October 31, 2007 Pretty Decent Stuff!!After the successful 'Flavor of Life' single, Utada Hikaru has a lot to live up to on the next one: 'Beautiful World / Kiss & Cry'.
Personally, I think she succeeded. The song 'Beautiful World' has become one of my favourites for her. It's kinda up-beat, which I take a liking to, and the vocals make really get into the song, well for me anyways.
Kiss & Cry is decent song with unexpected beat and opening that reminds one of Utada Hikaru during her 'Automatic' days. The samples from 'Hotel Lobbey' are good and make the song quite catchy.
'Fly Me To The Moon (In Other Words) -2007 Mix-' is something a little extra to the single, which is good. The song is in complete English, which is a little different, but it also has a nice little a beat to it you can tap to.
The downsides of the singles is what other people have mentioned; it's nothing amazingly new. After a while the songs feel like past songs. However, it isn't so bad as the songs that they are similar to are pretty goodl; ('Beautiful World' is similar to 'This Is Love'). Also, the song 'Fly Me To The Moon (In Other Words) -2007 Mix-' has nothing new do it, making it feel unnecessary.
Overall:
This is a good single. I think it's worth a buy as some of the songs have the potential to become favourites. However, they do give off the feeling that you may have heard it before.
