I only ever heard Passion from her. I would like to check her out tho. What songs do you recommend for a new potential fan? Guide me to the light people.

^I suggest you download every album. That's what I did, and listened them in release order and was blown away. Especially with Distance, DEEP RIVER and ULTRA BLUE.

I tried her singles before and I didn't like a lot of songs, but I enjoyed Boku wa Kuma or something like that,Goodbye Happiness and Sakura Nagashi (I adore her voice in this one).
Praying for something epic as Sakura Nagashi. Delicious n Bold, please pray with me.

Honestly, Utada is such an exception because there is a clear divide in her style. If someone were to recommend to me anything pre-Ultra Blue as a first listen, I'd almost certainly give up on her. Her r&b/groove days are not enjoyable for me, where-as the ethereal dream-esque world she venture into from Ultra Blue onward is divine. When I think Hikki, I nothing pre-Ultra Blue even comes to mind (with the exception of Simple & Clean and First Love the song) because her artistry was an entirely different vision and concept back then to me. It's a lot of stuff anyone could have released, and a lot of stuff imitating and inspired by other artists/styles. Whereas, I feel the material she began releasing with Ultra Blue was a flavor of music I could only taste from her alone.

I would say DEEP RIVER is her best work to date. Followed by ULTRA BLUE.
They would also be the easiest to connect, well mostly. |

Ultra blue onwards is when I officially declared myself a fan. so I've got special appreciation for ultra blue.

Distance is definitely her best album. Strong writing + production start to finish. I like all her other albums but to me they are a lot more inconsistent internally in terms of quality (I'm looking at you, "Utada Greatest Hits vol. 0.5 + 3-4 fillers" masquerading as an original album called Deep River). There is literally not a single bad song on Distance. Those were the days.
