Utada, Exodus (* * * out of 4) On her U.S. debut, 21-year-old Japanese superstar Utada Hikaru crafts slick, electronically fueled tracks that could, on their surface, pass as background music for nightclubs and loft parties. Luckily, this young singer/songwriter is more than a ghost in her own machine. Like the young Madonna, Utada projects a girlish yearning that transcends her vocal limitations and melts the cool sheen of her arrangements. Tunes such as You Make Me Want to Be a Man and Let Me Give You My Love cannily blend dance, R&B and Asian textures with a soulful spark, proving that hipness and humanity aren't mutually exclusive assets. —Elysa Gardner
