KATE “Wide Edge Eyes” Edition

Joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure, plus loveKimura Kaera

Kimura Kaela / Joy, Anger, Sorrow, and Pleasure plus Love
Joy, anger, sorrow, and pleasure, plus loveKimura Kaera

The sharp guitar sound from the intro is striking.

This 2011 single, her first after giving birth, is a rock tune that, true to its title, impressively lays out an aggressive message about various emotions—joy, anger, and more—and about love.

Rather than a “quiet” love song, it’s one of “motion,” expressing Kaela Kimura’s unique vision of love in a cool way.

I’m in awe of the boldness of putting a poppy title up front while pursuing something like the vital force at the root of affection and of the full range of human emotions.
