Eh IDJ is so stupid. They had a good artist on their hands, with lots of creativity and inventive ideas, and they just go and dump her entire project. Then again most of the stuff that's successful on American radio is the exact opposite of that anyway. What's playing on the radio is mostly garbage. All they had to do was get her on MTV & VH1 cause as soon as those two outlets back something up, EVERYONE goes wild and buys it. I guess it's obvious from my sig/avatar set that I really liked Exodus. Anyway, I don't really care cause I really enjoyed the album (and still do). Also
www.akadot.com ran article about an interview that hikki had in japan and in it she declared that she plans to make a lot more both Japanaese AND American songs, so it's all good cause I like both anyway. I hope she doesn't give up and feel like she has to creatively limit herself cause people won't get it.
P.S. I also read somewhere that she plans to promote Exodus after '05 which I find kidna odd and unlikely...
