Sowelu exposes “true self” with new album

On December 1, Sowelu (27) will release her first album since joining Avex’s rhythm zone label last year. Titled “Love & I ~Renai Henreki~,” the album is a collaboration with nine male artists, including CHEMISTRY’s Yoshikuni Dochin (31).

Sowelu said that she wanted to show a side of her true self that she couldn’t show before, and the result is a big change from her previously pure image. The jacket for the album features a nude Sowelu with a cigarette in her mouth and one hand covering her breast. A 15-minute music video has also been unveiled, beginning with a passionate kiss scene and progressing on to love scenes, which are said to comprise about 6 to 7 minutes of the video.

Sowelu is a big fan of the female author LiLy (“Tokyo Dream”), so she asked the writer to handle the lyrics for the album’s songs. Sowelu then performed the songs with nine male artists, including Yoshikuni Dochin, RYO-Z of RIP SLYME, VERBAL of m-flo, and Daichi Miura.
