I take it people want another traveling? I'm down for that. But I also love how everything she's releasing is soooo... Utada. They're just signature Utada. Anata reminds me a little of Dareka no negai ga kanau koro. I'm a huge fan of Utada from DEEP RIVER forward, but my absolute favorite Utada album is still ULTRA BLUE. I mean, my phone is named Ultra Orchid. My PC is named Ultraviolence. My hard drives are named Ultra White and Ultra Blue. My email address has been heart.station for ~10 years now. I love the DEEP RIVER > ULTRA BLUE > HEART STATION era so much.
I'd love Utada to fill out the production a bit more but I'm just thrilled that her music is really building on a lot of maturity and confidence. I'm glad Utada isn't like, "Hey y'all! I'm doing a hip hop album where every song is about how wet my vagina is. And it's my most personal record to date. And I'm baring my soul on this, and the first single is, 'Sexy Texts', and it's about you know, how your man don't text you back and you know it's over and then he does text you and then you like back together but you know he be like playin' games witchu b'cuz he aint text u back lyke as soon as u txt him. and i put my heart into this... #bringbackourgirls" And then you play the song and the lyrics are like, "His tongue lick my ovaries/o- o- o- o- ovaries / His pretty pony~pretty pony~pretty pony~pretty pony~ up in my uteries / u- u- u- u- uteries..." And then people start calling it a uterie, and then there's the hashtags, and she be all over IG talking about how she's in Dubai rollin' them papers.
Our girl makes music for adults, and she posts people's left behind shoes on her Twitter account. So, I'm just glad we have this weirdo pop star who's still amazing.
