Anybody get the new Utada Hikaru US version album?

The free video initially made me angry since it was just another R&B love song which saturates the music scene in the US already. But then Hikki's voice won me over and I had to admit that I did like the song. I was hoping the new US album would be more like Heart Station 2, but right now it
just sounds like everything else on pop radio. I can imagine the producer telling her "To make a hit in America, you have to have a drum beat like this or you have to sing the chorus like this..."
Arrgh! Anyway, this is just one fan's opinion...listen for yourselves. I'll try to attach the video.

you're right, i really like her voice but the song sounds a little too commonplace, like its just another one of those r&b songs you hear everywhere. but shell always be my favorite singer i think

i thought the same when i first heard the new single but its grown on me since i guess.
theres some good stuff on the album, its as far away from exodus as you can get and very generic RnB
