Michiko, the enigmatic London-based electro pop artist with roots in Australia,
Japan, Germany and the UK, released her debut album „Daydreamer“ in 2006, with
a smooth mix of lounge, electronic and pop. Her follow-up „No Place Like Home“
adds more elaborate flavours, upbeat sounds and a campy varnish to create a truly
delightful vibe. She certainly stays the compelling „City Siren“ she introduced us to
on her debut album but her well-written lyrics and her alluring vocals laid over a
cool trip-hop feel make her ready to reach out to a much bigger audience. „No Place
Like Home“ sounds like Sade and Goldfrapp hanging out with the producers of
Naked Music to create a very contemporary love album. Or as Michiko would humbly
put it: „It’s just the music I like and maybe you like, too.“
