Album Review

John Legend / Darkness And Light

John Legend / Darkness And Light

3年振りとなるJohn Legendの5作目。Alabama Shakesの出世作”Sound & Color”をProduceしたBlake Millsに制作を任せており、いつものR&Bとはまた違った印象が目新しい。
固めのBass音が特徴的なアコースティックで太めのバンドサウンドに、Organ, Strings, Horns, PresussionをところどころフィーチャーしたTrackはそれだけでも聴き応え十分。そのうえで、John Legendが硬軟取り混ぜ、自由に唄いあげている。
良メロディーのしみじみとした曲も多く、味わいがある。
