Amaarae / Fountain Baby
Album Review
Amaarae / Fountain Baby
Ghana系でNY出身のSinger, Amaaraeの2ndアルバム。矛盾のある表現かもしらないが、都会的なアフロ・ポップという感じで、ただ⑩などは全くそれっぽくはなくて、後半はオルタナロックだし、R&Bや時折Latin, Jazz色も加わった曲もあって、曲調は幅広く、じっくり聴くべき曲も多い。
メロディアスに聴かせる曲もあり、Lyricでは、全編、恋愛関係を唄っている。既に29歳ということだが、ころころと可愛らしい声と、こういったTrackとの組み合わせは結構斬新だと思う。
⑦では、うっすらと日本語のSEが聞こえ、ラストでは”こんな曲、どうでもいいんですけど”と言ってるように聞こえる。
