Julia Fordham is returning to Japan for the first time in two years, and a premium performance is set to be held at Billboard Live, weaving new songs from her latest album Earth Mate with timeless classics such as “Happy Ever After,” “Where Does the Time Go,” “Porcelain,” “Girlfriend,” “Love Moves (In Mysterious Ways),” and “Manhattan Skyline.” In recent years, she has been active as a member of the female vocal group “Woman to Woman,” formed with Judy Zook and Beverley Craven. The album has received high praise, and her UK tour sold more than 50,000 tickets.

Julia’s voice is a deep, soft contralto. Its gentle resonance quietly seeps into the listener’s heart. Her collaborations include works produced by Larry Klein, as well as performances with Paul Riser, Michael McDonald, India.Arie, and others, which attest to the breadth and depth of her musicianship.
