Embracing Every Part of Yourself—Light and Shadow: The Present State of Soul Music, Where Talents from America, Europe, and Asia Resonate

After completing the world tour for her previous album, Flow, across 11 countries, Nao Yoshioka felt not a sense of accomplishment, but clarity. It was not the end, but a beginning. That realization became the starting point for self.

Having spent years pursuing the light, she turned toward her shadows, not to overcome her weaknesses, but to learn to love them. By embracing every part of herself, both hidden and shining, she found a new sense of freedom in her music.

Featuring artists from America, Europe, and Asia, including Bilal, Peter CottonTale, Jamila Woods, Devin Morrison, Sam Wills, Bnnyhunna, MXXWLL, and Mỹ Anh, self moves across soul, R&B, funk, Afrobeats, and house, united by Nao Yoshioka’s unmistakable voice.
