Emi Fujita

Emi Fujita is a relatively unknown Japanese songstress whose previously released albums include Camomile (2001) and Camomile Blend (2003). Her renditions of a number of English classics in her latest album, the Camomile Classics (2006), totally mesmerised my ear buds. Of the Easy-Listening genre, ...

... the songs in Camomile Classics are soothing and could easily put one to sleep. I had created a playlist titled "KK Go To Sleep" made up of most songs in Camomile Classics for my MP3 player. Going to sleep had never been the same!

Following are the songs in the album Camomile (2001) in which you could download by clicking the links next to the titles (a choice of MP3 or WMA format). Do sample this album! I copied the Camomile Blend (2006) from someone, so if you're interested go find it yourself scroll down to download :)

[Update]
Holy fcuks! I just listened to some of the songs from Camomile (2001) downloaded from the links above. The vocal performance just sucks compared to the latest Camomile Classic (2006). The Japanese slang was so damn heavy she sounded retarded at some certain pitches. She had seriously improved over the few years, Camomile Classics is so much an aural pleasure! Listening to Camomile in bed could give you nightmares! Eerie!

Alright, found you guys the entire Camomile Classics 2006 for download (ain't I nice!). Released last year, I must say this could be the best English album by any Asian vocals. Her voice is refined and Jap slang was still there but tolerable, compared to Camomile. So here it goes:

2. Melody Fair - [Download MP3]
3. All My Loving - [Download MP3]

And here's the 2003 album, Camomile Blend. I haven't downloaded any from this album, so sample at your own risk. The quality shouldn't be as horrible as her first English (Camomile) album I guess. If you wanna experience the transition on how Emi Fujita had evolved as a total-Jap-slang English-singing cock-up to her soothing mellow renditions in Camomile Classics, this is the album to download:
