`This Is The One'
(Universal)
Japanese pop star Utada is making another bid to conquer the American market with ``This is The One.'' Featuring 10 English language songs, the album just might be the one that will grab the attention of the American audience. Her first single, ``Come Back to Me,'' is a laid-back R&B ballad, while ``Apple and Cinnamon'' has a catchy chorus that will get stuck in your head.
Unlike Korean star BoA's electronic dance-fueled American debut album, Utada's album shows more diversity, with R&B ballads like ``This One (Crying Like a Child)'' and mid-tempo dance tracks like ``Me Muero.''
