Originally released by Trattoria, the record brings her whisper-soft vocal style together with French pop, indie pop and highly detailed studio production.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eKahimi Karie wrote much of the lyrical material herself, while Keigo Oyamada, Katerine, Tomoki Kanda, Gregori Czerkinsky and Bertrand Burgalat contributed music and arrangements.
