This is 10 Points for my dearest Eriko!!
|
This score is purely dedicated to Erikochan's devotation! I know I know, the production ain't that good but it will surely grow on me. the comment lower mine has an interesting point. If Eri's production team had had listened to the comment of "My Place", They would had produced the more appropriate character of songs for Erikochan, my dearest. Erikochan and her team, please listen to those comment, they are very useful to develop her charm !!!! |

Please stop the "Music"
|
Finally after nearly seven months of waiting, comes young and talented Eriko Imai's sixth single and first since her debut album, "My Place." While her producer's hard rockish- "SPEED" styled music was flattened out after such long over-use, fans were hoping for a dramatic change in her image both music and production wise. In response to that, T2ya [Earth. Rina Chinen] presents her newest release, "Don't Stop the Music." mmediantly upon opening the lyrics sheet, one can't help but notice the lack of production notes, including the credits themselves. "Lyrics, Music and Arrangement by T2ya" sits atop the set of lyrics without further information. It's only reasonable to conclude either Eriko performed her own back up vocals and only one instrument was used or none of the other musicians were worth mentioning. This, unfortunatly wasn't the only puzzling aspect of the single. "Don't Stop the Music," in short, seems sloppily put together. While the chorus may be catchy after a few spins, the melody and beat of the song are inconsistent and 'plain' to describe at best. The same song samples are repeated throughout the track without much thought and it becomes more and more evident that there was indeed only one instrument used. As far as creativity goes, it's a balant attempt to create something that stands out amoung other mainstream music by T2ya, that only seems to back fire. During the breakdown it's more than noticable that there's an uncanny similarity between "Don't Stop the Music" and particular portions of hiro's "Confession." The structure of the song also sounds surprisingly like Earth's "Is This Love." However, it's the 'rap' portion of the track that's the most unfitting. Not only do the lyrics make absolutely no sense grammer wise, but vocally, Eriko's English needs a lot of work. Her vocals have improved milestones from her last release, however, with such a strong and dominating accent, the addition of English 'rap' seems pointless and only adds to the bewilderment one feels from listening to the track. The single continues with another full song, "Style." Unlike the first track on the disc, "Style" has a more consistent flow. It's an average 80-ish dance song with nothing special although Eriko does an exceptional vocal job. The only negative point to point out, is again, Eriko's limited English. "Do Be" sounds more like "Chu Be," rather strangely. Considering her new label, Avex, there is also a remix of "Don't Stop the Music" added onto the single. The remix, unlike trance mixes for example, is steady and fills in a lot of the void gaps of its original version. Personally, the remix makes an improvement. Overall, while seemingly unique, "Don't Stop the Music" is more so a collection of recyled beats and melodies thrown together than an actual song. Eriko's vocal range has expanded considerably, however with the faults of her English and the producing on this release it's difficult to appreciate this. "Don't Stop the Music" isn't bad: it's just not that good. Eriko has a lot of potential and it's only a matter of time until someone brings her talents to full bloom. |
