That Japanese siren, Utada Hikaru, has released her next English-language effort in the US digitally on iTunes recently with a physical copy release on May 12. I'm buying this on May 12, because I cannot stand iTunes.

I've heard the entirety of the album, and I think that overall, that this IS the one.

This is a lot better than her previous English experimental album, Exodus (though I like about half that one).

Here's her first single and video off of it: Come Back to Me



Other songs that I like off it are:
Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence - FYI
This One (Crying Like A Child) *** THE HOT FIRE ***
Automatic Part 2
Taking My Money Back
Apple and Cinnamon
Dirty Desire
On and On

This thread is made of happy.

I'll definately be keeping an eye out for this. As a side note, I also share your disdain for itunes.

Embedding disabled by request.....Fail.

That would be fail on your end good sir... works fine for me.

Hey, I never directed the fail. I just said fail.

No embedding here either.

That just happened recently. I've changed it to the mp3 of the song instead.

Ugh.

She sounded very R&B in that song, I'm not used to her singing like that. If I heard this song on the radio I would swear it wasn't her.

Good song though, I guess she can sing in any style.
