Since 1988, Dreams Come True has been working to be a success. Ten years later, they have sold over 25 million records. The secret? Lead singer, Miwa, won't tell, but maybe listening to their new record, "Sing or Die", will reveal the unique styles of this fresh Japanese singer. A lush blend of pop, funk, and jazz, "Sing or Die" is another step towards Miwa's dream of success, and Americans are about to get a taste of something different, and I have a feeling it will be recieved very well. From the pop rhythms of "Peace!", to the tropical "Kelo Kelo", this album is a good effort and is a pleasure to listen to.
