Chara - Cocoon (2016) Hi-Res

Chara's first Kioon Music transfer album "Cocoon", which has been bustling with various media and summer festivals and is showing dizzying activities this year. "Alterna Girlfriend" released in June, "Planet", a tie-up song of Sony LCD TV Bravia released in August, and "Chouchou Musubi" released in October, which is the theme song of the animated movie "Fushi" for theaters. Contains a total of 3 single titles. Tie-ups are being decided one after another from the eight songs written for the other albums.

Chara's motivation to create is full of creativity, which continues to pursue unique musicality in the new frontier of Kioon Music. Based on the backbone of soul and funk, music from around the world such as US indie, UK rock, electronica, and techno is expressed by Chara's original interpretation. Just looking at her gorgeous participating musicians shows that her senses are constantly being updated.

All songs except one are composed by Chara himself. The title "Cocoon" literally means cocoon. The songs are often studded with words reminiscent of the title of the album, such as "thread," "tie," "connect," and "knit," and the concept can be felt throughout the album. Also, her growth as a vocalist cannot be overlooked. As she often says, "Voice evolves," she uses various techniques in this work as well. Also pay attention to the sometimes gentle and sometimes tricky chorus work with multiple layers of whisper voice, which is her greatest feature.
