Hello, everybody

About 2 months ago the schedule of Natsuki Yoshikawa, our local female jazz vocalist was adjusted, I recorded 3 songs with her vocal.
This is the third post of those 3 songs, which is the human vocal version of my song that I have posted here before with vocaloid.
This is a song of a broken-hearted guy though a female vocalist sings it.
Comments encouraged.
Have at it.

Best Regards.

Shigeki Adachi

Title: 恋する乙女 (Translation: A Girl in Love)
Vocal: Natsuki Yoshikawa, our local female jazz vocalist
Accompanied with rhythm section, piano and string quartet.

Summary of lyrics

Please don’t become beautiful any more than now
Please don’t change your style
Giving preference to somebody who is unfamiliar

People say the young girl in love becomes beautiful
Absolutely you become beautiful day by day
I notice it clearly

Who is the guy reflected in the depths of your eyes?
I understand it is not me more than enough

I heard the rumor of that guy
You foolishly become beautiful day by day for him
I am very sad to know the truth

After all I love you in spite of that he is your most favorite
I am attracted to you more than before day by day

I always remind myself to pray for your happiness
But I am relieved to see you with a dark expression
I must be worse than a beast

Please don’t become more beautiful tomorrow than today than yesterday
Please don’t attract me any more

Shigeki Adachi,

This is beautifully done in all regards.

Natsuki Yoshikawa's vocal is wonderful. The arrangement is just as it should be - highlighting the vocal at every turn. Excellent mix.

Piano and strings are excellent.

A delightful listen.

I love hearing your songs with live vocals. The songs are beautiful and the deserve the great delivery a live vocalist can bring. This is just wonderful!! You write very sophisticated music. It reminds me of Andrew Lloyd Webber or someone like that-beautiful soaring melodies and great orchestration. Fantastic!!! Take care. Greg
