    Default Utada's New English Album

    Her first single! It's really pretty, I can see it actually getting mainstream US play.

    Come Back To Me~

    I've been meaning to listen to more of her music, but I've still only heard the Kingdom Hearts stuff xDD

    I'll have to give it a listen when I go home.

    Oh, it's okay. She's alright I guess, I don't love her.

    OMFG YESSSSSSS

    I'm glad this is the first single she released from the upcoming album ... it gives me hope that this album will be a little smarter both musically and lyrically. I loved Exodus and everything, but man, Easy Breezy <_< >_> Although, this song doesn't have anything on any of the singles released from Heart Station.

    I agree about the mainstream US play, though. I really hope that happens. I also really hope that the release of this album means another North American tour, since I missed the first one (*crosses fingers for Utada United '09*)

    This song reminds me of R&B music from the late 90s. Nostalgia. She's singing come back? Wasn't she the one who divorced her husband. xD

    That's what I dig about it a lot. xD It reminds me of Mariah Carey ballads.

    No, I listened to that cover, and not even she could make it a good song.

    Ooooh! Utada! I love her music. I bought a few of her Japanese albums a while back.

    I thought her Boulevard of Broken Dreams was better than the original. She put a lot more feeling into it.

    I'm a fan of her cover of With or Without You.

    Yes, I am too. The piano makes me

    Although, I'm probably a fan of this cover because I'm a fan of the original, whereas with Broken Dreams ... not so much.

    edit: Overall, though, I think other Japense artists are better at pulling off covers than Utada.
