A Little Bit of Everything

Yuki's first solo record is a departure from her work with Judy and Mary; less crazy punk-inspired rock, and more power pop/classic rock. However, Yuki is also experimenting with many different styles here, which clearly shows in the album's three singles: "the end of shite" is a blast of gutsy guitar rock (written by ex-Seagull Screaming Kiss Her Kiss Her leader Aiha Higurashi), "Prism" is lush orchestrated pop from Andy Sturmer (of Jellyfish and Puffy fame), and "66db" is Yuki's own song, a droning piece of ethereal, electronic pop. Additionally, "Rainbow st." is a driving funk number featuring rapping during the verses. This is probably the most diverse record in Yuki's discography.

This record is also unique in Yuki's discography for the number of guests present. In addition to Higurashi and Sturmer, Carole King gets a co-write, and Spitz drops by for a song, among others. Yet, for all the different people working on each song, the album flows together pretty well, even with the different styles present.

All in all, not a bad start for Yuki.
