SZA / SOS
Album review
SZA / SOS
高評価を得たデビュー作で一定のポジションを得たSZAのなんと5年ぶりの2作目。客演仕事が多く、あまり不在感はなかったが、長いインターバルを埋めるかのように23曲、70分弱の大作になっている。デビュー作後すぐに次作の噂があったが、レコード会社との折り合いなどあって、間隔が空いたようだ。また、そこにも関係ありそうだが、海上で1人助けを待つ姿がアルバムジャケットに描かれている。前作のパーソナルでオーガニックな側面を残しつつ、全体的には、音の広がりを感じる作品になっており、R&B, Hip-Hopだけでなく、Gospel, Rock, Folk, Countryなど幅広い作風になっている。曲数が多い分、Producerも多めになっていて、バラエティに富んだ作品でもる。30歳を越えたSZAであるが、歌声は、まだまだ、みずみすしく、少女らしさを残しつつ、メロディアスな曲での穏やかな歌唱が印象に残る。
