Utada-Music Review



Hikaru Utada is one of the biggest pop stars, yet no one knows of her. Utada is one of the biggest known stars in Japan, and has recently decided to start over her career. She has decided to try and reach a new audience. She has just put out a second album here in the U.S called This Is The One which the singer says has a more mature and free flowing sound. She explains her newest CD as "Nothing gimmicky, just very straightforward and confident, with a sense of humor."


One of the hits on the CD is called Come Back to Me. The single really showcases her amazing voice. She may look young, but her voice is very strong and powerful. The song is a love song about wanting your love to come back. And the lyrics are beautifully written. Its a very catchy song but has a sound to it that is something you don't find in the U.S. It has an amazing piano intro and a soothing sound.Its the kind of a song anyone who has experienced losing someone can relate to and enjoy. And this song is definitely a good start to a career in the U.S for Utada. If I had to rate the song I would rate it a 4 out of 5 (0 being the worst, 5 being the best)
