In the same vain, Kumi’s discography is LITTERED with songs of a genre which, in paper I despise, but the pieces themselves she’s released I love. I hate rap, r&b, hip-hop, but in the past Ku has been able to deliver it and affect me in a positive way that I never thought possible. So it’s not always so clear cut.
Regarding my delivery of opinion, I’ve said it before, but it’s important to me to convey the accuracy of my thoughts and reactions. I have a duty toward authenticity. I need to convey the extent as accurately as possible. Muting it removes my own color.

I respect Koumori speaking to that topic and I agree with her. Your opinion is not better than anybody elses, even though you may have more technical knowledge about music and can voice it in a more accurate way. Or the other way round.
Just to answer to your thoughts here - I didn't mean only being biased towards certain genres of music, also like you said towards patterns, techniques, certain uses of voices and so on. Such stuff isn't limited to certain genres.
E.g. you clearly don't like Kuu's singing technique she adapted in recent years. You're not alone with that, but there are also people, who disagree with that and like it or don't see a problem with it like now with Guess Who Is Back. It's not a problem of quality here, Kuu is working with a vocal teacher ever since she started experimenting with her voice in 2015.
It's just your preference to something else, mainly the different atmosphere she is delivering judging from your words.
