[Shota Shimizu] The 3rd thread ~ 7th album FLY (28.06)

[KarenPang]

1stly it's odd that FIRE will be released on a Tue & not on a Wed . Guess Shota wants to coincide this release with the last day of Shota Shimizu 10th memorial & BDAY Special live ?

Next it's weird that Shota's website has not updated anything on FIRE o_O

FIRE is officially released today , a day earlier than the usual releases

It debuts at #1 yesterday with sales of 2,053

Last I recall , I never seen a Shota release debut at #1 before so great news for Shota even though he wouldn't get #1 overall weekly wise

Knocks Me Off My Feet is surprising as this's the 1st B-side that Shota sang entirely in English

Before he debuted , he performed in New York many years ago . I wonder if he will return back there to perform once more ?

[KarenPang]

YesAsia's description of FIRE

Shimizu Shota commemorates his tenth anniversary with the single Fire, a smooth and emotional urban number characteristic of the R&B wunderkind. The single also includes the song Knocks Me Off My Feet and an acoustic version of his representative hit My Boo.

FIRE is pretty amazing actually, I adore the chorus. It reminds me of his poppier side a la GOOD BYE, which is his best song.

[KarenPang]

This time round FIRE's standout tracks are the b-sides

Shota really went overboard with autotune last year . Some of his best songs have little if not none of it

I listened to Shota from 2008 until now so I know . My favourite album of Shota is COLOURS

For once , it would be nice if Shota would work with Aoyama & Miliyah on something again

Better yet , all 3 should do something together , it would be great

[KarenPang]

7th album FLY will be released on 28th June

FLY will include single songs My Boo , FIRE , B-side milk tea

Songs Tokyo , Sorry Not Sorry & Because of you will be released digitally on a weekly basis from 7th June onwards

Tokyo itself is not bad even though I was really hoping Shota would cut down if not cut out the usage of autotune as he went overboard with it last year :x

Also , Shota should ditch the sunglasses wannabe hip hop look cos it doesn't look good on him

Some of his best songs that he created , it was just him being himself & not like this

I do hope FLY wouldn't be like PROUD part 2

[haraiso]

Not really feeling his monotonous rapping in Tokyo, and his usual excessive usage of autotune further ruins the song for me.

I honestly wonder why in the world he likes autotune so much. Especially since his genre of music doesn't call for it. He has a nice voice and I wish he would go back to just showcasing that. All his good songs have little to none of it.
