I have to say that this was my first Maaya album ever. I've listened to some of her songs before, but the first song I truly fell in love with was "LOOP" and that's where the song came from. Naturally, I loved this album because I've not heard her best songs before. And when I did, I could hear that yes, there feels like something missing from Yuunagi LOOP, but it's not Maaya or her songs. The lyrics, melodies, and Maaya's voice are excellent. She sings with as much emotion and heart as she did for Yoko Kanno. It's just that the instrumentation isn't what it could have been compared to her older works. BUT, but this is her first step in evolving as an artist, doing something new.
To conclude what I am saying: Her first time working with some new producers did cost some quality in the instrumentals of the songs on the album, but Maaya's engaging singing and more matured voice makes up for everything. I fell in love with the songs because of her talent as a singer, expressing the lyrics even though I barely speak any Japanese made up for all of the lack in the background music that has made her voice soared in the past. Not to say that her voice did not soar in this album, it did and it basically made the entire CD (after all, shouldn't it?).Did you find this review helpful? Yes (Report This)
