Love Language

UMI is a Seattle-born, LA-based R&B singer-songwriter. She’s also a visual artist who creates thoughtful and imaginative videos to her music, freely exploring and exploding her image and identity. *Love Language* collects the musical element of four episodic videos where she plays a part human, part anime version of herself, filtering her perspective through electro-tinged R&B. She captures a romance’s giddiness on “Love Affair” while also tracking warning signs (an exquisite duet with Yeek, “Runnin’”). The gently poetic “Sukidakara” (“because I like you”) is performed primarily in Japanese, but no translations are needed to figure out the meaning. The EP closer “Breathe” reveals a plot twist, so listen to *Love Language* to find out what happens.
