Cardi B / Am I The Drama?
Album Review
Cardi B / Am I The Drama?
Cardi Bのなんと7年ぶりの2作目。前作での成功からのプレッシャーにより延期を重ねたということだが、これを埋めて余りある23曲70分強の大作になっている。(Ultimate Editionはさらに10曲追加)。
曲数多めではあるが、聴きどころも多く、特に女性Vocal GuestのSummer Walkwe, Serena Gomez, Kehlani, Tylaが可憐な唄声を聴かせてくれる。そんなPopな曲もあり、Cardi BのRapが主役のHip-Hop曲やラテンぽい⑥もありと、バラエティに富んだ作品になっている。
タイトルにあるように裁判、出産、離婚を経験したドラマティックな7年と攻撃的な姿勢を詰め込んだLyricは刺激的で、終始ハイテンションなアルバムになっている。
