Izumi Kobayashi "Ik.I"

This Solo album by japanese pianist and composer "Mimi" Izumi Kobayashi features an intruiging mix of oriental and european influences. On "Days" Dutch singer Mathilde Santing melts her voice effortless into an overall ambience created by Holger, who keeps a careful balance between Mimi's impressive range of classical and contemporary styles and guest artists. A jewel in cross-cultural song writing and production.
