SAINT VOX is a special collaboration between Jade Valerie (originally from Sweetbox) and the famous Japanese violinist Miyamoto Emiri (宮本笑里).
SAINT stands for the purity and reverence they both have for music and VOX for the special fusion of Jade's vocal and Emiri's violin. This very unique duet was especially produced by Geo. Jade and Geo wanted to give this album a rebellious approach with a lot of edge, emotion, and attitude in the production and composition. Their first mission was to revolutionize famous songs in ....Japan.... with a new energy and perspective! Half of the 12 songs on the selftitled album are new original songs by Jade and Geo and the other half of the songs is based on famous Japanese songs of great Japanese composers:
"Don't Leave Me This way" is based on Ryuichi Sakamoto's "Energy Flow"
"Rocket Girl" is based again on Ryuichi Sakamoto, Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence
"It Won't Matter" is based on “Kaze No Tori Michi (Pathway of the winds)” by Jo Hisaishi from the anime film “MY NEIGHBOR TOTORO”
"Electric" is based on “Jyonetsu Tairiku”(Music: Taro Hakase) from the TV documentary program “JYONETSU TAIRIKU (Land of the Passion)”.
"Crashing Down" is based on “Princess Mononoke”(Music: Jo Hisaishi) from the anime film “PRINCESS MONONOKE"
“Killa” is based on “Saisho Kara Saigo Made" (From the Beginning to the End)” Music: Yu Hejung, O Sokujun) from the TV drama “WINTER SONATA”
The first single is going to be "Don't Leave Me This Way". Here on this website you can listen to an excerpt of this song. You can listen to the full track for the first time in October during Emiri's radio show "Classy Cafe" on J-Wave (every Sunday from 19:00 to 19:54). Check it out and enjoy!!
