'Angel' thoughts

Let's bring back threads for each individual new song like the good old days.

Angel might be my favorite cut from this album. Will update later with complete impression.

Good idea!! Make one thread for all the new songs! Hmmm...I don't know what to say about this one. I really like the verses part but the chorus is kind of repetitive and annoying (especially those oohhhs). BUT, ayu's voice in generally turned out better than I expected and the flow is nice.

Lyrics are nice and it ha so much potential.
But sadly I don't see a climax and Ayu's voice is too weak to stand on its own.
Maybe it will grow on me.
Overall right now it's just ok. I like that it's different.

The most headache-inducing song i've heard of hers since Humming 7/4 and the intro of I Am.. Her vocals are just so off, especially in the chorus where it sounds more like whining than singing. However it's the only song on the album i dislike so i'll let her have this one.

This song is hilariously weird, I can't put my finger on it but it sounds kind of like a Beyonce reject. I don't think it's awful, just... so... strange

I kinda lost it at the part where she stopped writing lyrics and just HAHAHAHAHAHAAAA'd for twenty seconds

I still think the beginning and the chorus sound exactly like Miley's "Wrecking Ball"!
But the last part is absolutely beautiful (when she hits the high note), it saves the song completely.

I'm so stunned by this! It's so beautiful and I love it a lot. It has this hopeful feeling and I can really feel Ayu's emotions from this. Just from the simplistic lines of the chorus. You know it takes a great singer to sing the same line and emote so differently for each. Ayu did it here and the arrangement helps to elevate these emotions.

This song has a mysterious strange feeling to me.
The composition is weird, it's not bad but it's really Unique.
I love it.

So gorgeous and different for her. Her vocals have a style to them I can't describe, she's never done that. I like the long note and how it goes all over. Elegant, unique for Ayu, loved it instantly.
