Finally gave the album sampler a few play throughs. I personally never minded her singing in English, but I think she really needs to find a good team of lyricists for her English songs. She always works with the best producers, so we never have to worry about the music itself, but man... Some of these lyrics are so cheesy/bad that it's kind of distracting (I'm looking at you in particular, Birthday).
A lot of these songs would probably be a lot better if she blended Japanese/English rather than complete English. Every Woman for example is kind of a mess, pronunciation-wise (All the boys in the worl wanna meelus?). She should've sang the verses in Japanese. And Fly is amaaaaaaazing...but I have no clue what she's saying lol.
Lyrics aside, I really like the overall sound and direction of this album. It sounds like it's going to be a really fun album to dance and have fun to. The only song I don't really like is Scream, simply because her vocals are so overly processed and autotuned that it kind of hurts to listen to. I'm surprised there is seemingly an interlude on this album too; it sounds really nice though.
I cannot wait to model strut to Photogenic and Fashionista.
