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

[Heavenly]

Good to hear about her new album ^^

[BlackSilence]

ViVi June Issue

[emi♡]

eh not really my favorite...sure the insides are pretty though.

I think that's the least text I've ever seen on a vivi cover lol

[BlackSilence]

^ am personally not a fan of that cover too. Which is rare since Namie looks gorgeous on 99% of the covers.

[ILoveGeniuses]

Not a fan of the cover either.

And Seriously!? New Album Already!?
Still suppose we should have seen that coming with all the new songs. Damage, BBC, Beautiful & Contrail.... Just question becomes, will her doing this so fast make for a lousy album?... This is worrying me already.

the ViVi cover is so pretty! and i'm very happy to hear about a new album!

[Dream]

new album omg

I don't even care if it's fast, I just want new music from namie <3

[Corvina]

Namie talked about the album in ViVi's interview:
It will be an album made for summer including songs like Big Boys Cry, Can't You Feel This Love?, Contrail and more.(12 songs in total)
She said there will be A LOT of dance tracks in this album. The album is still in recording process now.

Awesome, thanks for the translation quote Corvina. Looking forward to a great summer album from Namie.

[GREENsora]

Mixed feelings about the cover.

A lot of dance tracks for her new album? YESS! Her dance tracks are the best

[Delicious n Bold]

I hope none of the singles are on the album
But then again, Namie isn't Ciara.

The singles are made to promote the album though

[ILoveGeniuses]

also if the album's made for summer, why was the BBC PV sorta wintery Christmas themed?......
^random thought.

[adantatu2]

New album, yay !!!

That's what Ciara intended as well. Now look at her.
Namie has just been singing below average songs lately. The only good one is Big Boys Cry because of that hot beat and it's catchy. It has grown on me considerably. Damage sounds like the lesser of Wake Me up. Beautiful does her vocals no justice. Contrail goes nowhere. And isn't there a B-side of Contrail? I don't know.
If it were up to me, only Big Boys Cry would be on the album. But because Namie isn't a flop and because she's not American, that's not happening. Also because Namie's singles didn't bomb that they're gonna be on the album.

Excited for more dance tracks though.

Lulz. Love the ruthlessness.

But ummm. Namie's Albums are always full of dance tracks considering dancing is like her thing, but i don't like that cover by the way, so I don't see what makes that announcement special but whatever.

[jiarongisme]

Anyway, in addition to what deebosco said, she started working on the album about a year ago.

1 year+++ to make an album. I think it's a reasonable amount of time for Namie's standards. Not so rushed.

SUPE REXCITED FOR NEW ALBUM
anything's better than Uncontrolled with its 4 new tracks

and not a fan of that cover

[Corvina]

For summer probably means here fun and lighthearted dance tracks as the main theme for the album. Maybe Damage won`t be included.
