I would agree with this if we were talking about LOVE Again, to be honest. And that album was already one to get angry at...

But really, if I wanted to listen to something like XOXO, I'd go to JLo's On The Floor, not to Ayu's discography.
She can't even do justice to Angel with her voice and it sounds like a Kelly Clarkson song. Terminal is sending mail on steroids and it's fairly nice but it gets lost in all the techno stuff.

I feel the only song, apart from Pray, that still sounds like Ayu is Lelio, and it still pales in comparison to Sparkle.

I'm not gonna say she doesn't care anymore cause I guess she has money enough to noy even try and just live the rest of her days sunbathing in LA. But I feel there's some inconsistency between what she tries to do and what she ends up doing (she saying she makes the songs turn into rock when she sings them and now... nop).

She is |not even trying|, but she went to work with popular producers (doesn't even matter if they are still today) and even put a show(case) to this whole album up where she does new challenging stuff like air acrobatics herself to perform and convey whatever was being thought and actually -tried- to experiment some more in a style she didn't touch a lot and now she wanted to touch it the most with this album. Yes, she "isn't even trying".

I think you should read my post again. I said that SHE IS.

It was kind of confusing because of that sentence "she has money enough to noy even try and just live the rest of her days sunbathing in LA."

Because even though it's true... it doesn't mean she won't make effort in her work (she will also always want more money probably like everyone else) but music is her only thing and she would go nuts without it, so she will always do her best in her work, if people like the things she does or not, even if things look good/bad, expensive/cheap and wether she does promo or not (doing promo might be the only thing she barely cares about) but she is inclined to make music, not necessarily promote it if she doesn't want.
