There really aren't any contemporary artists that I like across the board, despite there having been songs here and there that I enjoy. I just can't help but find it all to feel a little...soulless? So much of the music just strikes me as generic, and sometimes like the artists don't even really care about making music that much (this isn't just JPOP, this is a lot of more contemporary music to me).

That said, I have liked a bunch by Beverly. She's really talented overall, it's just a matter of some of her songs being more interesting than others.

My favorite by her is "尊い" - she has the styling of Ariana Grande, with the bored "I don't care if you like this" attitude of Namie Amuro. LOL.


She also did a great cover of globe's "Faces Places" from the 90's & New Revival project.


Her new song "one vision" is a little cheesy, but a nice track. It's a TK track, so it's no wonder I like it (he's problematic AF, but he can make a good song).
