YUI – It’s My Life/Your Heaven (a J!-ENT World Groove CD Single Review)

1. It’s My Life
2. You’re Heaven
3. Rain ～YUI Acoustic Version～
4. It’s My Life ～Instrumental～

When it comes to the music of YUI, you come to expect nothing but great music from the young music artist.

YUI returns with a new single to kick off 2011 with her 19th CD Single “It’s My Life/Your Heaven”.

The first track “It’s My Life” features an upbeat track that showcases YUI’s acoustic guitar playing but also features a good amount of brass. Produced by HISASHI KONDO, “It’s My Life” has a vibrant style because of the addition of teh brass. But it’s an upbeat single that is another fun, catchy track from YUI.

But it’s the second title track that won me over with this single. “Your Heaven” featuring keeps things simple with the acoustic guitar and piano and a single that best captures YUI’s style of music. The song starts off a bit slow but transitions to a more upbeat, passionate and catchy track as it progresses. Just a wonderful song from YUI.

And like all YUI CD singles, the third track features the acoustic version of the previous single released. In this case, an acoustic version of her 18th single “Rain”. And the acoustic version is just as wonderful as the original. And it also gives the listener time to focus on YUI’s vocals. Just a beautiful Christmas ballad!

The single ends with the instrumental version of “It’s My Life”.

As for the insert, you get the lyrics and production credits for both “It’s My Life” and “Your Heaven”.

Overall, YUI’s 19th CD single “It’s My Life/Your Heaven” features three enjoyable tracks. While I do enjoy the lively, upbeat “It’s My Life”, “Your Heaven” was the song that I kept playing over along with the acoustic version of “Rain”. Just a wonderful single and if you are a YUI fan, you won’t be disappointed by this single at all.

Definitely recommended!
