A New Direction
|
After her NANA releases OLIVIA comes back and brings her fans a new mini album with 6 new tracks. The album is more along the lines of her inspi REIRA (TRAPNEST) releases so if youre a fan of the music she did for NANA this album isnt too far of a stretch from that. One thing that I didnt personally like about the album was the inclusion of Wish and a little pain. Both songs were already featured on the OLIVIA inspi REIRA (TRAPNEST) and NANA BEST albums. I felt like those 2 songs, even though Wish is sung in English, shouldnt have been included and OLIVIA should have gave us 2 new tracks instead of 2 songs that weve already heard. But other than that the album was cohesive and is sung in English and Japanese. Stars shining out, Whos gonna stop it?, and If you only knew were stellar tracks for me. Dreamcatcher is personally a skip over track and Cloudy World started of interesting but then developed into a typical rock song. Cut me free was a disappointing track. In the chorus when she sings Cut me free I found it annoying with the high pitch of her voice being sung without any harmonies to coincide with it. This is an evolved OLIVIA. This album is different from her mini-album tryst and the awesome rock album The Lost Lolli. If you favor the darker music shes released in the past youll probably be not too happy with this newer release. The album is more mainstream and pop. Its not experimental and rockier as her previous releases as just OLIVIA, but its wholly inspired by her works under the inspi REIRA name. Overall the album was a good pop record and I was intrigued with this new direction she took. If you purchase the CD+DVD album then youll be happy to finally watch OLIVIA live in concert at in her Chocolate & Confusion (At Shibuya O-WEST) back in 06. The artwork for the album is equally wonderful when you see OLIVIAs critter drawings in her special art book included. The photo shoot for the albums booklet is of course beautiful and artistic. OLIVIA explained in an interview that the 2 doubles of her in the shoot signifies the battle between the mind and the heart. Interesting. |
