Tokyo's Coolest Sound

eli (aka Ellie, of Love Tambourines and girl it's U) has a solo album coming soon! Despite her 1996 solo album under the name Ellie ("Bitch In Zion"), this is her first as "eli" and she considers it a debut album. The songs are said to go from melodious pop to mellow R&B, very soul as goes her vocal style.

eli can be caught live in Tokyo on November 10 at Shibuya Spuma.

In promotion of the album, she will also perform these in-store live shows:
November 22 (Thursday) at HMV Shibuya, starts at 19:30
November 30 (Friday) at Tower Records Shibuya 1F, starts at 19:00
It's smart to buy the album where you plan to see the show.

Update (1/4): Since January 1st, eli has made 5 full tracks from this album available for free download at her MySpace. This is probably for a limited time, so hurry. You need a MySpace account to download.
