They better be paying royalty to her but sadly I am going to guess they are not and taking the whole cut of the profits.

I agree as well. I think most of the songs being in English had something to do with the generic feel to it for me atleast. While supposedly Namie thought English had a better flow to the uptempo songs of _genic, I think she realized there could be a better balance of Japanese/English and her new uptempo songs in Finally like Showtime/In Two/Do It For Love showed it and they were much more memorable.
While I too thought _genic was pretty _generic, the holy trinity for me would be Stranger or Golden Touch. I think Golden Touch best represents the old R&B era Namie with a little twist of the new Electronic era Namie. When I hear it, I think of songs like WoWa, Girl Talk, Funky Town, CANT SLEEP CANT EAT IM SICK, COPY THAT, etc. And that PV for Golden Touch was something else.
