Celebrating a 15-year anniversary since the debut in Japan, the UK-based singer/songwriter/painter Rie fu announces her crowning work, the album "PLACES". Inspired by a life in the suburban town in Surrey outside London, each song delivers the beauty of the seasons, nature, and the daily rituals of the UK life from a foreigner's perspective of subtle isolation, along with a soothing acoustic sound. The album was recorded at Urchin Studios (http://www.urchinstudios.co.uk/) with producer Dan Cox known for his authentic recordings with Laura Marling, Lianne La Havas and Thurston Moore, etc.
