^I agree and at the same time I disagree. xD As a music lover, I wish she'd involve a team because we'd get the same songs that she wants to release just with a bit more depth/flair/atmosphere/sound/whatever you want to call it--but as her fan I really, really enjoy watching her and listening to her progress on her own. Like I said, IDENTITY was awful. But Only One (the song) was great. Kiss My Lips was a bit bland but other songs in the album rose it up. Besides, I think she really enjoys making music and after being in this industry so long I'm sure she got tired of just being handed a song and having to perform it. It's probably a lot more fun for her to watch something she made from scratch come to life on the stage.

So, I guess I'm torn in the whole Producer BoA project. She just needs to continue to practice. Though I do agree 100% that she needs to infuse her Kpop and Jpop sounds. They're so different and though that is definitely not a bad thing, it's just that one works so well for her and the other doesn't. I don't know if it's cause she seems to have more freedom to do what she wants in Korea or what, but her Jpop nowadays (with the exception of Lookbook, that I just freaking loved) seems to be so stagnant and stale.
