Bordering on boring Customer Review Rated Bad 6 - 6 out of 10
The song "Wish" is very well composed, and I think if it was sung by anyone else it might've been better.
Her problem is not that she can't sing, it's that her voice sounds like any other of the 70% J-pop singers out there. Her voice is indeed distinct like the previous reviewer mentioned, but in that it is distinctly casual.

There is nothing that is uniquely "hers" which makes the listener interesting. Her looks are beautiful, yes, but not anything new we haven't seen. It is again another "J-pop" singer. She is talented, but her package is boring and ultimately nothing new.

Good 1st Impression Customer Review Rated Bad 9 - 9 out of 10
This is the first single that I have ever heard from Sowelu. My fren recommended her so I decided to give it a try. On the first listen, I have to say I was pretty impressed by this singer. She has nice and distinct vocals that differentiate herself from Ayu or BoA or Namie.
The first song, " Wish " is a groovy pop track that is very very catchy. I can assure you that you will keep repeating this track without fail. The beat is good, the melody is sweet and Sowelu's vocals fit perfectly to give this whole song a nice blend. I was totally impressed by Sowelu at this moment.
The second song, " Baby I Want You " can be good or bad, depending on individual preference. It's a fast beat track that sounds like some of Namie's songs. The reason I am saying it could go either way is due to the weird beat during the chorus. Somehow it doesn't really fit this song.
The instrumental version of " Wish " is equally good and relaxing to listen to.
As a conclusion, I strongly recommend this single to every single soul out there who wants to give Sowelu a try. You won't be disappointed with it.
