I think it's not creative. the acoustica mix is very good, but there could be another song, a new one. I think it’s not creative.

The beat, the guitar during her verses are awesome. 2 thumbs up. This is currently my favorite remix of any of her songs. The beat, the guitar during her verses are awesome. 2 thumbs up.

Just stating how I view it. And I'm not being hypocritical. I expected a new song and was disappointed. I never felt entitled to a new song. And yes I did want a new song like some want her to blog but there's a difference. Artist release music as a profession. It's what they do. Blogging is not their profession. They're not expected to do it and not obligated. As long as she remains a Songstress with her contracts and all of that then she's obligated to create new music. Singers sing as an occupation. Blogging is an extracurricular hobby. 2 different things. I'm not saying it's WRONG to want an update. I certainly wouldn't mind one although I don't mind not having one. I'm saying it's wrong to think she owes it to you and doubly wrong to berate her for not doing so. Alex:

After some fans already saw the Evangelion movie yesterday, all of them have applauded the song, saying that the arrangement of the song is very suited for the movie. On the other hand, American fans always complain although they don't know what the new movie is like. BTW, the Japanese fans are so worried that Utada might have done some surgery for her old vocal cord polyps or severe peri-tonsillitis.

Sometimes I think it might have been better to keep a lid on her Japanese catalogue and to market her as just another American artiste trying to promote her new record She’s in the rather curious position of being both an insider and an outsider at the same time.

The line 'This one, this is the one/Come on and give it up' prompted her to name the album TITO -Exodus was introverted, experimental, she wanted to prove a point about being different and showing her uniqueness -TITO lets her step out into the open to let people see who she really is, that's why she thinks of it as her 'true debut' -She wanted other people to do the arranging and trackmaking so that she would be free to focus on vocals and writing. Tricky and Stargate were chosen because American listeners are familiar with them -Come Back To Me is quite a straightforward song so she didn't want a cheesy storyline-based video. The dude in the video is supposed to be ghostly presence, can't tell if he's really there or not. She also admits to cheating, and says she can't think of any other song about a woman asking for forgiveness after being unfaithful ( I can! Try Jazmine Sullivan's 'Need U Bad') -The US market is conservative, the radio and listeners are not interested in anything outside of the US -Americans can't seem to grasp the concept of being bicultural It was a really short interview. Expected more considering the length of the slot Some points of interest from the interview:
