A versatile singer Customer Review Rated Bad 10 - 10 out of 10
5 years span between Hinouchi Emi's debut album 'Dramatiques' and this one, 'ME'. And this turns out to be indeed a departure from the drum machine-powered r'n'b of 'Dramatiques'.

R'n'B still has its place on 'ME', as it is Hinouchi's favourite genre and arguably also the genre for which she has the greatest talent and her voice is best suited. Thus, we get nice slow jams like 'I Love You' as well as faster tracks like 'Goodie Memories' and 'Chocolate'. But beside this familiar territory she revisits, Emi has chosen to explore a range of sounds on 'ME'. The opening track 'O'kay' is distinctively poppy, Emi displaying the versatility of her voice by going through an intricate vocal arrangement and employing her signature ad libbing, while being backed up by a nice, catchy beat. Her duet with hip hop group SOFFet combines rap with samba in an arrangement reminiscent of BEP's 'Mas Que Nada'... only a lot more fun, and a lot less repetitive. After this comes the excellent 'Kataomoi', another vocal feat in a catchy pop composition. Her duet with Yamamoto Ryohei has Caribbean influences. And finally, the greatest ballad on this album is the minimally arranged 'Ai Dake Ga', in which Emi sings of a love lost, a loss that the listener would believe drives the singer to the point of desperation. Her performance in this song is pure excellence, on a level rarely heard in ballads on the radio these days.

Emi's voice has obviously matured since 'Dramatiques'; her control on 'ME' has increased significantly, and so has her range. Add to that the fact she's exploring music styles beyond r'n'b on this album, and we're looking at a singer who can only get better with time.

This album is a gem in J-Pop. 10 out of 10.
