I know I'm about a month late responding to this, but anyway, here's what I think of BAD Mode.
I felt like it was an immense nod, not just to Hikki's career, the way that Hatsukoi was, but also to their family. I heard influences going as far back as STAR, and the one Sontada's voice appeared on was like a direct homage to the songs Hikki performed with their mother on STAR. Sontada I think sounds exactly like Hikki did when they were young. I think there was so much to be loved about this album, and I do also love that Hikki was bold enough to just flat out put both a 7 minute track and a 12 minute track on this album. The only track I didn't care for was the A.G. Cook remix of Face My Fears. I couldn't finish the track, because it made me physically ill. Like I honestly felt jarred and became nauseated from the mixing, as did the person I listened to the album with the night it dropped on Spotify. Very rarely does a song affect me like this. I'm not sure what it is that made me have that reaction, but it happened. But apart from that, it was a perfect album. |

I haven't heard the entire durations but it seems like it's so far is her best masterpiece after her long hiatus.
After that Mariah Carey-ish ‘This is the one’ album, now that BAD Mode song sounds BTS-ish to me. She's truly such a versatile and powerful singer-song writer! I also haven't seen her latest UK concert in full durations hope she won't lose herself because that would ruin her career. I saw her being naturally and genuinely bossy (in a good way) in almost every behind the scene of her concerts before and to keep her taking control over her music production is a good thing. I find some of the music arrangements and composition by those UK musicians during the live turn out a bit disappointing to me. Especially the man with his moustache and his keyboard during ‘One Last Kiss’performance. That Ruben guy looks very dedicated to his entire part especially ‘PINK BLOOD’performance. I guess she chooses the right musician. My personal favorites of her Air Studios live sessions in order so far: 1. Hotel Lobby, 2. PINK BLOOD, 3. One Last Kiss, 4.‘Find Love’& ‘Face My Fears’at the same place. It's a bit difficult to choose between both. She looks really cool when she's in a serious mode and being bossy when she needs to during working that look interesting and make me really admire & respect her as a hardworking professional. Next live and TV Performance, she shall sing “Tokyo Nights” & “Play Ball” at Bunkamura Studio! I am dying to see them sung in live 😤 She never sings those two amazing DEEP RIVER album songs in live & TV appearance. Unfortunately 😔 That various Kiss & Cry live performances during Laughter in the Dark were such a huge success ⚾🥎(゜o゜; |
