WAVE
|
Though I did not like WAVE at first, the album has grown on me over the last 10 months. My main complaint about the ablum is that YUKI has spent too much time working with composer Kouichi Tsutaya and that has begun to limit her sound; WAVE feels much like an extension of joy, shined up and slightly expanded. With PRISMIC, Commune and joy being all so completely different from each other, I found WAVE surprisingly unadventurous. Those are my biggest and only complaints of the record. WAVE is comprised of five singles (all composed by Kouichi Tsutaya) and 2 b-sides, released from April 2005 to August 2006, and only five new songs. The standouts of the singles, for me, are Honey and Clover opening songs, Fugainaiya and Dramatic, which are the freshest sounding of the five. However Melancholinista has a great feel to it as well as excellent lyrics (its one of my all-time favourites), Yorokobi no Tane is uplifting and Nagai Yume is really quite fun. As for the b-sides: Natsu no Hero is a nice throwback to her mellow rock tracks of 02-05 and Naked Sun is a techno song that pairs nicely with Nagai Yume. The new ones: Hey! You! is reminiscent of Brake ha no, but catchier. Aozora, yume miteitai and Youve got a friend are folksy, Commune-esque pop songs that are nice to listen to on a sunny day. Birthday would be the one song I dont like on this album. It was co-written by KT Tunstall, and though both YUKI and KT are creative powerhouses I feel like the song falls flat. Overall, I think time has proven this album to be a good one; give it a shot if you havent already. It's as full of YUKI's personality as always. |

Favorite YUKI album so far
| I have never been the biggest YUKI fan around, but after her third album I decided to give her another try because I liked some of the songs. I have to say that this album absolutely blows my mind. The songs are pure addiction, especially Melancholista, Dramatic, Fugai nai iya and Natsu no Hero. The only song that I did not like was Yorokobi no Tane, but the rest I all like. This album is definately a must have for YUKI fans, and it's something that people who love Pop/Rock should try out. YUKI's voice may not appeal to everyone, but once you get used to it you learn to appreciate its uniqueness and beauty. |
