Winter MagicNEW!Aogumo
A pop number that turns winter’s chill into an ally of love, leaving you with a sweet-and-sour feeling.

The endearing lyrics—about using the freezing season as an excuse to get closer to someone you like—pair perfectly with her clear, airy vocals and make your heart skip a beat.
Her previous work, “We Don’t Have a Title Yet,” drew major buzz mainly on social media, and here again her down-to-earth word choice shines.
You’ll likely be moved by the protagonist, who struggles with the frustration of not being able to express her feelings honestly, yet ultimately musters the courage to do so.
Give it a listen this winter.
