Yuma Hara Feat. Monique Marian [2022] - Stay With Me (Muro Edit) [P-Vine]

Taken for the album "Reality" released last May, the killer track "Stay With Me" featuring the vocals of  Monique Marian gets a Muro Edit and is released as a double single on 16 Mar 2022. The other song is a cover of Chaka Khan's 1984 hit "I Feel For You" which features FiJA from Tokyo on vocal duty.

It is also available on 7" vinyl released at the end of January in Japan but, for some reason, it doesn't seem to be available on Amazon (so no usual link on image)!

Yuma Hara Feat. Monique Marian [2021] - Stay With Me (Reality LP) [P-Vine]

Japanese multi-instrumentalist Yuma Hara was born into a musical family, his father is guitarist Tomoya Hara and his grandfather, Nobuo Hara, is leader of Sharps & Flats. He is yet another graduate of Boston's Berklee College of Music, but has now relocated to Tokyo.

'Stay With Me' is the lead single from his second album 'Reality' released 12 May 2021 on the respected Japanese P-Vine label, and a  very nice Jazz Funk infused track it is too set at around stepper pace. It features Monique Marian on vocals who was born in Jamaica but moved to Japan.

The final track featured in this week's Global Soul Essential 5. 'I like this one, I do'! ... or as D-Mac would say 'Get to know this one'!

I've only had a cursory skim through the album but it also sounds very good if you like your soul on the jazzy side. I'll probably post it later once I get through the singles.
