i dont think i'll get the love for black cherry ever.
the singles were fantastic (mostly), but it was just a disaster when they put it all together.

my album ranking:

1) BEST~second session~
totally fantastic, one smash single after another. And the couple of new tracks were great as well. fantastic covers and great dvds as well.

2) Kingdom
a little bit more laid back than her other albums surrounding it. very cohesive and mature. i wasnt too fond of the singles at first, but they really pulled the album together. its a great listen.

3) secret
just classic. its a little bit long (with all the bonus tracks and whatnot), but its still a great pop album. it really speaks of what kuu is as an artist.

4) feel my mind
soo underrated! a really fun and strong album with great flow. i love how basic some of the songs are. they dont try to be epic or life changing. its just good, fun music.

6) affection
im honestly not super familiar with this album, but i enjoy the sound of it. its interesting to listen to kuu as a newcomer!

5) grow into one
still, not really familiar with this album either. has some great singles!

6) Black Cherry
awesome and fantastic singles. but they were too all over the place. the album tracks were mild hit and massive miss for me. this album seems to just slam into you and strangle you with loud music from any genre it can find in the hopes that youll lilke something oh-my-god-please-its-soooo-desperate!! SHSYHSETJHSETJUAHJAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!

7) Trick
TABOO, Driving, Just the Way You Are.
Everything else is, absolutely terrible.
I have listened to this album soooo many times, trying to like it. Those are the only tracks I can ever actually enjoy. The rest of it feels too processed and over-thought. Shes working on a formula which is now stale. Im actually a little sad that I cant stand this album at all.
