After enticing us with the beautiful and reverie-inducing \u2018Tower of Cloud<\/a>\u2019, vibraphone wizard, multi-percussionist, and composer Masayoshi Fujita<\/a> has unveiled today two celestial and delicate new singles, ‘Our Mother’s Lights’\u00a0 and ‘Valley’, lifted from his much anticipated upcoming album, Migratory<\/em>. ‘Our Mother’s Lights’ features composer, poet, vocalist and educator Moor Mother. “I love the creative work of Masayoshi”, she said. “To collaborate on such a beautiful composition is really exciting and I\u2019m honoured for the world to hear it.\u201d Fujita has also commented on the track:<\/p>\n

\n

“I didn\u2019t intend to add any vocals to ‘Our Mother\u2019s Lights’. But through some lovely encounters with Camae (Moor Mother), it just happened. And I’m glad that it did, because her voice and lyrics are so powerful and fit with the image of the song very well. She has just brought this song to another level.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Speaking about ‘Valley’, Fujita says:<\/p>\n

\n

“I had this bowed marimba phrase idea whilst I was scoring a film last year. When I made this song, I envisioned clouds crawling over mountains and valleys from the point of view of a bird.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Listen to both singles below and be sure to grab Migratory<\/em> when it’s out on September 6th through Erased Tapes<\/a>.<\/p>\n
