Track Listing

  1. always
  2. All Night
  3. Stand Up ~Gomi’s Disco 2001 Mix (Radio Edit)
  4. always ~Instrumental~

1. always

Why are we still on this R&B beat?  She’s been utilizing this so many times in her career thus far.  In other words this song is just unoriginal as it gets.  There’s some strings added and the song is a bit more upbeat, but this just does not save the song from being a little bad.

2. All Night

All Night tries to be more Hip-hop, but that as well comes off a bit bad as well.  There’s the usual disc scratching and then we get into the verses where Mai’s just singing which is cool, I guess.  The BKGD vocals support Mai so she won’t oversing.  Maybe the song isn’t as bad as I initially thought, but still it isn’t anything groundbreaking.

 

 

Mai’s final single for her 2nd era seemed to be a little better than some other singles this era, but her overall sound is just running a little dry and I want her to move to new areas of sound.  always even though unoriginal, was an ok A-side and All Night is the same reasoning as well.
