Kendrick Lamar / DAMN.
Album Review
Kendrick Lamar / DAMN.
2017 Black Music Album Best No.1
未発表曲集を挟み、約2年振りとなるKendrick Lamarのオリジナルアルバム。大傑作だった前作に比べると、コンセプト性もなく、現在のKendrick Lamarの自然体な内面を晒したような作品になっている。
曲調はWestsideっぽい哀愁調のものから、メロディアスなスローなど様々。どこか抒情的な雰囲気の曲も少なくない。
Rihanna, U2(!)などのGuestもあまり目立たず、Kendrick LamarのRapとLyricに焦点を当てており、そのスキルが一級品であることをあらためて見せつけている。
