Arrived today from YesAsia:
Girls' Generation - Girls' Generation
Hiromi - RAINBOW
I already have the "Baby, Baby" repackage of Girls' Generation's first album but I decided to get the regular edition for collection purposes - and for the different pictures in the booklet.
"RAINBOW" is the first full length album by Hiromi, who is an independent R&B artist. If you like DOUBLE, or R&B that is less pop/dance-oriented, definitely check her out.
Her music is generally very relaxed and laid-back and also not overly produced, and as a result her vocals are really brought to the fore. And while she may not have the widest singing range she *definitely* puts a lot of soul into her vocals. When she sings, you can really feel it.
