On her previous seven-inch singles, Japanese singer Nayutah has delivered material that sits somewhere between the smooth '80s soul of Sade, and the more organic, loose-limbed sound of turn-of-the '80s jazz-funk. On Ryuhei The Man's vocal edit of 'Kimiomitsukete', she explores the latter sound more than the former, with sweet, soulful choruses, stirring synth-strings and fluid jazz piano solos rising above a warming, pleasingly live-sounding groove. Turn to the flip for the 'Exclusive R&B Version', a rework that places the same gorgeous instrumentation and vocals around amore head-nodding, turn-of-the-90s R&B beat.
