Three Berry Icecream - Apricot


A fan of Kahimi Karie? Well, if you are, you'd probably like Three Berry Icecream. It's a solo project of Mayumi Ikemizu where she does everything all by herself.

The album Apricot is a compilation of bossanova, tweepop, and well, indiepop. I personally love the songs because it's pretty simple but could really makes me smile. It is opened with a cute track called A Sunny Spring Day which really brings spring to your heart. The Second track, A Towering Cloud In A Summer Day, is a little bit bossanova based with accordeon played by Mayumi herself (oh! and a sweet whistle solo too). Track 3, Children Hour is quite short and reminds me of songs played in music box. The next track is called Fine Day which I think is like a typical tweepop sound. Then moving on to the fifth, a song called Funny How Love Can Be takes me to a carnival. Next, we've got KLM Line and Marble Arch which are also typical indipop songs (I like em tho, expecialy Marble Arch). The album is then closed with a very simple song called The World Begins To Move Again which consisted only guitar and vocal.

Finally, in this album, Mayumi Ikemizu melts the sweetness of twee pop and the jazzy bossa nova. So, if you share a love for all things cute, you'll love this album.
