Album Review

Jhené Aiko / Chilombo

2020 Black Music Best No.14

Jhené Aiko / Chilombo

Jhené Aikoの3年ぶりの3作目。10代半ばから活動をはじめ、現在(2020年)32歳になるので、経歴は長く、ここ数年でメジャーな存在になりつつある。
お母さんが日系人とのことで、名前やお顔からは日本的なものを感じるが、音楽に和風なものは含まれていない。またハワイ島で制作され、CDジャケットもハワイで撮影されているようだが、現地の音楽を取り入れてるわけでもなさそうだ。
FisticuffsとLejkeysの作り出すサウンドは、静謐で揺蕩うようなものが多く、ナチュラルで幻想的。抑え気味で語り掛けるように唄うVocalとの相性が良い。
なお、声質はAriana Grandeに似ている。(ただし、こちらが先輩)。4年前にDuo作をリリースしたEx彼氏のBig SeanをGuestに迎えたことも話題になっている。
