Shafiq Husayn / The Loop
Album review
Shafiq Husayn / The Loop
Sa-Ra Creative Partnersの一員、Shafiq Husaynの10年ぶりのソロ作。6,7年前から制作と噂されていたが、やっとリリースに至ったようだ。時間をかけただけあって、内容は非常に濃くクオリティは高い。フューチャリスティックでコズミックナソウル、ファンクにネオソウル、ジャズ、クラブ、ダブ、アフロがミックスされた一大黒人音楽絵巻になっている。LA界隈中 ]心のゲストも超豪華で、適材適所で起用されている。少し一本調子なところもあるが、それを凌駕する魅力がある心地よい作品。
