Singer Wakita Monari has a brand new album coming at the end of the month (stay tuned!), but first here's a 7" cut of two songs from it! Title track "A la Espadrille" (Japanese title "Espadrille de tsukamaete") is a first collaboration with Dorian who produced and wrote the music, and Hitomitoi who contributed the lyrics! B-side "Friend In Need" is a funky song produced by Arai Toshiya (Count Joke). Artwork by Sally Kubota.
It has been said that the mix of "A la Espadrille" is slightly different than the one from upcoming 3rd album "Right Here" (to be released July 31).
Several free in-store events will be held during release week: on July 9 from 19:30 at HMV & Books Shibuya, on July 10 from 19:30 at HMV record shop Shinjuku Alta, on July 13 from 15:00 at HMV record shop Coppice Kichijōji, on July 14 from 16:00 at HMV record shop Shibuya, and the same day from 19:30 at Tower Records Kinshichō.
