Genic (original) (raw)

dbo:abstract

Genic (stylized as _genic) is the twelfth and final studio album and final bilingual (English–Japanese) album by Japanese recording artist Namie Amuro. It was released on June 10, 2015 in three physical formats, and for digital consumption; additionally, it serves as the singer's final studio record since her retirement announcement for September 2018. The album was handled by Western producers, including David Guetta, Bardur Haberg, Joacim "Twin" Persson, Sophie, amongst others. Stylistically, Genic divides its sound between electronic dance music and R&B, and focuses on themes of self-empowerment, having fun, glamour and fashion. Genic received positive reviews from music critics. Majority of the reviews praised Genic's production values and mixture of genres, although Amuro's English deliveries and certain collaborations were noted as flaws to the album. Additionally, the album was received nominations and accolades for its success in various forms. Commercially, the album was a success in Japan, peaking at number one on the Oricon Albums Chart and Billboard Chart. It was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) for shipments of 250,000 units. Although no physical singles were released, Amuro's rendition of Guetta's track "What I Did for Love" was distributed as a promotional recording on July 1, 2015. In order to promote the album, Amuro shot music videos for the album material "Golden Touch", "Birthday", "Fashionista", "B Who I Want 2 B", "Stranger" and "Anything". Amuro performed the album's content on her Livegenic and her annual Live Style concert tours, which traveled throughout Japan; a live DVD with the same name was distributed the following year. (en)

dbp:quote

“Songs were often translated opposite of what I intended. I’ll take up the challenge of solving that puzzle because I also have the desire to rattle people more . Also, I think there are puzzles which only the people who bought the album can solve!” (en)
“Namie Amuro and the record label reached out to me, to create something more than just her singing and performing in front of camera, which is the case for most of her videos [...] She gave our team the complete freedom, which was amazing. She and the label immediately grasped the ideas when we presented to them, and gave us full autonomy of the project.” (en)
