Bonnie Pink-ONE

This lyrically melodic artwork with fumes of acoustic-pop-rock-techno is something that sends you into a different world(...not literally of coarse!). But to be honest, it took me at least 3 listens of this "ONE" to realize that it's "ONE" of my favorites from Asada Kaori a.k.a Bonnie Pink. Not because i thought it was bad,and i forced myself to like it on my 3rd listen since it's from BP, but i just never really got the time to sit down and get a load of all its elements that make it an amazing CD. But when i did finally get to close my eyes and take in the music from my Ipod, i got a vibe from this album that told me, "Woah...Bonnie Pink worked hard on this ONE.and she did good"(i know it sounds superficial..but oh well). From the lovely-cheesy titles of the songs (Fyewsha,Fyewsha, Fyewsha & Princess Incognito) , to the deep meaningful lyrics in English and Japanese, Bonnie Pink's tenth studio album is filled with soft rhythms and dancey beats that made me want to listen to it over and over again. It sort of goes back to the aspects of her previous albums Golden Tears and Even So(which are my fav's from her as well). i just love Bonnie pink's voice, and when she sings in English with her accent, ooh it just makes me smile.. But i thought, When i try to sing to her Japanese lyrics , she'll probably laugh as well, just as i laugh when she try's to sing the English word "Joy". Even though i feel that Golden Tears will always be my favorite piece from BP(for now), this "ONE" new album has everything Bonnie Pink can offer to her fans. She never ceases to surprise me, and BONNIE PINK surely is a beautifully great POWERFUL Music Princess Incognito!!!(since her physical appearance seem so soft & shy...). This is when i understood that looks can really be deceiving.So EN-"JOY"..
