New York, NY (Top40 Charts) Incredibly beguiling" - Clash

"A lavish, soaring pop song" - DIY

Having lived in Japan and had a long stint signed to Sony, Rie Fu (pronounced Ree-ay Foo) is now returning with a new found sense of musical freedom.

The new video for 'Mirror' follows the life of a young girl seemingly alone in London. Rie describes it as: "A powerful story with a very intriguing ending, representing the spiritual existence and reflection of people close to us."

Rie's upcoming debut album 'Places', released March 15th see's Rie trace a new musical path, taking her electronic sound to a more organic, pastoral place, reflecting her move from the neon lights of Tokyo to a rural UK town.

The exploration of how her cultural surrounds have affected her music is something that has fascinated Rie to the point where she has written a dissertation on the subject: "From quirks of dialect to inside jokes to good old British cynicism and moaning about the weather, her studies in both music, philosophy and linguistics have highlighted that both music and language go far deeper than what is merely verbalised.

Japanese bands fail to sound like Oasis and Radiohead, even though they copy the riffs perfectly, because they haven't been utterly depressed under the grey skies of Britain"
