ShareTweet Calista Kazuko is obviously a multi-instrumentalist with many talents. But what you may not notice is the intricate, lucid detail with her music, as evident in her new video for the track titled ‘Come to Mama’. The song is almost transic in execution and hypnotic with that initial listen. With a beautiful voice and a penchant for the obscure, Calista is an artist you simply can’t help but listen to, then listen to again, in order to fully grasp the cinematic scope of the music. About Calista Kazuko A singer/songwriter and multi-instrumentalist known for cinematic genre-bending and controversial boundary-pushing, Calista studied classical/jazz piano and composition at London’s Royal Academy of Music, and has since been performing and winning fans across the world with her dynamic voice and captivating songs. She founded charity-based arts collective Voice of Aiko in 2018 and is currently penning music-theatre with playwright Stephanie Martin. Having composed several international floor-fillers under pseudonyms, Calista’s impact in the world of music is matched in that of fashion, where Stella McCartney has used her tracks as catwalk openers and Parisian fashion house Jitrois actually named its couture ‘Callista’ jacket after her. @CalistaKazuko “Calista has a soft melodious voice when she sings in this one that digs deep into your brain with tremendous calming feels.“ Feeling the love on this beautiful Friday, thanks to @Sistra_me sistra.me/so-much-love-b… About 2 days ago from CalistaKazuko's Twitter via Twitter for iPhone “As a platform that celebrates the achievements of women in music, we’re happy to welcome back Calista Kazuko who is showing us that pregnancy and motherhood is no barrier to creativity.“ Such a lovely feature from @LOCKmagazine for SO MUCH LOVE 🖤🤍 lockmag.co.uk/oxytocin-is-th… About 3 days ago from CalistaKazuko's Twitter via Twitter for iPhone “Full of sophisticated instrumentation, chord changes that you really don’t expect, alongside Calista highly immersive vocals, ‘So Much Love’ will keep you captivated throughout.
