I actually enjoy listening to 'Winner Girls' surprisingly.
It does sound very reminiscent of her older material but with a modern twist just like Namie's 'TSUKI'.
With the exception of 'Touchdown', none of her new songs scream "New Koda Kumi" like she mentioned in her Vivi interview. However, I think the unreleased latter half of the album will display this "evolution" that she speaks of.
I guess this album will be a slow transition of her evolved sound which, in all honesty, is a smart (
and most logical) move on her part.
