Description:

The long-awaited new album "Soar" will be released after 5 years! The new album surpasses the previous album "Gracia", which surprised listeners with its aggressive rock and one-of-a-kind vocals, led by "Black Rain". The album is a collection of finely composed songs, and Mari Hamada's unique vocals, which have evolved even further on her 27th album, make this latest album a must-listen. Hamada says, "Being conscious of the time in one's life gives one the energy to challenge one's own possibilities and keep going." She positively perceives "life and death" as the total theme of this album. The album title "Soar" expresses his belief that "thought and will" can transcend a person's lifetime. On the sound side, the album is supported by a group of renowned musicians who use their superb technical skills to support Hamada's songs. Over the years, Hamada has built up an international network of contacts and continues to produce albums, always aiming for world-class musical quality while maintaining his pride as a Japanese artist.Participating musicians are: Guitar: Michael Landau, Akira Takasaki, Michael Romeo, Chris Broderick, Takashi Masuzaki, ISAO; Bass: Leland Sklar, Billy Sheen, Philip Bynoe, BOH; Drums: Greg Bissonette, Marco Minneman, Hideki Harazawa Keyboards: Jeff Bova, Derek Sherinian, Masashi Nakao; Violins: Lili Haydn, Saori Hoshino.
