Seriously, she has talked about all of this already. You'd all save a lot of speculation if you read her own words! I'll even give you the link: http://utadaunited.com/blog/?page_id=307 |
Thanks for clearing this up! I'm a casual listener, of hers, so I went with speculation. :]
I do agree whole heartedly that there is a stigma here that concludes American music to just the Top 40 of Hip Hop/Pop. America is blessed with how diverse our music genres are, and how accessible even low key artists are these days. It's sad to see some people just generalize it and make it seem so one dimensional.
Makes one believe that those who claim to understand the American music industry really do not understand it at all. To those people I really suggest you research into American artists and you'll easily find songs that have true music and art attached to them.
The gift of excellent music isn't defined or supplied by one country or language.

I don't agree with this statement completely; I do see where you're coming from with it though. I think that to get proper attention one shouldn't have to just follow the trend. Proper attention comes when someone is noticed for breaking the mold and daring to be different (which is very hard, I admit).
DDD, seriously, that boat of sass has sailed. Get new material. It's a discussion, why must you constantly act so arrogant?
