Hikaru Utada | Deep River | Album

Hikaru Utada’s Deep River (2002) is considered a masterpiece of J-pop history. Released when Utada was just 19 years old, the album represents a massive artistic leap, shedding the conventional, Western-influenced R&B formulas of their previous records (First Love and Distance) in favour of an organic, melancholic, and highly experimental alternative pop sound. Commercially, it debuted at number one and stands as the eighth highest-selling album in Japanese music history.
