Hatsumi Shibata / Old clothes / Tell me again (7 inch)

The Japanese soul queen Hatsumi Shibata, who has been re-evaluated in recent years by being featured in the Wamono Disc Guide and recording songs on the Light Mellow Compilation, released two albums in 1975, and the jazz-funk tune "Old Clothes". ” and the finest mid-mellow “Let me hear it again” are a must-have project for Japanese-style rare groove fans! The A-side "old clothes" recorded in the 1975 album "The Woman Who Sings the Blues" is an intense funk tune with a black performance arranged by Kuni Kawachi. The coolest Japanese funk song with fat drums and bouncing bass! The B-side "Let me hear it again" recorded in the other album "Singer Lady" released in the same year is a mid-mellow tune reminiscent of Roberta Flack and Syreeta! It is a masterpiece that invites you to a comfortable groove with vocals that are full of transparency and freshness peculiar to female singers of the new soul era, and refreshing backing with flute and vibraphone!
