Hikaru Utada's second English language studio album to be released via Def Jam has been slated for a March release. Hikaru has spoken out about the release date and has questioned whether Island will be able to release the album this early as she's still working on it. So the date could change. Push backs are the new in thing for albums these days. I think April or May would be better. March isn't that far off, and yet "Come back to me" won't go for add's on radio station until February, the song has no music video and there's been no promotion for the song or album as of yet. It does seem a bit too soon. I guess if nothing else fans can be happy that the album is definitely on its way. I want to hear this album right now! But I'd rather wait if it benefits Hikaru and her sales.
There's still zero info on who Hikaru Utada has worked with on the album, with the only producers being linked to the project so far being Stargate; who had worked on a song of her's titled "Apple & cinnamon" and who I think may have produced "Come back to me". The piano and finger snap sound is such a generalized sound that it's hard to pin point a producer. But I get Stargate vibes from the song.
Hopefully "Come back to me" will do big things. The song has a great deal of potential. It wasn't a song I was overly keen on at first, but I absolutely love it now. It's on heavy rotation and I've even got some of my friends into it.
