Track Listing

  1. Stand Up
  2. Double Rainbow
  3. YES or NO ~TRANCE Continental Remix~
  4. Stand Up ~Instrumental~

1. Stand Up

Finally, something that makes me relike Mai-K again.  Stand Up is what you call an upbeat track, maybe summery perhaps?  Mai sounds like she’s definitly letting loose and having a lot of fun.  There are BKGD vocals this time around and they harmonize alright and Mai even though she sounds a little stuffy, she sounds otherwise fine.  Another breakout track from her.

2. Double Rainbow

In some respects, this was quite obvious.  It’s another one of Mai-K’s questionable ballad tracks.  It’s weird that the verses has her singing so quietly that it’s barely audible and gets loud in the chorus which is quite nice calm and shows Mai having more control.  It’s an alright track thought, I’ll give it that.  Oh yea the BKGD vocals helping in the chorus sucks so much because they warp their notes terribly.

3. YES or NO ~TRANCE Continental Remix~

Why am I featuring this track you ask?  Well, the original has not been seen on an actual single nor an album, which surprises me.  I think it was an analog release or something along those lines which intrigued me.  The remix sounds like a MELL track which is beyond strange for me.  Mai’s singing is quite cool with this style and how she holds her notes are crazy good.  This is a remix though, so the music is more important than Mai so it’s alright to dance to.

 

 

Mai, you finally won me back with this single.  Stand Up was a great acoustically driven pop track and Double Rainbow was a nice ballad and the remix isn’t too horrible for being for a track that hasn’t seen the day of light in her official discography.
