[Koda Kumi] The 187th Thread - NEW ALBUM COMING SOON

[jean-baptiste]

WOW. I'm shocked we're not getting just a regular album release. A double album with a great concept. I like the covers and the preview of W FACE as well. Very excited.

[kumis]

The preview on the site won't load for me for some reason. Anyone got a mirror of it?

[maze]

there you go

[kumis]

Thanks. Not impressed tho, the track sounds pretty boring and I find the pandering of Western fans in the form of "yass bitch slay" so tacky

My expectations for this album will be low but I do like the cover

Those lyrics kinda made me cringe a bit too, but I love the production/sound of the track and her voice sounds so clear and soothing.

Yeah, me too actually. Was hoping we could leave all that extra shit in 2016. Lol

Releasing a new album is 1 thing but 2 albums on the same day ?

I like the concept Kuu has gone this time round for her upcoming 2 new albums . I'm intrigued to see which 1 I will like more but of course it will be great if I like both equally

@ maze / Edu , shouldn't you update the 1st post on this ?

Already using it, the B&W one is gorgeous! Thanks for sharing!

OMG I'm dying!!! The concept, the title, the covers, THE PREVIEW. Everything is on point. At first I was meh about the covers, but that font and placement. The pics just looks so mature and edgy. And the title was horrid to me at first, but the explanation makes me love it.

[a❤martian]

As someone who loves Ru Paul's Drag Race those lyrics are right on par with everything in life I enjoy lmao. She should have added YAAAAAS MAMA or something lol

EDIT: Random, but the preview uploaded onto YouTube sounds no where near as good as the one posted on her website. All that beautiful bass is gone.

Oh, I figured. I just wanted anyone who hadn't heard the song to base assumptions off of a crapy rip


I honestly don't even see what's so cheesy about the "yes, bitch, slay" part. At the very least, this isn't the first time Kuu has had some questionable Engrish in her lyrics. Bling Bling Bling, anyone?

[Ningyo Hime]

I agree that the 'yes bitch slay' is a bit tacky, I do like the actual song though, sounds good so far.
Looking forward to this release, you dont see double albums much. The last one I remember was Nelly's Sweat and Suit in 2004 haha.

[Corvina]

There's FC goodies for every version at the FC shops.
If you buy one of the bundles, you get three of the goodies.

I am so excited, it's even better than I though it would be!
And it's coming out in pretty much just a month!

[Corvina]

Her staff shared the preview for W FACE on Twitter with the quote, that it's a start.
Hopefully that means, we will get a new preview every few days.

And it's interesting - March 8th is International Women's Day!

[CeReSu]

I really love the preview, I missed Kuu so badly!
Can't wait for more!

[Toniayu123]

OMG THE PREVIEW
Hope its for a full song and not an intro os something...I think her albums intros are better than the songs lol Hope not for this time.
