The wave’s crash upon the rocks, a glimpse of a tail swishes below the lapis coloured ocean, and magic creates its first spark. This brand new single from flute performer Adel Shan Lee is a sparkling new offering from the composer, and contains the skill sets of two other artists in Yuki Matsumoto on mid flute & Satomi Suzuki on piano, and what a symbiotic team they make on this new creation called Mermaid Dance.

It is also very pleasing to see a single release of over 5 minutes in this era of micro compositions; the beginning is a very tentative opening, a delicate tapestry of piano and flute, one which builds and manifests a splendid melody, and in so doing, allows Adel Shan Lee to once more set her stage with her delightful bass flute.

The combination of both flutes is brought to the fore with the inclusion of Yuki’s inspiring performance on the mid flute, its rising tones could easily be the crests of the waves to Adel’s oceanic depths, whilst the continuing strong narrative of piano is craft-fully arranged to enhance the overall structure of the composition, its tempo and its melody.

All in all this is a fine example of multi-instrumental music at its very best, perfectly balanced and radiating a fluency that was simply delectable and utterly compelling, this I have a feeling, could achieve a really good chart position and deservedly so and a composition that the artists should be proud of.
