Ichiko Aoba - "Lullaby"

Photo by Kodai Kobayashi

Japanese artist Ichiko Aoba was only nineteen when she released her debut album in 2010. Besides her albums, she's also scored TV shows, films, and video games. Her latest single, "Lullaby," is as delicate as the title would suggest. Ethereal only begins to describe the song, which touches on jazz, folk, and classical. Everything in the song is gently played, and Aoba's vocals add to the gentleness of the song. "Lullaby" sounds simple, but after a few listens you realize that the simplicity is the song's secret. As sparse as it is, the song is quite lush and sneakily complex.

Ichiko Aoba says of her latest single:

“I composed a lullaby so creatures of all sizes might find tranquility in their sleep."

You can listen to "Lullaby" below. The single is out now via hermine and Psychic Hotline. For more on Ichiko Aoba, check out the artist's website. Upcoming tour dates are below the song.

  1. RECOVER STOLEN CRYPTO ASSETS-SYNACK HACKERS
    The last thing I expected to be able to do was recover a total of $ 57530 USDT lost in my account, but fortunately Synack Hackers, a special team of authorized hackers, came to my aid. I had to seek assistance from the team who were able to regain my account in a matter of 48 hours after it had been lost to an internet imposter who pretended to be a broker and had denied me access for more than a month. They provided amazing services and were a pleasure to work with. Should you require their assistance? Synack Hackers is reachable via [s y n a c k h a c k e r s @ p r o t o n (.) m e ]
