Artist description Noriko - Keyboardist, vocalist, and composer all rolled into one beautifully petite but powerful new artist! Originally from the city of Kanazawa, Japan, this exotic musician displays her sensual vocals and versatile songwriting talent in her debut album, "Love Potions." Graduating from the Dick Grove School of Music in Los Angeles, Noriko fuses the smooth sounds of jazz with a touch of R&B and the trendy retro-vibe of lounge music. Her unique sound is reminiscent of Sade & Basia - warm vocals effortlessly delivering catchy jazz/pop melodies. Each track is enhanced by her own brand of improvisation on the keys combining impeccable technique & natural-born "feel." After performing with such artists as Sheila E., Luther Vandross, Quincy Jones, & the Temptations, it is now time to let Noriko’s captivating jazz sound cast you under her very own spell. Take a sip of "Love Potions" - check out the pulsing groove of "Dominos" or get intoxicated Latin style with "Tequila."
