Single / video ‘Let It Flow’ by Nao Yoshioka produced by Musicman Ty
Japan’s pride, Nao Yoshioka soars once more on new single “Let It Flow”, the lead single of her upcoming album.
“Let It Flow” is an uplifting slice of neo soul / R&B that is produced by New York’s Musicman Ty, known for his work with Alicia Keys and Snoop Dogg. As a protégé of Swizz Beatz, he has also crafted hits for Nao Yoshioka, such as “I Love When” and “Got Me”, achieving success on the U.S. Billboard charts.

The rhythmic and pleasant melody offers hope to those who have overcome the pandemic, encouraging a life with new values.
