Saint Vox

As already mentioned before, Jade and Geo were working on another album for this year! Since Jade's solo activities in 2007 & 2008 and her "Pop meets Classic" album with her long time producer and friend Geo under the name of ETERNITY in 2009, Jade is going to release another album in Japan on Nov 25th. This time she has made a very special collaboration with Japan's greatest violin player, Miyamoto Emiri, and they call themselves SAINT VOX.

SAINT stands for the purity and reverence they both have for music and VOX for the special fusion of Jade's vocal and Emiri's violin. This very unique duet was especially produced by Geo. Jade and Geo wanted to give this album a rebellious approach with a lot of edge, emotion, and attitude in the production and composition. Their first mission was to revolutionize famous songs in Japan with a new energy and perspective! Half of the 12 songs on the selftitled album are new original songs by Jade and Geo and the other half of the songs is based on famous Japanese songs of great Japanese composers:

"Don't Leave Me This way" is based on Ryuichi Sakamoto's "Energy Flow"
"Rocket Girl" is based again on Ryuichi Sakamoto, “Merry Christmas, Mr Lawrence”
"It Won't Matter" is based on “Kaze No Tori Michi (Pathway of the winds)” by Jo Hisaishi from the anime film “MY NEIGHBOR TOTORO”
"Electric" is based on “Jyonetsu Tairiku” (Music: Taro Hakase) from the TV documentary “JYONETSU TAIRIKU (Land of the Passion)”.
"Crashing Down" is based on“Princess Mononoke” (Music: Jo Hisaishi) from the anime film “PRINCESS MONONOKE"
“Killa” is based on “Saisho Kara Saigo Made" (From the Beginning to the End)” Music: Yu Hejung, O Sokujun) from the TV drama “WINTER SONATA”
