New album (January 2023)

[Sky High]

She got fed up with the music industry, and expectations, imagine doing one thing constantly over 20 years. Priorities changes when children come into the picture. She is just not inspired anymore, it is understandable. We are lucky that we are getting new music from her, really. I wish her all the best in whatever she decided is good for her. If hiatus is the solution, then do that.

Seriously that's what most people who work do ... doing the same thing for 20 years or more. As for expectations, there are not much ... she is not a big star anymore. And nobody forced her to go on. She could have stopped a while ago like Namie did. And given the fact that she has been unable to release good music for more than 10 years, I really think she should have. Since 2008 nothing good comes from her musically.
