The lyrics tell a story of desire, Risa's voice gliding over the notes with a precision that only a master can achieve.

Bill Withers' iconic song, "Ain't No Sunshine," gets the Kumon treatment, and the result is a symphony of color and harmony with a modern twist.

The song "Ka Nohona Pili Kai / Nada Sou-sou", originally cooked up in the Japanese — Okinawa language — by a group called "Begin", then revisited by a Hawaiian artist Keali'i Reichel gave Risa the idea to stir both versions together like a musical smoothie — you might call it a mash-up. In fact, Risa's version is reminiscent of a gentle ocean breeze, giving the album an exotic feel.
