I hope one day he actually incorporates it because I think his music would be on par with the work of artists like BT, who are hands-down complete masters of music and instrumentation.

I love RedOne. He may not be the most intelligent producer, but his songs have a lot of body to them and he's very intelligent when it comes to melody and movement. What I really want to hear between Ayu and RedOne is something like Jennifer Lopez's "Live It Up", where there's some Lady Gaga-esque work.

Also, as bad as this may sound, I would like to see her do something with Tim again. I know I was real against Tim's super gayness on PQ, but I've been wanting to see him and Ayu do something similar to NaNaNa, just a little classier. I mean, for Christ's sake, if Tim is going to do the girly thing, I want to see him in outfits like he wore in BRILLANTE. So, yeah, I'll be real happy if Ayu and Tim do something for one of the tracks and PVs.

Actually, I'll be REAL HAPPY if Tim produces another ballad for Ayu for this minialbum, or for her next studio album. I still listen to BRILLANTE and think it is one of her best written and produced works in the last 10 years.

YES TO LIVE IT UP!!

I loved that song when it dropped, and felt it was light years beyond her previous releases with Pitbull. That's what I was hoping for and expecting in regards to "XOXO" because Live It Up has really great anticipation / buildup to the uplifting chorus! XOXO is like the complete opposite of that!!
