I haven't heard enough of this album yet but I am really falling in love with a few songs so far. "Heavenly," is a beautiful soft song with a string background and a calming drum beat. I also fell in love right away with "Neva Eva." This song reminds me of Shimatani Hitomi's "Prima Rosa" album that had a lot of spanish influences and more up beat fast tempo songs. As always enjoy :D

I actually heard a few Shimatani Hitomi songs recently and started to get into her music, first Dragonfly then ANGELUS made me a fan :D I didn't reallly see her stand on msuic, like in ANGELUS it was kinda upbeat with tropic beats thrown in there and Dragonfly is more rocky, but as I listened to this entire album I noticed she moves a lot in genre, sometimes she feels a bit Tamaki Nami! At the end, I've decided to just enjoy her music, and I think you will enjoy it too!
