José James x Shiina Ringo

A bonus track " 明日の人 (ashita no hito)" featuring Shiina Ringo will be on the Japanese release of the upcoming José James album "While You Were Sleeping". It's set for release on June 4th.

A preview of the track can be found at the bottom of this page:

The page said Shiina met James at one of his concerts through a mutual acquaintance. They both expressed an appreciation for each other's music, and decided to collaborate on a track together.

I believe SOIL & PIMP SESSIONS would be the mutual acquaintance in this case.

Anyway, they seem to have met a few times.

Well that certainly makes sense then.

This song sounds beautiful

Sounds a bit like Ringo and Ken Hirai. Very cool sounding. I'm looking forward to this one.

Nice song. Hope it's on Ukina 2.

This is super cool news.

I love his voice!

maybe I'll get the album. His collab with Just A Maestro was really slick.

Ordered this album (Jap version to get the Ringo song of course) because all the previews sound pretty great.

I see the US version has a vinyl pressing. Wonder if the bonus track will be on it.

hmmm? nobody posted yet?
