Singer/songwriter Yoko Galvin has created a sublime and compelling collection of stories that chronicle her move away from her native Japan and into a wonderfully eclectic world that shaped her view of love and relationships. Her journey takes her to cities in Europe and North America, where she ultimately meets the man of her dreams, with whom she has since create a beautiful family life in Canada. Far from a tale of submission by a woman to her man, the album is a story of a girl who releases herself from the oppressive traditional constraints on women of her native country and finds the strength to explore the world and find her true self.Calling on diverse influences with producer Demetrio Navarro, the music includes Flamenco, Gregorian chant, French, and beat-laden contemporary styles to paint the broad range of scenes in Yoko's stories. With most lyrics sung in Japanese, the songs remain authentic to the songwriter's vision. With two songs containing English lyrics, the non-Japanese speaking listener gains some insight into Yoko's lyrical flow.Also a well-known painter, Yoko created all the graphical imagery on the original CD sleeve and disc.Originally released in 1995 and digitally remastered in 2011.Written and performed by Yoko GalvinProduced and arranged by Demetrio Navarro
