Hikaru Utada returns with the follow up to 2006 hit "ULTRA BLUE," the March 19 release of her brand-new full-length album "Heart Station." One month in advance of her album, Hikki also kicked things off with her lead-in single "Heart Station / Stay Gold."

In contrast to the moody, layered sound of "ULTRA BLUE," "Heart Station" sees Utada return closer to her pop roots. In this mode, the album features tracks like "Stay Gold" remniscent of Hikaru Utada's "Deep River" era, and straight-up ballads like "Flavor of Life." Of course, there are still plenty of deep synth tracks like the new "Neon Genesis Evangelion" theatrical feature theme "Beautiful World," so both fans of classic and recent Hikaru Utada should be pleased. Aside from the previously mentioned singles, the album also includes tracks "Kiss & Cry," "Heart Station," and "Boku wa Kuma," and more for 13 tracks total.
