Violet Sauce preview

Violet Sauce DL

I gave a brief blurb on the background of this song in a previous post but the story goes that after watching the movie Sin City, Namie was inspired to write this song..Director Robert Rodriguez caught wind of this and liked the song so much that it was included in the japan release of the film...Mr. Rodriguez can actually be briefly heard in the song saying "Welcome to Sin City..."...

give the song a listen for yourself, even if your not into or familiar with Jpop music...and leave a comment of two...curious to see what other people think of this song...I myself, think its pretty damn good....the progression of Namie's music over the years has been amazing..she's moved quite successfully from her early teen pop sound to a more mature,harder and sexier "hip hop" influenced style...then again, the lead off single of her newest album "Queen of Hip Pop" was very poppy...but that doesn't mean it wasn't good...
