Sneak snippets: Iconiq - My season + Tokyo lady

That other Ayumi at Avex 'Iconiq' is set to release a mini album in September and we have two snippets of brand new songs...

Listen: My season


Listen: Tokyo lady

"My season" is the good stuff. It would have made a really nice addition to Change myself. I can't wait to hear it in full. "Tokyo lady" isn't doing much for me based on the snippet. It sounds like a really bad version of Crystal Kay's "Namida no saki ni". But I'll reserve judgement until I hear it in full, as the song could switch up or down in all manner of ways and wind up being a grower.

I just hope Avex don't take this girl and run her shit into the ground. Because she started off strong with a solid debut album, a bunch of hot music videos and a slick image. It'd be a shame for Avex to work her into a shadow of her former self as they've done with BoA. That girl is just dead on the inside now.
