Since I am a huge fan of Utada was their second album for the USA a must buy for me and I'm thrilled. Although one notices a significant difference in sound and text to their Japanese releases (which are also highly recommended) but this is not bad at all. This is the One has been produced now time for the Western market, will be done with all the scrap of our ears is this album but a boon. I hope that this helps Realese Hikki much further to make known beyond the borders of their country also. She sings, writes and produces (partial) himself. So here comes to no Tralala retort dolls and sells plastic Gedudel but a sung with heart and beautiful voice music. Agesehen it is with only 27 years and over 40 million records sold, an absolute heavyweight among Japanese pop divas. Vocally noticed the most over again the level to which it clearly and cleanly and reached her absolutely perfect English, unusual for an Asian. Since it has partially lived in New York she could probably overcome this hurdle easily. I can give an absolute buy recommendation for each of the R & B like heavy music, because This is the One is an R & B album with some faster dance numbers and slower songs.
I especially like:
On and On - a playful dance track
Taking My Money Back - a song about strong women and ex-boyfriends :) with a catchy chorus and great Bridge
Poppin '- my favorite! A cool song with a great beat, funny text about girls to party, banal but just great. The variability of her voice comes out of here as well. I'm very curious if this video is produced)
Me Muero - a song with Spanish strikes has something of a relaxed siesta.
Come Back to Me - naturally! The first single was a very wise choice, because the song just a beautiful ballad may show in Hikki what she is capable of.
