Ah I see what you mean. The album was definitely a bit awkward. But I still think when it came out I didn't think "she's now letting go of hip-hop!" To me, since I didn't even notice she was changing her sound, it was a seamless transition. But I definitely see your point.

I actually haven't taken time to listen to her old stuff recently! I've been trying so hard to get into everything after BRIGHTER DAY. I think taking some time to listen to her old stuff might make me appreciate her new stuff.

I absolutely loved Uncontrolled and FEEL, so _genic let me down a bit since I wasn't too fond of it. I'm not sure if I want her to go back to hip-hop or still experiment with electro-pop/EDM. I definitely welcome any hip-hop music, but I'm curious to see what else Namie and her team have in store.
