Very cool! One of my favorite singer/songwriters, Priscilla Ahn, just released a new album Just Know That I Love You. It's a sister album written for and inspired by the new Studio Ghibli film When Marnie Was There, which was just released in Japan. The album includes the movie's theme song "Fine On The Outside."
Here's the movie's trailer (sorry -- no English translation), which includes Priscilla's tune:
Priscilla says "Find On The Outside" is a very personal song she actually wrote nine years ago, but was always afraid to include it on her previous albums. She got courage to submit it for When Marnie Was There because she was inspired by the film's themes of friendship and love.
"I hope both the film and the song can be a friend to you too... I feel like they go hand-in-hand," she says.
Just Know That I Love You is available on iTunes. You should also definitely check out Priscilla's previous album This Is Where We Are, released earlier this year. For further information about Priscilla Ahn and her music, visit her official website and follow updates on Facebook.
