Travis Scott / UTOPIA

2023 Black Music Best No.14

Travis Scott / UTOPIA

自身主催のフェスで死亡事故を起こし、当時の対応も良くなかったこともあって、ここ3年、活動が自粛気味になることを余儀なくされたTravis Scottの5年ぶりとなる4th Album。満を持してのリリースであり、中身も濃い大作となっている。
デビュー時からKanye Westとの類似性は認識されていて、前作では路線変更の傾向も見られたが、当作では元に戻り、さらにはKanye のYeezusへの参照性が強くみられる。ただ、Kanyeで耳が馴らされたせいか、あまりリスナーを突き放した感覚はない。
全体的に、不穏で仰々しい雰囲気に覆われているが、個々のトラックのクオリティは高く、多彩であり、また、そのKanyeも含めて、制作陣やGuestもかなり豪華なので、聴きごたえは十分すぎるほど。音楽シーンでのKanyeの不在感は完全に埋めてると思う。
