[Namie Amuro] Beautiful Namie Makes the Big Boys Cry - the 74th thread

[inspire_rmx]

OMG I'm totally in love with this song. it' sooo catchy and i love the verse!

[ILoveGeniuses]

Nice. Very nice... just never quite pictured this from her.

[chocopockymaster]

Fourth-ing the sentiments about the obnoxious chorus. But I really like the verses! I wasn't a fan of BBC so I'm looking forward to Contrail/Can U Feel This Love, however they end up being released. It would be so weird for her to put out a new album, even though I guess she's got plenty of material.

[everlastingRAINBOW]

Really like it! The chorus is a tad cheesy, but man do those versus sound like they should be off QoHP! The versus actually are very similar to "I Love You"'s versus if they were sped up!

[Mirrorcle Monster]

Wow another song??!?!? Sounds so refreshing and original, love the fact that she is trying new things

[Beauty4123]

"Can You Feel This Love" sounds pretty good! i can't wait to hear the full version!

[AyuGAME]

ok..much better than Big Boys Cry

Im usually very happy. I just tend to ignore when other people complain too much.

However, this new song, I'm not sure what to say. I like it, but I'm not super over the top taken with it. I think I like it. However, it won't be a personal favorite of mine.

[Delicious n Bold]

i listened to sweet 19 blues and i found the whole thing better than anything released after uncontrolled, save for bbc

[Yumsushi]

Her Engrish may not be bad in this song, but it definitely has it's cringe-worthy moments.

I really don't feel like "can you feel this love" suits her at all. It reminds me of "only you" which I also didn't like at all. BBC was all bubbly and cute but it still felt like a Namie song. This one feels really generic and the kind of song I'd expect from an idol group or something. It has no cool Namie factor if you know what I mean

[ILoveGeniuses]

I LOVE "Only You". It's pretty. "Can U Feel This Love" however, feels a bit juvenile in its sound though. Not sure if that's the right word to use, but it doesn't sound overly mature to me. There's cute Kuu songs that sound more mature than this one in my opinion. -_-

[AyuHamasaki01]

A new song? Omg She's on a roll!

The new song sounds really amazing. Her english is so good in this song!

[freakybambi]

Big Boys Cry is awesome and Beautiful is really beautiful! ♥ i really love BBC music video too.

can't wait her next album.

[Rocky Raven]

BBC is her worst song, ever. I skip it right after the opening chorus. I hate those kind of melody. So cheap and terrible boring. Thank God 'Beautiful' was there to save this single for me.
Why can't she just sing something cool like Top Secret, Defend Love or Violet Sauce anymore? ==

I know a lot of her new releases are her own choice, but lately it feels like avex is turning her into the new ayu: release as much as possible as fast as possible so we can get that money

[GREENsora]

^You'd think avex would realize that's the formula for artist burnout

[Kouyou]

I love Damage and Big Boys Cry more than anything on Uncontrolled, to be honest. I can't wait to see what she'll put out next and I hope she releases an album soon. Nobody wants another single collection with some of the songs being 2-3 years old, à la Uncontrolled.

[Corvina]

I don't know, but with this pace the new album is coming probably sooner than anybody expects.
Though all that happy light-hearted pop from her now...
I know she said in that WOWOW documentary not long ago that she wants to do songs for making people happy and feeling good for the upcoming album, but I need to get used to it. It's not bad though.

[mizuki-7]

The fact is Namie is under vision factory management ! Avex has nothing to do with time between each release !
