Denzel Curry / Melt My Eyez See Your Future
Album Review
Denzel Curry / Melt My Eyez See Your Future
2022 Black Music Album Best No.12
Denzel Curryの4年ぶり、3作目。日本のサブカルチャー好きで知られる人ではあるが、現地盤では珍しいCDスリーブが日本語になっていて、タイトルも”目が溶ける 未来を目指せ”と記載されてたり、⑫⑬と日本映画にインスパイアされた曲があったりと、その影響を全面に出している。
冒頭のRobert Glasperによる①やThundercatによる⑪、さらには⑭などのJazzyでネオソウルっぽい曲や、⑧⑩などのメロウなTrackが新鮮なところで、これに加え、Trapやドラムンベースなど今まで路線のTrackもあって、サウンドは相当に多彩で飽きさせない。
また、女性コーラスの入った曲が多く、彩りを添えている。コロナ禍で自己と向き合ったというLyricや、淀みないRapも、もちろん聴きどころとなっている。
