Manami (New R&B Artist)
guest_Unregistered


The song, "Back Of My Mind" is on iTunes now (both English and Japanese)

22-year-old Manami Nakamura will make her international debut as a singer this month. In August of last year, she outlasted a field of 1,700 hopefuls to win the Star Bape Search, an audition held by American producer Pharrell Williams and Japanese producer Nigo. The singer will go by just her first name, Manami. Her debut song is an R&B love song titled ?Back Of My Mind,? produced by Pharrell. It will be released through iTunes in 23 countries on October 21st. Pharrell is said to have high expectations for Manami, guaranteeing that the singer will be able to achieve international success. Born in Okinawa, Manami has been living in Tokyo since the age of 4. She attended dance classes but decided to take up voice training at 19, aiming to become a professional singer. She is also said to have reached a conversational level of English.

To me, I didn't like it that much as "Back Of My Mind"...

But what do you guys think?

Back of my mind , very catchy love the beat both English and Japanese and lirycs doesn't sound vulgar like typical US RnB.

Hold Back.....first few second, just don't like it , remind of Utada crappy song ( sorry Utada.....luv ya :D )
