I discovered this through a limited LP pressing from 1996:
http://www.discogs.com/release/687186
although the song "I'll Be Stronger" has been mentioned on her Wikipedia page for quite some time. This is Hikaru singing with her early early R&B influences. The music is very easy and relaxing. The song is a single that was recorded right before Precious but was never put on the album. However, it was put on a compilation disk as we can see here:

You can listen to it for free off of youtube here:

Sometime I will get around to digitizing the four tracks that are on the record in high quality and post a link. To get you all further excited I found a cheaper test pressing of a U^3 record titled "Rainy Day" as seen here:
http://www.discogs.com/release/1396665
I will also digitize this when I have the time.


Enjoy.

Ok everyone here it is.. Straight from the vinyl 4 tracks.. Cubic U - I'll Be Stronger - 320 kbps AAC. It does have pops and all that but they are not noticeable after a few seconds. Please let me know if it is broken.

Download here

Tracks Are:

I'll Be Stronger (R & B)
JazzMoses (Vocal)
Cookin' With Gas (Vocal)

Quote:That is probably why you haven't heard it until now. Anyhow, this was intended to be a Vinyl release only meaning you would have to listen to the whole side before stopping. I think track 4 is the best one with track 3 being the one that is in the youtube video.

I know most people dislike cubic u and earlier hikki, because they dislike r and b in general. As a lover of good r and b, this song rocks mighty hard. The beat is so good... It really sounds like 90's r and b, its like a trip back into memory ane, listening to montel jones or something :) great song, great feeling imo...

I don't understand why this was not on the album, its really the best cubic u song I've heard.

If I haven't before, I really want to thank you sswx2187 for being as awesome as you are!
