Hide & Seek - Namie Amuro

[atommickbrane.livejournal.com]

I don't think I've heard more fun brass in a track in YEARS! The trumpets! TOTAL LOVE! Shame that the video completely fails to crunk it up but I think Namie Amuro is just a fairly blah dancer in general (pot/kettle, I know). Well - it TRIES to crunk it up, Candyman style, but... never quite gets there IMHO. Anyway:

Look, video club contribution, I can be a good poptimist too :)

I like the horns too but that weird bassy autotune effect they've put on her voice is HORRIBLE! (& normally I like treated vocals fine)

I like it, but I don't really like her voice that much anyway - AND I think it works really well after that strangely mumbled intro over that amazing brass intro (why was there no TWIRLING of BATONS in the video, talk about dropping the ball)

Yeah there is definitely a parallel earth on which this has some kind of killer steampunk cheerleader video.
