Oh god that’s even worse LMAO
I’m honestly very intrigued as to what these new songs will sound like, the vibe of the singles from the album have generally been very hard hitting (obviously with the exception of the ballads, but even they’re grand in their own way) so i’m expecting a very EDM/house inspired album. It would be pretty on trend too, especially with the success of albums like Charli XCX’s Crash and Beyoncé’s Renaissance. I’m gonna do a list of the new songs and what I feel/hope they’re going to sound like
Spoiler:
- (NOT) Remember you: I don’t think this will be an interlude. I know that if it was it wouldn’t be the first time she includes an interlude on an album 2 tracks in (ie Opening run on I am… and Discomunication on Next Level) but based on the placement of this song on the album, something tells me this is going to be a very sassy and powerful dance breakup song. Kinda like (don’t) Leave me alone (also getting similar vibes with the title)
- ray of truth: Now this one i could def see being an interlude. but i’m really hoping it’s not 😭 when i saw the title it reminded me of Madonna’s Ray Of Light, which kinda goes with what I said about me thinking this is going to be a dance oriented album. However, I don’t particularly see this being a dance song, i have a feeling this will be more of a ballad. But considering how the next few songs seem to be the ballad section of the album, i’m starting to fear that this is indeed an interlude track…
- Remember you: This will be the antithesis of (NOT) Remember you. I predict that she might pull a Sunrise/Sunset (Love is all) and use the same melody as (N)RY, but with different lyrics. If (N)RY is more of an unapologetic, optimistic breakup song, then this feels like it will be more full of lament. I have a feeling this will be a piano-driven ballad with a bittersweet feeling.
- taskinson: there is no doubt about it, this is an interlude and i think it’s fun how she’s kept this whole task thing going for so many years. i generally enjoy tasuku’s instrumental tracks so i’m very excited to see what this one sounds like. seeing as to how this is heading into seemingly the more upbeat section of the album, i can see this being something like The Judgement Day, where it bridges the more slow ballad section with the upbeat dance section.
- VIBEES: This is a very weird title lmao. I agree with Zeke that this most likely isnt supposed to be pronounced Vai-bees, but i can’t help saying it like that 💀 I’m (for some reason) thinking new jackswing for this song. The genre is making a comeback and it wouldnt be too farfetched since Mask was also a 90s throwback. I’m also seeing Ayu rapping which would be hilarious, this is definitely gonna be a fun song
- Nonfiction (Yohanne Simon Remix): now this one is interesting. bcuz it isnt being marketed as a bonus track, and it’s even integrated into the main album tracklist. it kinda reminds me of how Mariah Carey included the original version of Heartbreaker on her Rainbow album, as well as the remix ft Missy Elliott and Da Brat (something which she did again with Loverboy on Glitter) I’m not familiar with the work of this artist so I don’t know what to expect, but i’m going to guess it’s going to be an EDM style remix. Maybe the placement on the record will make sense once the album comes out, but for now i’m a bit perplexed
- Just the way you are: a part of me thinks this is going to be a ballad based on the title and placement of the song. another part of me thinks this is gonna be an upbeat track based on how ayu sometimes likes to subvert expectations when it comes to album closers (see flower garden, independent+, and summer love). i’m kinda leaning more towards ballad, but then if it is a ballad it would be weird to have it right after a remix… almost feel as though there should be an interlude before it, maybe that’s why the remix is there?? i don’t know, we’ll just have to wait and see when the album comes out
Obviously this is just me speculating… dreaming… perhaps maybe even being a little delusional lol. I’m no insider and i have as much as an idea of the sound of this album as you guys, but it’s always fun to imagine and share expectations of something with other people, so i wanna hear u guys’ thoughts: what do you think/hope that this album is going to sound like? and which track are you claiming? personally i claim ray of truth
