Like many of her releases, singer/songwriter Priscilla Ahn’s new album is a Japan-only release. It consists of 10 songs that she wrote for Studio Ghibli’s 2014 animated film Omoide no Marnie.

Ninetails are a three piece band from Liverpool. As for what sort of band they are, well, that’s nearly impossible to say.

We recently unveiled the lyric video for Turkish singer/songwriter Emine Sari’s “Who Are You.” We were quite impressed with her unique blend of pop, jazz and swing.
