Cat: UPJY 9212. Rel: 25 Jul 22
Pop
Originally released in 2016, Fantome was the ninth studio album by Hikaru Utada, one of the biggest selling Japanese artists of all time. The album came after Utada had announced a hiatus from releasing and recording in 2010, although she continued writing in private with her father and long-term collaborator Miyake Akira. The album strikes a more sombre, personal tone as Utada grappled with the death of her mother, her second marriage and the birth of her son, and the music took a more stripped down approach, with acoustic sounds featuring prominently alongside her more typical strains of RnB and pop. Continuing an extensive reissue campaign of Utada's work by Universal, this is the first time Fantome has been available on vinyl, and given the size and devotion of her fanbase, it's sure not to hang around for long.
