CRITIC REVIEWS

A great dance-pop record is a marriage of great songs, appealing vocals, and innovative production. Hikaru Utada’s Bad Mode fits that bill. It’s a classy and elegant affair.

Decades into their career, this J-pop superstar continues to evolve—both musically and personally. BADモード reads like a friend’s gentle reminder that we’re always coming into our own.

Bad Mode may tease its renaissance qualities more than it fulfills any of them, but it takes a fair shot at subtly shifting Utada’s goalposts while ticking the boxes of what is, at the end of the day, just another Utada Hikaru album.

Just a reminder for those who are unsure: the regular tracklist contains the first 10 songs. Everything afterwards, starting with “Beautiful World (Da Capo Version),” is a bonus track. I would likely rate it lower too if I didn’t know that. Thankfully, I do know, and as such, I think this album is phenomenal front-to-back. It’s the best record of the year so far.

What a beautiful project, no wonder it took that long for it to release. It is just so tight and amazing, with some really enjoyable parts. I obviously didn't like the Skrillex feature because I severely dislike him, but on this album it works (if you are wondering it's just the Kingdom Hearts song). Anyhow, the rest of the songs are very good. My favorite, I guess--from the incredible bunch of songs--is "Somewhere Near Marseilles." It just offers a complete experience, maybe it could ... read more
