Summer Walker / Clear: The Series

Summer Walkerの2019年リリースのEP、Clearに、Clear 2として9曲足して1枚にした作品。その間は4年とインターバルは空いてるが、統一感は保ててると思う。
ジャケットには妊娠中の自分の姿を載せているが、その父親のLVRD Pharohとは既に破局してたりと、穏やかでないが、そんなプライベートを鎮めるように、穏やかで静謐な曲が多い。特に前半のClearの部はJazzyでアコースティックなTrackで占められている。
Clear 2の部でも、引き続き、音数は少なく、スローでメロディアスな曲が続いている。今回、Guestも少なめだが、Summer Walkerの表現力豊かでしっとりした唄さえあれば、不要だと思う。
