I know some fans are probably already talking out of the side of their mouth about these album covers. She looks boring. They just moved the camera up from the Freedom album cover! Why is a bitch wearing flannel in the Summer? What is this Daisy Duke looking ass mess!? But I really like them. I think this is the best album cover Crystal has come with in EVER. I'm all about the CD only version  (on the right). This seems to be a trend with me when it comes to J-releases. I always think the CD only album covers look better.

  1. Forever
  2. Be mine
  3. Take it outside
  4. Yo Yo
  5. Come back to me
  6. What we do
  7. Superman
  8. Memory box
  9. ハルアラシ | Haru arashi
  10. Fly high
  11. デリシャスな金曜日 | Delicious na kinyoubi
  12. Rising sun
  13. ハルアラシ |  Haru arashi  (Kazuhiko Maeda Remix)
  14. Forever (Kazuhiko Maeda Remix)

Would you just kill yo'self if "Come back to me" was a cover of Hikaru Utada's song? It's not even up for debate that Crystal would shit all over it and leave Hikaru's Nintendo DS broken on the floor.

I could have done with the last 2 tracks being all new material just to throw it back to All yours and give me 14 tracks of crack, but I'm just being a picky 'n greedy bastard. I'm not sure why this Kuzuhiko felt that "Haru arashi" needed a remix though. And despite not hearing "Forever" in full as I write this, I'm already mad he f**ked with my Brazilian / Kenyan / The Lion King Summer crack "Forever".

I have more faith in this album than I do religion, because I like everything I've heard from it so far and Crystal seems to be in a really good place right now. There's a sense of freedom, energy and activeness in everything she's done since leaving Sony. As a fan it's sickeningly heart warming to see. It's almost like seeing a whole new Crystal emerge. I've not felt this touched since witnessing Commander Shepard kiss Kaidan and tell him he'd wait for him after he goes handles some business with some aliens in Mass effect 3.

Crystal Kay's 10 studio album Vivid is released on June 27, and you'd better go buy two copies of that shit when it drops because in the words of Missy Elliott from her 1999 thesis "All n my grill" 'A chick's gotta live'. Namie will kill Crystal in sales. But the three and a half songs I've heard from Vivid shit all over the 10 I've heard from Namie's upcoming album.
