I love this song <3 ^^ I've missed you English hikki! :D

*ahem* now, not paying attention to the crazed fangirl that lurks inside of me...

This song sounds a lot like what's popular in the US right now so I would say she is really playing it safe with a classic sounding r&b song. I think that it will be really popular, but I wouldn't be surprised if some critics would say its too plain and that she played it too safe >.> those critics!

But that's just a thought.

And so far so good peoples~ no flamers (y)


Oh now i get it, thanks for the explanation. Do you think they will make PV for this song ?

Hmmm that's a good question. From what I remember, Devil Inside was released first for Exodus but then they released Easy Breezy as the single with the PV.

But that was because DI was a dance track....so you never know!

Ya they should do that lol

Btw this a bit off topic, anyone knows that EMI once buy Virgin records stock about 100 million USD (i forgot the real number) coz virgin almost got bankrupt and that save Virgin records.
Btw if EMI's using those history coz Virgin already re-buy their stock and Hikki on Virgin records rather just Islanddefjam. Maybe just maybe it will make a great promotion for Hikki album

so when i first heard this, i seriously thought i was dieing from the inside. I don't like American R&B too much and this song sound ALOT like something Rihanna would do, except Utada can sing, so it was disappointing.

I understand completely WHY she had to do it, i mean we all can't be like Gackt and have a video for Terminator SCC and it'll definately get aired (btw that video made me lol).

I hope that this will get her popular in America, cause though it may be mainstream, it isn't exactly different, its very plain. I hope that her next single has a bit more umph but still safe....if that made any sense.

Then again, this IS America where she's releasing it, so it might do well cause a lot of music here is mainstream.

I hope that it does do well, and i'll keep listening to it just in case it'll grow on me, and of course i'll let EVERYONE i know hear this song

{edit}

ALSO, i had my bro listen to it, he said it sounds like something MTV would play

so i HOPE theres a PV, cause itll prolly get on MTV

Not to flame but MTV has become a type of a joke in the industry and if you used to be a fan it would make you very sad today. For anyone who asked what radio it will be played on.. Kiss FM. For the people wondering where they can buy this when it is released, any music rack retailer. Boarders books and music still carries Exodus.. and I saw it at FYEntertainment about three weeks ago.

Now, this will not be one of my favorite songs.

Not that it is awful.. but its not up to her level. I guess that is something about getting older.. I don't enjoy music with lyrics like this.. it is made to sell to a younger and largely immature American audience. I want to see a more mature and unique UH. I guess that is the cost of breaking in the mainstream.. but Hikki.. why do you have to go mainstream in the USA. I'd much rather see you produce a real work of art, an Exodus 2.0 (remember, "I dont want to crossover between this genre, that genre. Between you and I is where I want to crossover" WTF HAPPENED!!), than this and I think many people my age could agree (i'm not looking to the 17 year olds for support here, no offense but I think some day you might understand where I'm coming from).. that these themes, like cheating, are way too high school don't occur as often as you get older and I'd like to hope people are smart enough to know if she cheats not to go back even if she sings and crys "baby come back to me." because anyone who cheats doesn't know what they want and are not worth your time regardless of what lessons may have been learned because there are millions of other people out there who are going to truly be faithful. Maybe sing about that?

Hikki, if you want to make music that will be listened to for 40 years.. make it something with substance.. and you can do it.. but not like this. I want to see hotel lobby, kremlin dusk, animato but X 10!!!

Its a load of fluff personally, some creative expressions included, but largely something I can't appreciate.

Regardless, I really do enjoy the instrumentals and the beat.

GJ in that respect.. I'm looking for the type of sound you make for my music.. but there is no way to emulate your sound without coming off as a copycat. I guess I need to think outside the box. (but you didn't make this beat, your producer set it up.. right?)

Sorry if anyone finds this hateful. I am not happy with this. But I've found Hikki's singles are far from the best songs on the album so I still have hope.

You know, when you were mentioning how the lyrics are a little bit "younger", it made me realize how similar this song is to Easy Breezy, they're both pretty fluffy and sound mainstream (at least, I think Easy Breezy did at the time it came out). Maybe this is the Easy Breezy of her new album and there's some other radically different stuff on there we haven't heard.
