It might not sound like she's sticking to one type of music because her releases have many genres in one, but when 3 to 4 releases in a row sound alike you can see that she in a "genre artist", or whatever you wanna call it. She has her regular formula, she's sticks with it, so whatever. If she keeps doing the same thing, maybe people might feel she's not evolving. To where? I don't know.

I often say that most of her releases has tracks that I can keep it, that are interesting and fresh sounded, or sometimes even the dated part is enjoyable (right now I enjoy all the corniness that PARTY has), so I'm not the one creating expectations because I know something will stand out anyway.

If I could point to one direction that I believe it would be evolving, or moving forward, or whatever, is try to do what she did with Eternity but with her own material. It was a mature album, it had a very put together sound and it was nicely produced, with most of the tracks with lower registers where her voice really shines. Maybe put some enka in there. I don't expect her to do something like this, ever, but it's an idea.
