Party Queen lyric snippets on JOYSOUND + interlude confirmation

[tenshi no hane]

Thanks for the info~

The lyrics really show which ones are the party songs and which aren't.

It's interesting she actually mentions 'mama' and 'papa' in the lyrics.

[ayu_ready?]

So glad she's got some dark, downbeat material on this album <3 party queen had me worried we were going to get an album full of her cookie-cutter upbeat stuff.

I feel like 'Eyes, Smoke, Magic' is the "jazzy" song that was mentioned. I have a feeling it might be cutesy electro-jazz like 'Sexy little things', though.

In no way was "sexy little things" jazz.

[Suteisi]

Of all the songs Eyes, Smoke, Magic peaks my interest the most.

It's so different from any other titles Ayu has ever had...

When the chaku-uta first came out... the website described it as a swing pop song... so yeah... it's jazzy.

This. One trumpet does not make a jazz song.

There's obvious jazz/swing influence in the composition. This isn't an arguable thing, lol.

Hear better. There is more instruments than just one trumpet in that song.

But ESM doesn't hv a mv

UGH THREE INTERLUDES! FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF



I was really hoping one of those three would be a full song - maybe, just maybe she'll "mirror" them and we'll get full songs eventually? ;_______; They're just such awesome track names!

The lyrics sound interesting, but it's very hard to get an idea of the song just from a few words Makes me excited about the music, though!!

[elvesword]

I can't wait!!

[pepper]

^ Oh, don't be like that. It can be something crazy/edgy/weird I guess.

3 interludes is kinda much, especially when I don't think highly about Ayu's interludes, only few of them really stand out.

[LeeLeeNeko]

What were some of you guys expecting ?
She's had at least 3 interludes in her last five albums, and this one has ZERO singles tracks. Be happy it's not 4 or 5 interludes.
Seriously wtf. Guess people need her to release 20 new songs at once to be pleased.

I wasn't expecting any less interludes, I knew this was coming. But I just pointed the fact it's still too much and actually I don't think she should do 20 track for one album. There are many great albums which contain about 10 songs without interludes, like Ayu's MA. And (m)u would have still been perfect even without those boring interludes. Interludes aren't always needed to make the album flow, but whatever.

It's obvious there was going to be at least 3 interludes, the rumors even stated there would be 4 so I'm pretty happy. What I mean is that people should really stop complaining about the obvious.
And I actually like interludes so yeah. (except when the title was really interesting like "insomnia")

[kiseki]

I'm so eager to read the lyrics of this album.

[TeamAyu2004]

Me too... i want to know the rest and listen to the music, like yesterday!

[relmy]

I don't think I've ever needed an interlude to make an album flow, I never listen to them and it all sounds fine. I think intro tracks are cute though, when they're like Not Yet, Bridge to the Sky or everlasting dream oh, and Mirror, basically if they have vocals.

Ideally, I think 1 intro and 1 interlude is the maximum I can handle, anymore feels like bulking up the tracklist.
