listeners of a wide range of generations. This first album, ``Hokorobi,'' features her songs recorded in one take with only vocals and guitar, and contains a performance full of tension that seems to recreate the live shows she holds every day. [Total of 9 songs / 56 minutes]
