Guys I keep digging and finding such interesting information. The legendary Ryuichi Sakamoto wrote "BABYLON" with Miliyah. The piano in the song is sampled from his very successful haunting piano ballad "Energy Flow".

It has nearly 6 million views!
Guess this is the closest I'll get to seeing BABYLON live. Praying she'll perform it at the Utopia tour.. Does anyone have any information about the set list?
I found this out in the funniest way. I shazamed BABYLON to see how many Shazams it has and instead of coming up with "Miliyah - BABYLON" it came up with Ryuichi. I was just listening to his latest album earlier today too. It's breathtaking. His part in LIBERTY really explains how the album is so effortlessly experimental since he's known world wide for being experimental he seems to have a very big cult following, even in the west.
Me and other random lovely people on Wikipedia have been working on a LIBERTY page so check it out even add stuff. I filled in a lot of information on how Grimes's album "Art Angels" was an influence. There's so much proof!

I find it so ironic because I listened to Art Angels for the first time a month before I listened to LIBERTY. That was my first album for both artists as well. This influence also explains why the album nailed alternative pop.

Besides BABYLON Miliyah seems to have written all her lyrics by herself. The only songs besides BABYLON that feature other writers is FUTURE LOVER but that's only Daft Punk's credits because she sampled them. I know I said i'll shut up about the health talk but I was at the gym and "Future Lover" was in my playlist and on the gym TV Screen "One More Time" came on hahaha. Then there's Piece Of Cake but I feel Miliyah solo wrote her part and Kazunobu Mineta worte his part. So she pretty much wrote the whole damn thing except my favorite song ironically.
Sorry for all the word vomit once again. This is my place to vent about LIBERTY. God I thought I'd be at least a little bit moved on from it. Guess not.
Seriously I noticed something weirdly specific about my top 3 albums.

3 - Grimes - Art Angels
They ALL have pink hair on the cover. The little drawing on the side of the Art Angels art work as pink hair. And they all feature the sky. I listen to so much music so I just find this so ironic that my top 3 have similar album art. I'm probably overthinking it. But still it's weird! I didn't even think I liked pink hair. The way I carried on when my hair turned pink haha. Now I want everyone to release a pink hair album. Surprised Ayumi hasn't done that yet her pink hair looked amazing. Everyone tell me if you know of any more pink haired albums! That show the sky and feature a lot of solo written songs because that's the 3 main things these have in common! Peace haha
