Julia Fordham will return to Japan for the first time in two years, presenting a premium stage at Billboard Live that weaves together timeless classics such as “Happy Ever After,” “Where Does the Time Go,” “Porcelain,” “Girlfriend,” “Love Moves (In Mysterious Ways),” and “Manhattan Skyline,” alongside new songs from her latest album Earth Mate. In recent years she has been active as a member of the female vocal group “Woman to Woman,” formed with Judie Tzuke and Beverley Craven. The album has been highly praised, and during her UK tour she sold over 50,000 tickets, a resounding success.

Julia Fordham’s voice is a deep, soft contralto. Its mellow timbre quietly seeps into listeners’ hearts. Her breadth and depth as a musician—reflected in works produced by Larry Klein and in collaborations with Paul Riser, Michael McDonald, India.Arie, and others—tell the story of her expansive artistry.
