MALAKA by Yuima Enya
『MALAKA』はYuima Enyaの比類ない歌唱力と音による自由な空間表現が存分に詰め込まれている初のソロアルバム。
悲しさ、愛しさ、孤独、虚しさ、怒り。普通に生きていて起こる些細だがドラマティックな感情。歌を通してこれらを美しいものだと捉え、どんな困難や絶望にも救いが見出せるという強い想いを込めた1作
TAMTAMのyuthke（Gt.）をプロデューサーに迎え、aqubiやソロで活躍するピアニストのryo sugimoto、五日市扶（Ba. / Syn.）、奥村純平（Dr. / Beatmaking）、堀京太郎（Tr.）が参加。ミックス／マスタリングは幾何学模様の録音／ツアー・エンジニアも務める君島結（Tsubame Studio）が担当した。
