BoA is releasing her first U.S. album in Japan first! It'll be released in a 2 Disc-Set along with a new BEST OF. The U.S. disc will be released later this year in America under the title LOOK WHO'S TALKING.

A snippet of the second single I DID IT FOR LOVE leaked. And believe me: if this was sung by a Britney it would have gone to the top spot!! It's so addictive!

Oh, I love Scream :) I can't wait to listen to BoA's version :)

Isn't Scream the B-Side to Hot Summer ?

Probably... haven't bought the Maxi of "Hot Summer".

Yes, it's a B-side :)

Ooooh, I love Scream

Just downloaded the album sampler
Album sounds brilliant!

I like it as well. It's typical BoA, not too different from her usual stuff.

I like I Did It For Love. :)

Every Britney fan does.

I did it for love is currently my most played track on my iPod hehe

Has a HQ been leaked?
If so, could someone please PM it to me.
I LOVE this song so much

BoA - I Did It For Love LIVE 2009.03.03

I just downloaded this CD, the single BoA Album.
FFS this is amazing!
I'm so glad that I, for once took notice of one of the asian artists that everyone talks about.
I prefer BoA to Utada SO MUCH.

I'll write a review once I've listened to it a few times.

I downloaded the album, and ....











ITS AMAZING!

Please come up with reviews! :P I've pre-ordered the physical copy and promised not to listen to it earlier.

Welll .. the songs are all dance :P and amazing!
I can't write a review because I am studying for a audition.

MAYBE tonight.

I downloaded this album after watching the 'Eat You Up' video and I love it!!!

There's some really amazing moments on it and I really hope she releases it in the UK.

Seconded! I'm gun order a physical copy of this when I get paid. Lol. It's amazing. I'm now writing a review.

I found a fan-review from Buzzjacks' Kiseki

I Did It For Love; A perfect choice of song to begin promoting the album with imo. It sounds very now, with a slightly dark edge to it. BoA sounds great, the chorus is pretty addictive [I also love the bridge] and Sean and BoA compliment each other so well imo. 10/10

Energetic - My least favourite from what the previews made me believe, but I've found it stuck in my head since the full song leaked. Not the strongest track, but the verses are pretty strong. 7/10

Did Ya - I really like this, it's pretty fresh sounding. It's nice after two songs to hear an un-vocoded BoA. It reminds me of her "My Name" era in Korea. 8/10

Look Who's Talking - I like the egotistic nature of the lyrics, and it's catchy. However, I liked the live performances quite a lot, and I feel the studio recording falls slightly flat, due to the vocoding of her voice. Still, I enjoy it. 8/10

Eat You Up - FIERCE. The first time I heard it I went insane. It's my most played song iTunes with 350+ plays. Even now, I still don't find it boring. The chorus is catchy as f***, and the crappy lyrics just add to everything. 10/10

Obsessed - Awesome. I had a feeling this would be good from the preview, and I wasn't wrong. I'm glad they don't over-do the vocoder here, because I think it would have ruined it. 9/10

Touched - Very "Girls on Top" era I think. It's not a standout track to me, but I enjoy it. I don't really know what to say about it, it's just a good song. 7/10

Scream - From the preview, and hearing the original, I thought this would be my favourite track. I REALLY like it, but Iexpected it to be slightly stronger. Still, it kicks the Monrose version to the curb and it's good to feel some attitude from some lyrics. 9/10

Girls On Top - For me, it's the weakest track. Though I only think this because the original korean version is SO much better. It loses something in English, and BoA sounds stronger in her native language. Still, it's enjoyable. 7/10

Dress Off - I like this, similar to my opinion of "Touched" 8/10.

Hypnotic Dancefloor - Wow. This is the standout of the album, it's just SO good. The bridge is so epic. It should totally be a future single. 10/10

Negatives

- Although I enjoy all the tracks, I think they somewhat fall into each other too easily. it'd have been nice to have a ballad [since she's so good at them.]
- Vocoder. Unlike people like Britney, Ciara and the like, BoA can sing damn well, and also dance damn well, and do both at the same time. She doesn't need the vocoder, it sort of eliminates any personality.

Conclusion

I'm not disappointed in the slightest, and my hopes were high. I've been a BoA fan for 3, 4 years now, and this has been in the pipeline since at least 2005. It's fresh, edgy, BoA's English sounds good, and on top she's got a really good image to boot with promotion. Is it her best album? Not by a long shot. However, it's a hell of a lot better than most of the $h!t out there at the moment, and the fact we know how much she wants this, and how hard she's willing to work, she's got a determination and drive and that most people could only dream of having.

Overall - 9/10

This album is sooo samey and too generic and I usually like generic songs, but this one just made me yawn. I was very disappointed as I was looking forward to it. And I actually listened to the whole album 4 times.

Utada's US album, however, is very deep and artistic (despite most of the lyrics) and it's grown on me a lot.

Jesus, I downloaded this yesterday out of sheer interest and it's
FRIGGIN' FANTASTIC.

GOOD BOY!

I love this album.
I wonder if she plans to release it in the UK?

She needs to promote it big. She CAN BE BIG. Like, the next big thing like Lady GaGa but than in a different genre.

I say: WORLDWIDE RELEASE!

Yeah my mates say shes the asian version of Gaga/Spears.

BRING ON THE AUS RELEASE! Haha.

I love this, I have it ordered on amazon a couple days ago! but I've downloaded and listened to most of it, my fav is Obsessed that song is really fun

I watched her in some interviews too, she is really cute even with her broken English, you can tell she's trying

and Eat You up is so hot, the video is awesome too that girl can DANCE

Obsessed is my favourite song on the album. Really surprised how upbeat everything is. Just need to give it more plays before I rate/review it.

PS: I adore her broken English during interviews. She has improved so much since the last time I heard her (way back in December). The only thing that kind of annoys me is that her accent is really strong in certain parts of the tracks.

Boa's dancing completely shames her contemporaries "Dancing"
A brilliant video, not much to it, but still brilliant.

Oh, I wondered when the full video would be out.
Thanks for posting.

'Energetic' is the 3rd single from the album.

It was confirmed at the VMA Japan awards where she also performed 'I Did It For Love' with Sean Garrett:

Unfortunately, I find that track completely boring and repetitive.
What a shit end, to a shit era for such a good album
