Great Voice--Bad Execution.
|
Arashiro Beni's voice from the first time I heard her single "Here Alone" struck me as one with great potential. When I heard her full album last year, "BENI," I knew that this girl had a LARGE amount of potential with the right production and the right songs. Unfortunately, little of that has come to fruition with her sophomore album, "Girl 2 Lady." With mostly mediocre single releases last year, Arashiro Beni didn't break any new grounds and though I managed to see her in a few advertisements for handbags and on the cover of a fashion magazine or so, I think it's fair to say that they are not selling the best part of Beni--that's not her looks, it's her VOICE. Sure, we could argue that some of the top sellers in Japan are gorgeous and young, but we would also be negating MISIA, one of the most influential R&B and Soul singers in Japan. To me, Arashiro Beni had that potential but keeps missing her mark. This time around, "Girl 2 Lady" is half-filled with mediocre, ubtle jazz tunes or hackneyed Arab-esque repititions that do little to compliment her pretty and high range voice. Everything sounds like her most famous two singles, "Here Alone" and "Infinite." Granted, they're some of her better songs on this album, but why buy it if I already have it? Some of the better tracks are "Heart 2 Heart," "Into the Sky" and "SECRET LOVER" (which is EXACTLY the same as one of her debuting singles, "Infinite"!!!). I can only hope that she does more than talk-sing on any future releases. "BENI," the first album really showed she can sing, and "Girl 2 Lady," only shows she's gone from Singer 2 Boring Performer. |
