Some days you find out something you'd never really searched for, yet it explains so much.
Like the other day when I found out that the siblings in bless4 are Mormons. No wonder why I didn't really care for their album despite the praise it was given by people whose opinions I actually give a shit about. It all felt very saccharine in the way that typical Christian pop records are. It reminds me of when I was younger and got dragged to youth services and shit, and at this one church they had Christian pop music playing, and I just felt like even more of a cracker than I already am and deeply embarrassed for everyone involved in creating, performing, producing, and listening to it -- that's the feeling I got when I listened to that album.
(not with AKINO's solo stuff, though; she's basically like a poor man's Maaya Sakamoto)
