Listen to samples of the NEW Utada Album - Exodus -
"Easy Breezy" - "Devil Inside"
Washblade.com - IN THE MEANTIME, a lesser-known young artist named Utada
has unleashed some sophisticated
pop with an electronic edge of her own.
Already a huge star in Japan, Utada has three multi-platinum selling albums.
She is looking to make a name for herself here with "Exodus," her first
album produced in the United States.
Like Duran Duran, Utada's music is heavy on electronica. When the intro of
the album first comes on, you might think you are listening to Sarah
Brightman.
Utada offers a dramatic soprano in the same school of Kate Bush. Except with
Utada, there are a lot of references to Japan and life in the Far East.
The musical climate she creates is sweeping and other-worldly. The songs on
the track sound like something you would expect to hear at a Cirque du
Soleil production. With proper stage sets, back-up dancers and special
effects, Utada could have one of those nouveau Vegas stage productions on
her hands.
And she sings well, too.
Watch out, Celine.
