Regarding the new material in re(CORD) that were not released digitally prior to the album , Rich & Famous features rapper Sean Paul for the 2nd time in Koda's discography .
Sean Paul was 1st featured in a Koda song ie. LOADED in 2014's Bon Voyage album . For Rich & Famous , it samples DNA's CHANCES ALL .
As for again , the video pays homage to 2 of Koda's past ballads videos ie. Ai no Uta & you's .
The 2 albums that Koda put out last year AND & DNA , I think they were pretty good especially DNA .
This time round unfortunately it doesn't apply to re(CORD) as for starters , I don't like all the songs that Koda released digitally prior to the album .
For the new material in re(CORD) that were not released digitally prior to the album , I like Merry Go Round the most as it's musically different for Koda in a good way .
The other 3 original tracks , I feel they're only ok for my liking . I like CHANCES ALL but I ironically do not like Rich & Famous .
As for k, , I think it's cute but it kind of feels out of place in re(CORD) while I outright ain't a fan of SHUTOUT .
Koda made short videos for GET NAKED & STRIP and it's real odd that for now no full versions of both videos have been uploaded online , likewise to be included in re(CORD) DVD/Blu-ray .
That I feel is a real shame cos I would have love to see a full music video of STRIP & it would have been great if Merry Go Round had a video made too .
Overall on whole , I don't like re(CORD) as much as I was hoping for . I suppose if I didn't listen to the digital released songs , my opinion towards re(CORD) would have been a lot more different .
re(CORD) has some songs that I like & others I do not like . That's the problem when artistes released albums on an annual basis .
But I know some Koda fans that likes re(CORD) . And music is subjective . For me when comes to Koda's past studio albums , I find that the albums that fans don't tend to like , I like them & vice versa .
With next year being Koda's 20th anniversary , I hope for once she will not release a new studio album & instead I think she should put out an all time best or another different kind of release to commemorate this landmark milestone .
Even though I don't like re(CORD) that much , I admire Koda as not everyone is able to do what she has done in releasing 5 studio albums within 3 years , that's no easy feat to do and for that , Koda deserves respect & admiration from me .
Here's to the start of Koda's 20th anniversary .
