By this point her whisper-soft vocal style and cosmopolitan approach to pop had become instantly recognisable, and the record expands that world through collaborations with writers and producers including Momus and Katerine.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe six-track mini-album moves freely between French pop, indie pop, Brazilian influence and the playful sophistication associated with Shibuya-kei. The title track was written by Momus and arranged by Oyamada, while Take It Easy My Brother Charlie draws on the Astrud Gilberto songbook.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eTwo tracks helped carry Kahimi Karie to a broader audience in Japan.
