———————————————————————————–
Just to note, Free & Easy came out AFTER I am… so Naturally and Still Alone are considered older tracks on the single. (I still have to review the album, though. At least Ayu does not release any re-cut singles!) Free & Easy is the only original song as well as the A-side.

Free & Easy has a very serene and long introduction that makes the song stand out compared to her other phenomenal songs. I loved the parts when Ayu’s vocals would come out strong and loud and then gradually go back soft and quiet. Her vocals suited the arrangement really well and gave off a feeling different from her past releases.

Personal Rating: 5/5
