It's easy to allow Suara's sweet, hushed tones and gently gliding melodies to define her. Debut album Yumeji (2006) typifies her skill for delightfully straightforward ballads—burnished by synths and strings—which led to widespread work on anime and game soundtracks. Yet her modest melodicism is just a starting point, beguiling listeners as she ventures into richer, complex compositions. Her flair for amping up the drama with thumping percussion and stratospheric orchestration is then revealed, as she couches a myriad of musical ideas among progressive structures and international influences.
