Kamikaze kompilation

Pop label puts out undistinguished sounds

Various artists
Forward to You
Kamikaze

In this era of pirate CDs, nothing attracts a buying audience as well as a compilation album. Forward to You collects hits from 10 bubblegum artists from the Kamikaze label, including Four Mod, K-Otic and Neko Jump.

There are two new tracks, �Forward� and �Rak Chan Riak Wa Ther (My Love Is You),� which are sung by all the Kamikaze artists together. Both tracks are the kind of typical pop that�s designed to appeal to a mass audience.

The downside of these songs is that none of the Kamikaze artists have unique enough voices to distinguish them from the crowd. It�s impossible to tell which part is sung by whom by using just your ears.

All the songs on this album are predictable hits � after all, if songs by this many artists turned out to be flops, the label may have to consider closing the office down.

If you must spend money on this CD, Karaoke is the best option. That way you can see who sings what and enjoy watching the Kamikaze artists at the same time. � SC
