Feel [CD+Blu-ray]

Namie goes very American with this album and uses more English then ever before. Personally, I feel it both does and doesn't work for her with this CD. It's not terrible by any means, but it's definitely not her best either. 1) This track feels like it's trying to build up to something but can't quite reach its peak. I'm disappoint with it tbh. Even the PV lacks. 2.5/5 2) Very upbeat fun song. 4/5 3) Very cute. Mostly in English with a tiny sprinkle of Japanese. Sadly, not sure why but when they say "let's start this day in a big way" it reminds me of another song which I can't quite put my finger on. 3.5/5 4)I've had a love-hate relationship with BBC since day 1. Just feels too unusual for my personal taste. The PV has a very Xmas theme to it, which is cute but feels out of place. 3.2/5 5)One of my favorites on the CD. It's sexy and incredibly fun for summer. Great dance track. The PV is awesome and TLC even makes a cameo which is great. 5/5 6)I get such a retro dance club feel from this song, which isn't a bad thing in the slightest. It's a lot of fun from start to finish. 5/5 7)Interesting track that I like. Just it reminds me of something, but don't know what. 4.2/5 8)Like it, but I'm not totally nuts over it. 3.5/5 9)It sort of reminds me of B.Spears meets KPOP meets US 90s song Kiss Of A Rose for some odd reason, but I kinda like it. 3.2/5 10)The first ballad on the album. Her English pronunciation is pretty good through this song. I get a real retro feeling from this as well, which I love. It's very sweet sounding. Also, I loved the piano touch put into the PV. Beautifully done. 5/5 11)Another favorite of mine. Sorta mid tempo upbeat fun song. Not sure how to describe it, but very lovely. The PV's gorgeous too. 5/5 12)A lovely finale to the album. I also felt it truly deserved a PV as well. 4.8/5 The digipak is very nice and well designed. Only tiny complaint is that they put the tracklist on a sticker on the OUTSIDE of the plastic wrap. The quality of the BR is fantastic and makes owning it over the DVD edition SO worth it. Plus if you click on Namie's nail on the menu it brings up a hidden Making-Of Video, which is SO much fun to watch.
