Whoa, that's quite a statement to be making a week into the new year!
It's a very standard sounding R&B ballad. It's nice, but there's nothing special about it. Although I am glad it's not all electronic sounding like practically every song on Exodus. The last track on that album, which featured a real acoustic guitar, was like a sudden breath of fresh air.
BUT I HATE how Hikki changes what she's all about in her US songs. It's like....so fake. Her Japanese songs have all these domestic, honest feelings about "turn off the TV and look only at me" (hikari) or "when I see my weak face in the mirror, I want to smash it" (keep tryin'). Then her US songs are full of all this superficial, overdone crap like "boy, you're so hot, let's turn this room into a melting pot" or the "I cheated" BS in this song. I know those subjects are popular in US music, but come on. It's not her at all.
