Rickified: I said Keri's "I Like" remix is rather unexpected right, I think the remixes for this song is more unexpected since Utada went off the radar after releasing her English studio album early this year. It's a nice early christmas present for me!!! =) Backed by reputable remixers such as Digital Dog, Mike Rizzo and Razor N Guido (DJ Escape is rumored to be in the list too), it's definite that the remixes are gonna be HAWT!!! This song is indeed a DIRRTY Desire to me!! =P

Here we have first is the Razor N Guido Club mix. It's more to dark house, perfect for the clubs. Everything from the tempo to the structure of the remix is just right. The contents of the song is very suggestive though. NSFW (Not Strictly For the Weak). Plus Razor N Guido added an orgasm verse by Utada, *shrills*. Haha, quite a surprise though. Overall, a great remix. I guess the remixes of the song serves as a promo for her upcoming US and UK tour early next year. Selected shows!!! Wish I could attend. =(

I'll upload the rest of the remixes when their out. I've previewed a clip of the Digital Dog mix and it's worthy to have too. Enjoy!!! =) *Love the cover art too btw*

*Update 1*
The rest of the mixes are out!!! Good Stuff!!! One of the underrated best mixes this year. =)

*Update 2*
Including the dubs

Utada - "Exodus" Album Review

Jun 3rd, 2009; 1:00 pm (GMT+8) 0




Doing a review for an 'old' CD seems out of place, but since it's a hidden gem and requests for her remixes, I've decided to give it a proper critic. Exodus is the debut English language album by Japanese-American singer-songwriter Utada, released in 2004. It was released on September 9th 2004 in Japan, on October 5th 2004 on the US, and the UK version was released about a year after on September 26th 2005.

First Impressions

rickified:
Though the album was a flop in the west, sales were good in Japan. Compared to her usual japanese releases, this album is rather dark and unconventional. All songs are written by Utada and only a couple of the songs aren co-written with Timbaland. Not going with a safe attempt to ensure good sales, Utada experiments with Electronica. Does it work??? Yes, in technical sense, but not many would appreciate this album, cause it doesn't sound mainstream. Hence, this album is deemed as underrated (in my perpective).

Standout Tracks

  • Devil Inside
    2nd single. Rumbling drum beats paired with the moody syth. It feels different, not the weird kind though. Chorus is catchy.

  • Exodus '04
    3rd single. Co-written with Timbaland. Not your typical club banger sound. It lean more towards the midtempo side. I like the lyrics at the chorus. =)

  • Easy Breezy
    1st single. The infamous Japaneezy song that either fans love or hate. I think it's cute. This is the closest to getting a bright pop song from the album.

  • Hotel Lobby
    Weird title right. You can hear the obvious middle eastern influence though. The song sounds very intriguing.

  • Wonder 'Bout
    Standard Timbaland beats. Quite unique. Love the syth beats.

Final Verdict

rickified:
This album is very experimental. As you see (or hear), the singles are much easier to 'digest' than the rest of the tracks from the album. I wouldn't put this album in the same league as 'TITO', which is her 2nd english album released early this year. TITO is more mainstream. everyone could relate too. As for this album, it show thats Utada is able to push boundaries by writing almost all the the tracks. Even though it's not commercially successful, It has an identity of it's own and proves to be a cult favourite.

Utada - Easy Breezy

Jun 2nd, 2009; 10:28 pm (GMT+8) 0




"Easy Breezy" is Utada's debut English single for the western market. It is also the first single from the "Exodus" Album. For this release, she is under Island Def Jam records for her label, under the name of Utada, rather than Hikaru Utada which was used for her Japanese releases. The song was used as the Nintendo DS CM theme song and also been used in several Nintendo DS endorsements featuring Utada.

In this song, you can find the only two Japanese words that is used for the entire album. The words "Konnichiwa" and "Sayōnara". Fun fact. She displays her signature kooky lyrics as usual. Take the chorus for example. "You're easy breezy and I'm Japaneezy". That's Utada for you. =)
