I'm really loving this album already! I love the covers, so vibrant and modern. And the title is definetly one of her bests, "NEXT LEVEL" describes this album well!

It's hard to decide any favorites yet, so I'll just quickly review the songs I've been listening the most so far:

NEXT LEVEL is fun, it's somehow so airy and light, easy to listen. Summer!

EnergizE is so fun and catchy, I like the electronic feeling. Very summery too!

Sparkle is cool, I starting to like it more and more... It's really great to listen when going to party! The electronic instruments really fit. It's just... cool, I don't know how else to describe this song.

rollin' has amazing beat, especially at the beginning when the volume starts to pick up after ambient intro. It's like pulse and it's getting louder, just like the lyrics describe: "The world is rolling around at the speed of rebirth". I'm loving the lyrics, it one of her bests.

Rule is a solid rock song from Ayu, I like it.

LOVE 'n' HATE is really new and suprising. Very dramatic, and the countdown sounds so cool... I loved the song from the first time I listened to it.

As for the new songs, I haven't yet listened identity and Curtain Call enough, I'll get into them soon I think~

//edit: I've been listening to identity now, it's great, especially the chorus... "ID, ID.."
