Also, a recommendation for future review posts: I think it needs to be a little clearer in the review titles what is the artist and what is the album name for people who don’t already know the musicians. Having the album name first seems a bit odd to me and unlike how most reviews I’ve seen are done.

Utada’s “This is the one” is a great Pop album.
She is so unique and original.
If you guys haven’t listened to the album, you should try “On and On” and “Merry Christmas, Mr. Lawrence, FYI” at least on iTunes.
Lyrics from “On and On”
“Honeys if you’re gay,
Burn it up like a gay parade
Honeys if you’re straight,
Pump it up, take it all the way
Intoxicated, emancipated, unapologetic…….”

Yea, I’m kinda disappointed with Kelly’s effort this time around…
But yay, Utada – I especially love the hook you flagged out in ‘On and On’.

This Utada chick is actually pretty good, sure it’s ‘safe’, but it still has personality.

@Greg Ever: Great suggestion, guys. We’ll look into it.

Anneli Drecker, one of my long-time favorites–and lead singer of Bel Canto, is NORWEGIAN, not Swedish.

Oh, and I’ve not heard of Utada before, but Royksopp is easily 1000 times better than anything Kelly Clarkson could ever do.

I agree with alan brickman, we definitely need some sound samples. You can embed the songs (legally) using the code on imeem.com, if you want. Just look up the song and there it is. This would be a big help, I think.

i love “i do not hook up”. And I’m surprised on how much I dig it. It’s really good. I think this album is pretty decent but I did dig her last album a lot too.
