Excellent debut Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
As I'm writing this, Hinouchi Emi is set to launch her 2011 mini-album Voice; perhaps for fans like me a good opportunity to reflect on her earlier work, which was met with a lukewarm reception at best, though not entirely justifiable.

On 'Dramatiques', Hinouchi Emi operates under the wing of m-flo members Taku and Verbal. Start to finish, this is essentially a J-Urban album, with the signature sound of Taku's almost Timbalandian beats dominating, although these certainly do not distract from (yes, quite complementing in fact) the star of this album, Miss Hinouchi Emi. Emi doesn't have the nasal head tone voice that is often heard in J-Urban (Amuro Namie, Koda Kumi, Kato Miriyah), and this quite does her favours singing in this genre.
But what should be noted here is that Emi, who cites Minnie Riperton and Marvin Gaye among her greatest musical influences, incorporates old-school soul sounds into the music and compositions on this album. This is especially apparent on 'Trap' and 'Hey Boy', which, if it wasn't for the drum machine beat, could be interpreted as more traditional 70s style soul songs. So while Emi has a good control over the contemporary urban genre, she also doesn't forget whre it's coming from, and this lends her a great credibility.
At times, Emi's voice is raw around the edges and not entirely pure, but she performs the songs with a contageous enthusiasm, and has the ability to sound convincingly sweet ('Let It Be'), sad ('Painful') and even tough ('What's Your Secret?').

A solid urban record. 8 out of ten.

 loved it Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
I was a little sketchy about buying this album, but I am so glad that I did. She has a great voice with a good range. Some people said that there wasn't enough variety on the album, but I had no problem with any of the songs. My favorites were Trap, Hey boy..., Freak!, Crying, and many others. This album is less urban than I thought it would be, but I have no problem with pop-r&b. I am very happy that I bought this cd.

 ...Well. Customer Review Rated Bad 8 - 8 out of 10
I really liked this album; it was catchy, it was fluffy, it was fun. I think one reviewer said it could use more different beats though, and I agree with them. I *think* it was produced by Taku of m-flo, so if you're wondering what it sounds like... *eyeroll* think m-flo. Because of that it can get pretty repetetive, but it's fun, and Emi Hinouchi is certainly capable, vocally. She can pull it off. So if this kind of m-flo hip-pop is what you're after, pick this one up for sure. Otherwise... you probably have other albums you can throw away your hard-earned cash on. ^.~ I certainly hope that Emi will release another album in the future, but I also hope that it will have a little more variety and be a tad more original. (I hear she's doing back up vocals for Heartdales now... that makes me want to cry.)
