Genic

Genic (stylized as _genic) is the twelfth and final studio album by Japanese singer Namie Amuro. It was released on various physical and digital formats on June 10, 2015 by Amuro’s label Dimension Point, and serves as the singer's final studio album before her retirement in September 2018. Amuro began working on the album in 2014 and received over 200 demo recordings from her team, which included a diverse group of collaborators. Finally, she chose tracks based on their introductions and what was trending in music at the time.

Stylistically, Genic is influenced by electronic dance music from the 1970s and 1980s, and R&B elements from the 1990s, with additional elements of pop, rock, house, and electronic music. Lyrically, the album addresses topics including self-empowerment, fun, glamour, and fashion. Genic is also Amuro’s third bilingual record; the majority of the songs on the album are in English, with a few Japanese phrases interspersed.
