BoA Deluxe Edition
Posted 2009-09-01 (Tue) 13:43 under Music, Gallery updates
BoA is releasing a “Deluxe Edition” of her self-titled U.S. album at the end of this month (digital release is today).
This version has 2 new songs and one new remix (YesAsia states that there’s 4 new tracks in total, but I haven’t seen that info anywhere else). The new songs are “Control” and “Crazy About” and the remix is “Energetic (Radio Edit)”, which is the version used in the music video.
The Deluxe Edition is available on iTunes Store as of today, at least for people in the U.S.
All of the new songs are available for preview on YouTube.
I wish they’d release a CD+DVD version with the new music videos, but that doesn’t seem to be the case

I hate to say it, but i realy like her US stuff. At first i hated the idea of her trying to Americanise for the market. But I think shes handeld it realy well. Mind you,i’m in love with Boa. She could throw on stage and shit herself, I would still think its magical

Haha! Eww…
I also reluctantly like her US stuff. What won me over initially was the Eat you up music video (the Asian version).
I still think they’re hiding her voice too much though. She has an excellent voice and putting all those effects on top of it makes it sound like she can’t sing and needs to cover it up. But perhaps it’s not compatible with this style of music.
She’s releasing a new Japanese single in October though, so she’s still active over there. Unfortunately it’s some kind of collaboration with VERBAL, who also appeared in the vomit inducing “Universe”. Hopefully someone else composed this one.

Nice. I only got “Control” and “Crazy About” since I already bought the previous album. I really like Control. I had it on playblack for at least 7 to 8 times in a row.

Yeah that’s the reason I have held out on picking up the album. I heard the whole thing online a while back and only 2-3 songs I really liked and the rest were typical disc filler. I do love Energetic however. It just seems she is letting too many people tell her how an album should be made. Personally I would love for on the next one if she goes back to some of her softer ballad type songs or I would love for her to put out some of her Japanese and Korean singles in an English compilation. Or it would be great if she were to do like some Spanish artist do and release and album in English and then have one or two Japanese/Korean versions at the end.

I miss her ballads too. I guess we could see one of those RnB-style ballads on a second US album, but probably nothing like her Japanese ballads.
Yeah, there are plenty of fillers on her US album. I like Eat you up, I did it for love, Energetic and Hypnotic dance floor.
