Well, while I’m posting, might as well do this week’s too, which is dedicated to the much-loved self-styled Queen of Hip-Pop, Amuro Namie! *cheers*
This week was the release of her single 60s 70s 80s and definitely one I was looking forward too! We got a taste of the single with two of the three PV’s last month, and they’ve pretty much been a daily listen since then. All three songs were featured as a CM (commercial) of Vidal Sassoon. Here’s the single, including that gorgeous cover:

01. NEW LOOK 02. ROCK STEADY 03. WHAT A FEELING 04. NEW LOOK (Instrumental) 05. ROCK STEADY (Instrumental) 06. WHAT A FEELING (Instrumental) |
NEW LOOK is the 60’s themed song (take a look at the VS commercial over at youtube for a sample), and was based off of The Supreme’s “Baby Love”. It is a flirty, fun, and intensely catchy song, and I think the PV is adorable!
ROCK STEADY represents the 70’s theme, and features the amazing Aretha Franklin same-titled song at the beginning and for inspiration. This is my favorite of the three songs and show Namie definitely still has voice, even when she doesn’t show it. Also, her hair is gorgeous and I WANT that blue dress/shirt/thingy! Take a look at the VS commercial over on youtube to see what I’m talking about!
Finally, WHAT A FEELING took a few listens to grow on me, and I definitely prefer the chorus, but I really do like this song and the robots in the PV crack me up! This song features Irene Cara’s “What A Feeling” and you can preview it here on youtube!
