A Ballads

This was one of the first compilation albums I ever purchased from Ayu. And if I had to describe this album in one word, I would probably say it's very surreal. The tracks on the album itself shift from ballads to rocking instrumentals. And if I had to be honest, I'd say that suits this album perfectly. Although it contains a varitey of old classics, it also comes with new mixes of her songs and two new tracks. Personally out of all her best albums, I can proudly say that this one's my favorite. The melodies she creates here are positively breathtaking. The music puts one in a trance where they can finally escape the depths of reality. It's very heartfelt and uplifting. I find myself playing this album over and over again just to hear more of this beautiful music. Not every artist can do that. But with Ayu's wonderfully composed tracks, I feel that even if I had to bad day, as long I put this album on and press "play", the music itself erases the damage of what happened earlier and brings tremoudous warmth to my heart. This complication is one of Ayu's greatest works. The lyrics are heartfelt and the cover's amazing. Overall, a terrific album to own.
