★Supervision and commentary: Kanazawa Toshikazu (Light Mellow)

The famous 80's A&M singer returns with a tear-jerking masterpiece! The exchange of sweet, sophisticated, exquisite melodies is a must-listen for Prefab Sprout fans!

"The wonderful rhythm of that time has started to play again. Ali Thomson, the artist behind "Take a Little Rhythm," has returned for the first time in about 40 years. And with the sudden appearance of this masterpiece, my heart just won't stop beating." -- Kanazawa Toshikazu

Ali Thomson, a Scottish singer-songwriter who released two albums from A&M Records in the early 80s and is known for the hit song "Take A Little Rhythm," has completed her third album in about 40 years! It's surprising that she's releasing a new album, but who would have thought that she would deliver such a masterpiece full of fresh hits! (tears of joy) The urbane and glamorous arrangements, the cool and sparkling mood that is also common in 80's neo-acoustic music, and the sweet and romantic beautiful melodies... Her singing voice has matured charmingly and has not deteriorated at all, and it's hard to believe that such a talent has been silent for 40 years. This is a must-listen not only for AOR fans, but also for fans of sophisticated UK pop such as Prefab Sprout and Andy Pollack!
