[Koda Kumi] The 166th Thread – 11th Album 「Bon Voyage」 (02/26) + LIVE TOUR 2014

[SKYia]

I hope LOADED feat. Sean Paul won't be another cover, so far Sean Paul only seems to use samples of other songs, check this video:



It's not in English but there's lots of Sean's music and it gives sources to the original songs. I only know him from the 'I'm still in love with you' which was also a cover...

[milky_way]

lol Sean Paul

[Lady~Deviance]

I don't get the pessimistic reactions people give when an artist collaborates with someone who isn't currently charting on Billboard. These artists paid their dues and can't stay in the public eye musically forever and there's nothing wrong with that.

As long as the collaboration song sounds pleasing, I could care less about who participates in collaboration songs. Relevancy≠Quality

The tracklist looks promising. I really do hope Kuu keeps her word and delivers a more upbeat and consistent album.

[Gustavopc]

While I also don't care about how succesful the other artist is right now, I wish I could understand why Kuu is collabing on her last three albums with western singers that are so random for me and don't add much in the song imo... It's like she's featuring they just for the sake of having an overseas feat., which is pointless for me |: Not that I'll hate the song, but still it feels a bit weird for me. I'd rather having her collabing with new Japanese artists. But then I don't own her career, so I'll still keep on listening to the songs no matter what, it just bothers me a bit

[kaled kalil]

^ They must be on the original demos and she decided to keep them. I mean, what Omarion is talking about in Slow is totally the opposite that Kuu is singing there. lol
And she probably thinks that it adds a cool feeling having western singers in the record with her.

To me those collaborations are kinda cool, I don't have a problem with any one them (except Passing By, that guy's voice is atrocious). And we got some awful collaborations with japanese singers too (yeah, I'm talking about PLC).

[emi♡]

idk I feel like the whole reggae sound from Sean Paul will probably fit the album lol

I would have her collab with Japanese artists...but....the truth is, a lot of them suck :/

[kaled kalil]

What I miss the most is a collaboration with a female singer...

[happiholic★]

^This.

^Wasnt he the guy that had that single hit Mambo No.9 I used to hear everywhere like over a decade ago?

also, i agree with emi on the majority of Japanese artists sucking.

Plus every time I see "U KNOw" all I keep thinking of is that guy from TVXQ, and the title "Crank Tha Bass" reminds me of that Britney Spears song from her Femme Fatale album for some reason.

[KuuXAyu-fan]

I hope that for the 15th anniversary next year we get a good collab single. Kuu x Ayu collab single plz.

[Luja.]

A feat. with Sean Paul? That's awesome to me actually. I think their voices will fit together just fine. Plus I wouldn't say he's become "irrelevant" at all, he's still charting and touring.
I really like his voice and the easy dancey feel so many of his songs have. Plus, has anyone of you ever heard Simple Plan's 'Summer Paradise' with him as a feat.? Such a great song. And I think it has the same feeling as Bon Voyage will have, judging from the promo. (Though I didn't listen to SMYH and other previews yet because I want to wait for the finished album to arrive at my place. )

Excited for the album though. I love the concept so far.

I can already imagine the meltdowns if this comes true tbh. Of course, I would love to hear what it would sound like because these two are so different.

No new PV neither new song.

[~StarCatcher~]

Wow those covers are very different this time, but hot*-*
I love her brown eyes!!!

Maybe there will be a new song, because there are only 9 tracks listed and a full of 16 tracks is mentioned.

Nice songs by now♥

[Benikari47]

She looks smoking on the Driving Hits covers! Some of her best shoots are always associated with these remix albums.

I'm liking the tracklist as well, CRANK THA BASS in particular gets me excited!

[tsumekaze_]

WOOOOO EXCITED! I recently explored the world of kuu's remix albums and I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF THEM. half of the songs are even better than the original ones, and the originals usually rock so yeah. She looks gorgeous++1

[Minttulatte]

She's so elegant in those DH6 covers♥ I can't even express how much more excited I can get lol. Oh God, Pearl Moon remix? I've always wanted that song to have a new version♥
