All of the songs are all original songs except “Sweet Memories” which is a remake of a Japanese song (translated to English).  The album is pop overall.  “Silence,” “Played,” “Just Me,” and “Movie Love” are upbeat songs.  The rest are ballads.  “I’ll Be There” is the carrier single which also features Howie D. who is a member of the famed boyband group, Backstreet Boys.  As of this time (09/27/08), Howie is in the Philippines to promote the single with Sarah.  I haven’t heard the whole album, but based on the preview, it is quite good for a pop album.  I was a little disappointed because I really want her to do some RnB songs.  Oh well, this is a start, I guess.

-

I have a request to the producers/managers of Sarah (as if they will read this blog LOL!), please give her RnB materials.  She’s really good in this.  But again, thanks a bunch because the songs are all originals (except for one) and that’s really great.  I hate to say it, but the OPM (at least in the pop genre) “revival trend” sucks!!!  I can only name few artists who got mostly or all original songs in an album.  Ex. Gary V, Ogie Alcasid…. uh.. uh.. sorry can’t find any more right now… and these two do not exactly belong to the new generation of artists!   Nuff said.

-

The songs are pop, yes.  But the arrangements, vocal and musical, are notable because it didn’t conform to the Filipino pop where it sounds “two dimensional.”  In this album, you get the “three dimensional” thing.  LOL!  What I mean is — more musical instruments used, the vocals have some acrobatic stuff going on but it doesn’t hurt your ears.  Easy listening, yes.  I’m very sure anyone will find a song here that will trigger the LSS (Last Song Syndrome).

-

Haiizzz (sigh.. sigh).  Although I really want an Rnb albumfor Sarah, I still like this album and I’m GOING TO BUY IT!  Harharhar!

-

So for some last ditch effort — PLEASE VIVA (Sarah’s mgmt. company) BOSSES, MAKE AN R&B ALBUM FOR SARAH.  NEXT YEAR, PLEASE!!!!

-

BTW, curious as to what she sounds like in this album?  Watch this! (err… listen actually LOL!)

Koda Kumi – That Ain’t Cool feat. Fergie w/ lyrics

Posted by jojo8 on September 2, 2008

Somebody saw you in the parking lot
With a girl heading to the spot
Fergie Ferg
So now you’re trynna play me like a fool
That ain’t cool, that ain’t cool so
Kumi
Let’s go

Somebody saw you in the parking lot
With a girl heading to the spot
So now you’re trynna play me like a fool
That ain’t cool, that ain’t cool so

Did you really think that I wouldn’t find you out
I guess somebody decided to sell you out
They told me about her and what you plan to do
You tried to have your cake and eat it too
The woman isn’t gonna work that way
It doesn’t really sit well with something to tell
When you hurt me you really hurt yourself

Somebody saw you in the parking lot
With a girl heading to the spot
So now you’re trynna play me like a fool
That ain’t cool, that ain’t cool so

Somebody saw you in the parking lot
With a girl heading to the spot
So now you’re trynna play me like a fool
That ain’t cool, that ain’t cool so

What you gonna do
What you gonna do about it ?

Did you really think that I was really that easy ?
Don’t make me laugh, anata ni wa Tired
I’m gonna throw you out, that’s what I’m gonna do
A girl can have her cake and eat it too
I was just pretending to play that game
Ano tachi to not the same
Don’t come back to me like a child
I’m not you mammy, so say sayonara !!

Somebody saw you in the parking lot
With a girl heading to the spot
So now you’re trynna play me like a fool
That ain’t cool, that ain’t cool so

Somebody saw you in the parking lot
With a girl heading to the spot
So now you’re trynna play me like a fool
That ain’t cool, that ain’t cool so

What you gonna do
What you gonna do about it ?

Somebody saw you in the parking lot
With a girl heading to the spot
So now you’re trynna play me like a fool
That ain’t cool, that ain’t cool so

Somebody saw you in the parking lot
With a girl heading to the spot
So now you’re trynna play me like a fool
That ain’t cool, that ain’t cool so
