Yamagata learns more about China through collaboration with Chinese musician

Ahead of her third tour of China which took place in November, New York-based singer-songwriter Rachael Yamagata sought to learn more about her destination by working with Chinese musician Guo Ding on a song.

The two musicians traded many emails regarding the lyrics and melodies before putting together the song It's Always The Little Things that was released on Nov 23.

The simple, guitar-driven song is calm and slow, and tells about the bittersweet struggle that some people go through when they don't know if they should stay in a relationship even though they still love the other party.
