I've gone through a slight LP revival phase lately so I'm quite stoked for their cover. And of course Ohashi Trio picked the most boring Hikki single to cover ~_~

Excited to hear the "Keep Tryin'" cover. That's one of my favorite Utada songs.

dang, I want a full album of Utada covers by Ringo! Utada's voice really isn't my thing so I thought I didn't really like her songs that much, but when Ringo sings it I'm in love.
I kind of wish she'd done Kremlin Dusk...

Never mind the cover, I'm listening to the original Letters and I don't get this song. My ears can't "lock into" it.
Makes sense that she picked this song, I wish I could break every single samba and bossa nova cd Ringo owns.

Totally agree. The song is too boring for me. I actually like bossa nova and samba but not her interpretations generally.

Wow this is really surprising to me because 'boring' is the last word I would use to describe Letters. In fact, it's a strong contender for best track on the Deep River album for me (which, I guess, if you're not into Utada Hikaru to begin with, doesn't really mean much).
I want a proper studio version of the bossa rendition of Sounan. |

Ringo's LETTERS is boring compared to Utada's though, surely you can agree there.
I love the original though, so maybe my expectations are way too high. Still betting on Ayumi's being the best one on here :-p

I really liked her treatment in the chorus so I wouldn't go so far as to call it boring, but it's comparatively sedate. But I do prefer Utada's version, that much I'll agree.
Ayu's is gonna be so trashy and dancey i.e. fabulous. AI's FINAL DISTANCE was okay but it sounds more like a faithful rendition on a singing competition than a cover with any artistic merit. Anyway, all this hype around the album has got me round to revisiting the lyrics to her songs again, and fuck me - she is one talented writer, even if I may not always like her as a performer or vocalist. |

I can guarantee that this, like most albums of it's type- will be a 2 or 3 time listen then dust gatherer.
Too negative or just too realistic?
