It sounds like a Memorial Address/My Story song. It's so good! I like this direction a lot.

Interesting track, still unsure if I like it. I am glad it's kind of unexpected though.

I literally am so happy about news of a new single that I couldn't nitpick on what I don't like about this!
this needs a kickass video clip and like a good anime(?) tie-in. I'm loving the vibes of her latest upbeat songs, first Dreamed a Dream and now this. my goodness. happy 23rd anniversary indeed! |

I wonder whether the Insta-story footage she posted about some kind of shoot was for the music video of this single :O
assuming it was, I'm so excited to see what the video is like for a song like this (especially if you also factor in the assumption that she is still pregnant) |

I'm shook. I haven't listened to the track yet, but the cover is striking and...nostalgic? That is, it seems to me quite reminiscent of eras long gone (very 2010 in particular).

the cover looks to me like a revamp of the CD-only version of A BEST 2 -WHITE-

I really like those sudden surprises! Boom a new song from nowhere.
LOVE the cover even if it's another headshot. The mask, given the current pandemic, certainly ads some personality to it. I like what they did with the font placement. And it's out of focus like everything except her eyes, which is a nice touch (so that we can appreciate her weird lenses even more ). Also really like the title, this is something I wouldn't expect from her at all! Nice surprise! As regards the song, my feelings are way more mixed. I really like her voice here. It's quite low but fits the song very nicely. The delivery (not sure it's the right word...) sounds natural. BUT... I have issues with arrangements and probably mixing too. It's the same issues that DaD had. Everything is so busy, too busy resulting in it sounding really flat and empty. It's even more noticeable on this song to me. The arrangements in themselves are a bit dated and too messy. It certainly would benefit from more subtlety. I can't help imagining this new single with another team behind those two aspects. It could have been way more. Still I'm happy it's not a typical bland ballad. Last edited by hidekirby; 7th April 2021 at 06:21 PM. |
