Nakashima Drafts Okuda, Mochida For New Album

Vocalist/actress Mika Nakashima is joined by Tamio Okuda, Kaori Mochida and Allen Toussaint on 'Yes', her fourth studio album. Due March 14, the set is her first since her side project Nana, which released its only album, 'End' in 2006.

'Yes' is already led by the singles 'Cry No More', 'All Hands Together', 'My Sugar Cat' and 'Mienai Hoshi', which was released during her stint on Nana. The 13-track set reportedly includes an alternate version of 'I Love You' and de-emphasizes her previous image for tracks with a more jazzy and gospel tone.

Among the contributors are producer Ryoji (Ketsumeishi), Tamio Okuda and Kaori Mochida, as well as songwriter/pianist Allen Toussaint.
