5.0 out of 5 stars
A CD for the Masses, July 21, 2005
Namie Amuro is one of those singers that can take a song and make it somthing everybody wantts to hear. On her cd "Style", she proves yet again that she has the pipes and the style to be a great artist. She mixes pop woth hip hop on this CD, which proves to be a great combo. The songs Put Em Up, Four Seasons, Namie Style and Indy Lady are among her best. This is a Cd for all people.

Good, Great, Godness !!!, March 31, 2005
Not commercial JPOP anymore...
The same old Namie Amuro strike back with a new style of POP...
She combine POP music with trendy R&B and HIP-HOP ... to generate a new sound of JPOP ... It's worth for me to spend my money for it ...
If you listen heard enough you'll find out that the beautiful Namie bring her style to the next step ... ahead any other JPOP singer... coz now she's an artist not IDOL anymore

This is certainly her best, best album, October 13, 2006
I was never a fan caught up in the hype and whatnot. I stubbornly hold out sometimes, just because... Before I purchased this album, I had only heard one of Amuro Namie's songs, "Something 'bout the Kiss," a song that- although popular, did not impress me. I'm not usually a good fan of albums that do what everyone else is doing at the moment, in this case, R & Bish tracks, a little rap and hip-hop, and a few true pop songs, but this album is a surprising exception. I actually found myself listening to the tracks again that I did not think I would give a second chance. These are songs well out of my favorite genre. I hate when songs are made to sound like rap, but end up being clumsy imitations. I don't know if the tracks herein are above that generalization, but somehow they definitely seem like more. I actually bought this album for one song, "Four Seasons." It was featured on "Inuyasha" once. Beautiful song. Remember, I was not a fan of Amuro Namie until I heard this song! This almost makes her eclipse the competition of Ayumi Hamasaki (who I've BEEN a fan of for a while), and Utada Hikaru. As for the rest of these hip-hopish songs that rely on repetitive beat, they actually work! I usually hate these types of songs. Tip: If you have a high-end system with less than 10% harmonic distortion, and the CD plays with better timing than the typical stereo, these songs will sound great. The repetitive, tight beat will sound the way it was meant to with a perfect spin and "perfect" decoding.
