Mayuko Hitotsuyanagi, the artist behind the electronica-leaning moniker Cuushe, is ready to raise her voice and reclaim her love of music with her latest project, FEM.

Following up with the “Night Lines” EP in 2015, the soft-spoken singer-producer kept herself busy with a smattering of feature spots and solo work.
