Spillage Village / Spilligion
Album review
Spillage Village / Spilligion
J. ColeのDreamville所属、ATLのCollective, Spillage Villageのメジャー・デビュー作。結成は2010年と意外と活動歴は長く、当時のメンバーはEarthGangの二人, JID, Jurdan Bryant, Hollywood JBで、現在はこれに OG Maco, 6LACK(vo), Marian Mereba(vo)が加わっているようだ。
個々人でも活動している人たちであり、Collectiveと表わされていることもあって、Dangeon Familyのような形態をとっていると思われ、雰囲気も近いものがある。
ジャケットからはホラーっぽいのかなと思って聴き始めたが、3曲目あたりから、ファンクかつアーシーさが前面に押し出され、唄の比重が増して、俄然と楽しくなってくる。Gospelっぽい曲やスピリチュアルなところも感じられ、よくよくCDタイトルや曲名を見ると宗教と寄り添う作品であることが判ってくる。他にもJazzやFolkの要素もあって、個々の曲がユニークかつ、メロディーはキャッチーで面白い。
ジャケットの印象で聴かず嫌いしてはいけないと再認識させられる、そんなアルバムである。
