Tracklist for new daoko album. So she kinda ditched all the singles she's released in the last few years and is only including her latest one (which is still a banger luckily!). Most of them were collabs though so it makes sense actually. Also 11 new tracks! 

 

Though I'm kinda shook a song such as this one is going to end up without a parent album it seems?

 

 

But then again it is from 2022... still an amazing song!

 

The RANGE though. Queen can take on Rock, Electronic, Dance Pop, RAP, downtempo etc. So excited for the new album! Only a month left. :flower2:

Maybe a certain veteran that debuted in 1998 with a single titled Koufukuron should follow her example, but without the latest single part.

Now why didn't this pop rock-inventing bop get a proper video, heard that Utada was involved and wanted to claim pop rock invention with Distance

I'm not exactly gagging yet, but I like the drum n bass. Maybe the video will make it fully click for me. :mandown:

The mud stains and the chains are a look though, some girls were clearly inspired down the line

I wonder if Miliyah is releasing this year.. I miss her :dancehall:

I think I'd prefer if she let it cook for a while... We need another I Hate You moment.

Sayuri Sugawara came on shuffle last night; I had forgotten how much I love her voice! :whistle: I need to listen to more of her "THE SxPLAY" projects.

Any j-pop recs with a similar hyperpop-ish/edm sound?

 

I've revisited Ayumi's Love songs, which was one of my favorites by her, but I'm not sure now. The first half is still very strong to me, and even as TK skeptic I have to admit that his work on the album was superb. However, I don't think that the interludes are that strong/memorable, and I don't care much for Sweet Season, Virgin Road and Seven Days War (though the lyrics on that one are fine). Overall, it's probably still within my top 7 (we'll see after I revisit more albums), but now that I try to look at albums as a whole instead of basing my feelings on highlights, it does feel flawed to me. (miss)understood fans can rejoice, though, as that one has grown on me a lot, and Ladies Night has been on repeat.
