Description:

Nao Yoshioka's major label debut album "Rising" includes two bonus tracks on this special edition! Nao Yoshioka, a talented singer who was one of the six finalists at the 40,000-person Gospel Festival in the U.S., has been performing and co-writing with artists from around the world under the slogan "Make the Change". Unlike "The Light," this album focuses on original songs, and Nao Yoshioka actively participates in the songwriting process. Grammy Award-winning writer Gordon Chambers, known for his work with Whitney Houston and Beyoncé, Dutch superstar Shirma Rouse, and up-and-coming American soul man Brian Owens participated in the production of the album. The band members include Aretha Franklin's current band members and Prince's exclusive trumpeter, all of whom provide strong backup for her singing voice. Finally, a major label debut album by a genuine Japanese artist who is active around the world is completed!
