Drake / More Life
2017 Black Music Album Best No.13
お馴染みDrakeの1年振りの作品。本人はAlbumとMixtapeの間に位置するPlaylistと表現しており、22曲81分と、今までになくバラエティに富んだ作品になっている。特に前半はPopで聴きやすい曲も多数。GrimeよりSkepta、GiggsやNana RoguesみたいなUKのProducerが加わったり、NigeriaのDJ, Black CoffeeやMoodymann、Hiatus Kaiyoteを引用したりと、おいしいところを取り入れている。その代わりに盟友Noah “40” Shebib参加曲は減っている。後半になると、Drakeらしいアンビエントで茫洋としてダウナーのものが増えてくるが、前作から引き続きのダンスホールっぽい曲も。また、RapはGuestに任せ、本人はいよいよほぼ唄のみになってしまった。Playlistとはいえ、流しっぱなしにしては勿体ない作品である。
