'Sunao na Mama' is one of those songs that immediately grasps me by the throat and refuses to let go. It starts incredibly simply but evolves into one of the loveliest ballads I've ever heard, doing real justice to Mika-san's fabulous voice. It's impossible to listen to just once! 'Fever', in contrast, does showcase Mika-san's appreciable range - she isn't just a pop-ballad princess! This track easily brings to mind a smoky jazz club in the heart of New Orleans. Not to mention that Mika-san pulls off a very credible all-English song, at that. I did like the SUGIURUMN Remix of 'Sunao na Mama' for the other track on here. It's very dance, but not too heavy - there's a brightness to it that isn't found easily in driving dance remixes. It's as easy to listen to multiple time in that respect as it is the original cut of this song.
