she's coming up on 20 years in the industry and somehow always makes something that sounds modern for the time (except maybe Utopia) yet sounds unique to her. and the fact that she keeps releasing music despite lower sales and a dip in popularity proves how great of an artist she is.

wasn't a fan of her recent singles but the album turned out to be better than I expected and made the singles more enjoyable

wow all her songs lately have been great. LIE LIE LIE, BE MY BABY, KILL MY LOVE are bops. Goodbye Darling/Cry Me A River took time to grow as they're pretty generic but quite nice.

The album is really good! And it is not too long, some of her earlier albums kind of are. (Still I would say that Femme Fatale is the better album if I had to pick.)

Ok i really really enjoy WHO LOVES ME and prefer it way more than Femme Fatale and Utopia. My favourite has to be OMG, Never let me go, DEVIL KISS and COLORS (i think its because it has a mix of her older style)

I've succumbed to the Spotify name. Wish something as simple as merging two artists were possible here...

New album WHO LOVES ME out 13.10. Should be good (hopefully)! Probably won't be as good as Femme Fatale though but oh well.

Listening to her old songs really make me miss her Urban Pop sound she used to do - there are so many good songs !

But don't you think "Femme Fatale" itself was an attempt of comeback to this sound? This album feels so urban to me - not exactly how she was in her beginnings, but an updated version of it, with all the improvement she made in the past 15 years (and with all the industry scenario's changes as well).

"Femme Fatale" wasn't a bad album but if I were to look at my own playlist, I have a lot more songs from her older albums compared to the more recent ones. The last album I really enjoyed was "LIBERTY" and I feel like after that album, she may have reached her peak - not saying it's bad at all as I still listen to her. She does create songs now and then i.e. 迷宮 that has her old sound but overall I accept that her sound is more mature and possibly catering her long-time fans she has as well (I mean i'm literally a year younger than her and been a fan of her for years haha)

I got it. maybe I can't be considered as an average fan of her, 'cause I'm really not that fond on "LIBERTY" and it seems like most of the fanbase love this album. I prefer when she goes more into the R&B avenue, and "Femme Fatale" is on point in that way imo. it has such an unique atmosphere, like a mature version of her early releases. I mean, with "FF" I can trace clearly the path she went through since her roots - and her "progression" too, if I can name it this way. I do really love pop music, a lot, but when it comes to miliyah, I feel like this kind of mainstream pop doesn't suit her as well as the R&B/urban pop does, and for me "LIBERTY" goes on this mainstream pop-oriented road. so, I think it's a matter of taste... and I'm a recent fan of her (since 2017, I think). for example, I discovered recently these remixes of 夜空 and 今夜はブギー・バック that are on this new best album, and omg, I'm totally here for it, haha I mean, this is what I'm used to looking for when I think of miliyah.

Sure i know what you mean and i think with LIBERTY, that was the phase where she was doing the pop/urban/electronic style, which for me (and maybe some others too) really enjoy because personally the sound is very unique and different to what you hear in the mainstream; what makes it more special is Miliyah putting her own spin to it. I'm not sure if you have checked out her older releases but this was what I meant about my original comment haha. The way I see it is: Rose -> Ring = Pop/Urban, Heaven -> LIBERTY = Pop/Urban/Electronic and Utopia -> Femme Fatale = Pop/Urban but more mature.

If you can't find any info, then it's most likely a fanmade compilation or something (you mentioning piracy sites suggests that :P )

hopefully! i'm thankful she's happy and not struggling with affairs anymore. this should improve her health a lot. she might take a year off to focus on being a new mother - she is due this summer~ https://neotokyo2099.com/2019/04/05/kato-miliyah-announced-that-she-is-married-and-pregnant/

Considering how badly FF sold (despite being a great album) I wouldn't be surprised that she also took a hiatus. But let's hope not.

Just now I checked Miliyah's page on Spotify and I internally jumped in happiness when I saw some of Miliyah's album finally being added! So far it's only, Utopia, Liberty, Loveland, M Best and Muse (tbh it's better than nothing as I have been waiting for them to add her stuff in for a long time)
