[single] 4 Hot Wave - 倖田來未

4 Hot Wave-Koda Kumi

Just two months after the release of "Koi no Tsubomi", Koda decides to spring a huge suprise on us by releasing a quadruple A-side single, hence the name "4 Hot Wave".

This sigle contains 4 A-side singles, namely "With Your Smile", "I'll Be There", "人魚姫" and "JUICY". All 4 songs are strong in their own ways and they are definately worth of being an A-side and i must add that all 4 songs are of different genres.

"With Your Smile" is a very happy, dance-y pop song, "I'll Be There" is a very summer-y, up tempo tune that will put a smile on your face. "人魚姫" is an aggresive rock song, exploding with vigour at every second of the song and "JUICY" sounds very hip-hop/R&B American number.

If ever you need to buy a Koda Kumi single, this will be it. It's edgy, fun and interesting, a breath of fresh air entirely. Kudos to Koda for experimenting with different sounds and genres on this single.

Rating: 4/5
