I really hope her team takes a different route this time musically speaking. If that happens, I'll stop being an Ayu-pessimist.
Love Songs is by far her most interesting album on the compositional level for me, the tracks have rather unique melodies and interesting blends of genres I don't think I heard in mainstream pop before and if she produces another similar one I'll be in fanboy heaven. And there is a reason Leslie Kee is at the top in a completely oversaturated business: he's a damn good photographer, if his photos make you cringe doesn't really matter...at all. Some people hate Shakespeare as well and his work is without a doubt great no matter what some individuals think. The top fashion magazines, models and musicians will continue to use Leslie because he simply does a great job in his field of work.
