YesAsia's description of COVERS

Japanese-American R&B singer Beni shows off her fluent English skills on her first cover album! Aptly named Covers, the album sees Beni giving brand-new English lyrics to contemporary J-pop hits performed by male vocalists. The hits include EXILE's Ti Amo, Hirai Ken's Hitomi wo Tojite, and Kuwata Keisuke's Itoshi no Elly. See how Beni brings new twists to well-known hits in Covers.

It sounds so damn good! Ti amo is beautiful and I love the way she sings in English!

[AyUta]

im really excited for this cover album. her english is flawless <33333333

[Pieces_of_SEVEN]

I'm still skeptical about how good this album is going to be. Hopefully I'm surprised (in a good way).

[ayu_ready?]

I'm not much interested in this release

[KarenPang]

I still don't like her outfits that she wore in COVERS D: but yeah she should get another stylist

[setsuka]

I wonder if she even has one since her blog pics she looks so on point, I think she dresses herself even for her photo shoots maybe

but yah I kinda don't like the outfit either

[ストロボ・EdGE]

I can die a happy young man. ;-;

I can't believe she's covering Kanade (one of my favorite Jpop songs ever by one of the most underrated groups in the English speaking fandom, Sukima Switch), ****ing Kobukuro, Noriyuki Makihara AND Spitz?! This is just too great.

Fukuyama cover should be interesting too, hahaha.

[kakumei]

she added LA LA LA LOVE SONG into the setlist today, with Ti Amo. autographed messages were hidden throughout the hall.

;_____; BENI's English covers on Ken Hirai's Hitomi wo Tojite & Kobukuro's Koko ni Shika Sakanai Hana are so beautiful ;__;

I think it's really cool if not unique for BENI to sing them in English . She could have just resung the songs in Japanese but I like it that she took 1 step further & translate/sing them in English , it almost become her own songs instead of the originals

kinda curious to see how will the original artistes themselves react if they hear BENI's english takes on their songs , I will be very intrigued to hear their reactions on this

[PoetGirl]

omg, covers album bored me to death, Im sorry BENI but your original songs beats the crap out of them. I probably wont ever listen to that again X__X

o_o''' is COVERS really that boring & bad ? I don't know if you've heard the originals that were sung by the Japanese males she covered but from the ones she has covered & that I know , I like them :O

[PoetGirl]

I did not, and they are not bad, they are good and listenable but compared to her original work they are boring and waste of time. I want new album, not covers album. Its like mixtape thing in western word. You can listen to it, but only when you are bored and dont have anything else to do. Its just my view on 'covers', not that I say songs are bad. Oh no. with BENI vocals you cant make a bad song in literal sense.

[Utena]

^ well the concept is love songs covered in english, originally sung by male singers... What did you expect lol?!

I think it's a very lovely album, relaxing and entertaining both at the same time. It may not be her best work, but it's a nice add to her discography.
