I agree with everyone that has said she is still experimenting. And I absoloutely still think she puts passion and heart into her music, it's just not as desperate as before as she is in a better place (emotionaly) right now. She is a strong confident woman, not a lost and sad child and I for one love that. I love that Ayu has been able to grow and accept herself through her music. And heal...Not many people get to do that and I think it's a beautiful think. As a great man once sais 'if I can't heal from my art, then how can you heal?' I think that's what Ayu has always been aiming for.
I honestly think she has had some great and not so great music throughout her entire career...And some of her more recent stuff is more out there than some of the things she produced before (Mirrorcle World, SLT et cetera).
I guess it all just comes down to what you personally want to hear.
P.s. I love her deeper huskier voice, it ain't boring or bad to me at all...It's sexy
