A Must-Have CHEMISTRY Album
| CHEMISTRY also released "Hot Chemistry" in January 2005, but I don't think with as many commercial hits as this new album "Fo(U)r." CHEMISTRY often treads the fine line of redoing some of their more "classic" sounds, and that leads to an album that sounds good--just not fresh. That's how I mainly felt about "Hot Chemistry," but with "Fo(U)r" I do not think that'll be the case. With poppy, oddly tempoed and synthesized R&B numbers like "Densetsu no Sougen" (Legendary Meadow) in which the true vocals of CHEMISTRY absolutely shine, and the surprisingly refreshing "Grind for me" and "Here I am" in which CHEMISTRY put some funk back into their R&B. "Grind for me" may sound similar to a lot of Korean or Western R&B, but CHEMISTRY lead this song with a uniquely J-R&B feel that reminds you, actually, of Crystal Kay. Stepping up the game with a more relaxed jazz feel, there's also "Dance With Me" which features a rap from Gaku-Mc, which isn't really amazing, but pushes this regular jazz orchestra number up a notch. Just when you thought that CHEMISTRY would fall back into their typical tripe (they do, especially for numbers "believin," "almost in love," "Namida no Ato" and "Kimi ga Iru"), they give you a soulful, almost gospel-delivered love song, "for." For fans of the gorgeous "Long Long Way" single released some months ago, this album is for you--the originality of CHEMISTRY is released not only on "Long Long Way" but on so many more tracks on this CD. Get this one instead of "Hot Chemistry"--it's a must-have! (On a personal note, I would've preferred the rap on "Grind For Me" to make it a little bit rougher than its current sweetness--something by Verbal or MUMMY-D would've been cool) |
