I'm going to be bold, blunt and impolite in saying what I suspect many of us feel already... TITO is never going to sell well in the US. It's not that it's bad, it's that it's *not Hikki!* She's not an R&B singer, she's a pop singer, arguably the best in the world. There's no way she can compete with Beyonce because Beyonce is a born-&-raised R&B singer. It's in her soul. But it's not in Hikki's soul and that was immediately clear to me the first time I heard TITO. I don't know if an R&B album was her idea or her record company's but it was a bad choice.


I don't necessary agree. If you remember, she STARTED off in R&B and I mean with a really distinct 90's R&B sound. And then she ventured into pop later. You can even hear some of that R&B style coming back in the album "Heart Station".

But I do agree that I want to hear her do more pop. And it's kinda weird because most of her pop is experimental, unable to fit into neatly into a genre, so with her you never know what your going to get (why I like her so much). Her English pop songs usually seem like hits (Sanctuary, Simple and Clean) or misses (Easy Breezy).

And am I the only one who hopes Hikki switches record labels?
