She is singing about freedom I think. About 'she can give people a place of freedom'. The lyrics are in that direction

[jerms]

ayu can't pull off hip hop, but that picture of her on her site is gorgeous.

Well me listening to gospel music all the time and growing up in a lutheran church I really loved the song and I can't wait till it comes out

it is definetly something different and something I know I will love

[[taskin.ayu]]

I don't like it. I've never hated a song before. D: Maybe I'll grow into it like I did with STEP you. The voices are just too overwhelming for me, what screaming BOLLDD AND DELICIOUSSSS? XDD

Actually, i'm so glad it's not hip-hop or r&b.

I feel the same!

[ll moments ll]

=D it's very refreshing! it's definitely something i've never heard from her. i'm glad she changes styles all the time. i'll look forward to the full version!

btw, i don't think it's hip-hop. it seems gospel-inspired, but not really hip-hop.

hmmm it sounds kind of funky but still pop music XD would be nice for some exchange in ayu´s music but too much of that kind of music would really bore me out

'the choir' reminds me of BoA's fast songs! I don't like it at all

[BanFan]

Sure it's something different and new, but that doesn't make it good. It's not bad, but it's not very good either.

[jasjasss]

when i first hear it i tot it was lame .. but then after repeating it
the song is actually catchy and i got that song stucked in my head yesterday and today ... so now i like it =)
its sing a long song for me

[UvegotMail]

When I heard it, I was like O_o. then I was like, o_o. And now I'm just..

[ImpactBreaker]

Damn now I'm all excited to listen to the whole thing....the choir is driving me crazy to see how the full thing will sound like LOL (I'm not even into gospel music, but it's really cool to see ayu trying something different). I'm glad this is not another plain rock song, she has a lot of those and, well this year she has already released 2 great rock songs on singles already so it's not as if she's lacking in that part. And since ayu is always trying different things this is definitely a STEP forward.

[hamasaki_edwin]

I LIKE IT! it sounds so american-ish & it's a nice R&B song! can't wait for the full version!!!

[hopeorpain]

^chibinina is right right about the gospel genre..
and usually songs grow on me as I listen to them...even if I hate it at first. I guess my tastes aren't very unique

[Ayu_desu]

I like the last part of the song... the front part is a bit discordant/dissonant.
I had a heart attack when the chorus blasted out from my speakers... too unexpecting. lol

This is rather increasing my anticipation for her upcoming album.

WOW! i've been reading your posts!.... and.... You REALLY like this song! hahahaha! I'm glad!

yes i'm not into gospel music either.... but i do like to listen to it! (i mean I like all type of styles) and it's not even like this song is all gospel-amazing grace by mika nakashima-type! it's just a pop song with a twist, Ayu's music is getting better!... like u said STEP forward!....

I'm so glad she's trying new things and so far all her songs sound different and cool! so uplifting!

I still want a ''connected'' type of song!

[mooy]

I love love love love it. It sounds great. I was hoping Ayu would venture from her regular sound. I am excited to hear the entire thing.

And of course, there are those who either really do like it or try to find something to like about it.

Then there are those who get genres wrong. As I said in another thread, this is NOT an R&B song! It's not hip-hop, it's not urban contemporary, it's none of that. Based on the preview, it's a generic pop song with a gospel influence. If you don't believe me, listen to either Namie's "Concentration 20" album or her "Sweet 19 Blues" one. That's all similar to "Bold & Delicious."

Anyway, I like it. It makes me smile. I can totally see the PV done like the Sister Act movies, hehe.

Completly agree.

Well I admit that it is pretty catchy...if the verse is good, then the song might turn out great. But if the chorus is mainly the BG ppl yelling BOLLLLDDD AND DELICIOUSSS, then ayu doesn't really sing in it.
This year, Ayu seems to be into more uplifting and happy songs (Step you, Fairyland and now Bold&Delicious), of course I'm not talking about the B-sides (which by the way, I always find better than the A-side).
I have 2 points I wanna talk about :

1) someone mentionned that Bold and Delicious is ayu's weirdest song..IMO, I think Fairyland is her weirdest song. The slow/fast/happy type is really not a good mix and the PV is really weird....ayu and dancers jumping around in the beach?It's so amateurish.

2) Has ayu gotten rid of BOUNCEBACK? I remember people complaining about this composer and saying "ayu should get rid of them" or "they should go back to composing for Boa", but then they would go on about how much they like songs like Game, My name's woman, Because of you which are composed by the composers they hate. IMO, Bounceback are GREAT composers and some of her best songs are composed by them. If ayu really got rid of them, then it's a real shame.

But anyways...looking forward to the new single and album...
