Nao Yoshioka & Blue Lab Beats [2023] - Stuck Wit U [Sweet Soul Records]

Neo soul singer Nao Yoshioka from Osaka, Japan, debuted in 2012 with a single "Make The Change" which then featured on her debut album "The Light" released the following year. She has now released four albums to date, plus a live album with Brian Owens.

Her latest single, "Stuck Wit U", (posted from promo earlier this week) is out today (12 May '23) in collaboration with Blue Lab Beats. This collaboration has been quite a few years in the making as they met back in 2017 when she was a guest for a Mamas Gun gig at London's Jazz Cafe. 

Blue Lab Beats released a remix of her song "Loyalty" in 2020 and in 2022, whilst on her European tour, they played a session together at Blue Lab Beat's studio and she featured as a guest on stage with them at their Blue Note Place performance in Japan.

We are told that she has another single scheduled for next month ahead of several gigs at the Java Jazz Festival in June, London's Jazz Cafe and TivoliVredenburg, Den Haag, NL in July with another single scheduled for September.

Nao Yoshioka [2022] - Tokyo 2020 (Kaidi Tatham Remix) [Sweet Soul Records]

At the end of April Japanese singer  Nao Yoshioka, (now living in New York) released "Tokyo 2020" and today a Kaidi Tahthum Remix, which also extends the original by almost two minutes from 4:11 to 6:02, of it is released.

She released an album "Undeniable" in 2020 but, owing to the pandemic, her plans to tour to promote the album were quashed so instead she re-recorded four of the album tracks with Philly Soul Sessions remixes and added another two new songs and released them as six track EP "Philly Soul Sessions" on 20 Aug 2021.

Two of the tracks "Liberation" and "Got Me" have already been pre-released (and posted) as singles.

Nao Yoshioka [2022] - Tokyo 2020 [Sweet Soul Records]

A single released last week (22 Apr 2022) which I missed which has been picked up on in both Global  Soul and UK Soul Chart breakers this week (how often does that ever happen?), so I had better post it. It's from NYC based, Japanese artist Nao Yoshioka with an oddly titled "Tokyo 2020" presumably referring to the postponed 2020 Olympic Games due to Covid 19. She has been active since 2011 and has four studio and one live album under her belt.
