New York-based Japanese songstress Nao Yoshioka is thrilled to debut her sensual lead single I Love When from her forthcoming third album The Truth, available this Fall. The soul bearing R&B ballad was produced by Swizz Beatz protégé Tyrone “Musicman Ty” Johnson.

”After my parents went through a painful and tough divorce, I became very guarded and skeptical of love. But eventually I witnessed true love prevailing when my parents rediscovered that special feeling that they could not deny and got remarried! This inspired me to write ‘I Love When,’” Nao Yoshioka explains. “When you’re with someone you truly love, all these emotions flood in. From the goosebumps you get from the slight tough of their hand to being lost in their embrace, I hope ‘I Love When’ transports the listeners to that special place.”

“Working with Musicman Ty was an extremely collaborative process. He pushed me creatively and was able to help me express the exact feelings I really wanted to express.”

For her album, The Truth , Nao Yoshioka also recruited Grammy nominated producers Khari Mateen (Jill Scott, James Poyser) and Carolyn Malachi to help her tell her most personal stories yet. This project finds Yoshioka letting go of all restrictions to finally tell the stories she’s been wanting to share.

lyrics

Lyrics Every time I look around I wonder where you are?
Passing trough the moments that we share could It be love?
Time is of the essence Preciously blessed with
No need to be stressing

I love when I feel you
And I breath you
And I need you
It all feels so special When I missed ya
Then you came through

Searching for the word to explain how I feel
Wrapped up in this matrix is it all just surreal?
Time is of the essence
Preciously blessed with
No need to be stressing

I love when I feel you
And I breath you
And I need you
It all feels so special
When I missed ya
Then you came through

Only wanna be with you

I love when I feel you
And I breath you
And I need you
It all feels so special
When I missed ya
Then you came through

Only wanna be with you
