Drake / Certified Lover Boy
Album review
Drake / Certified Lover Boy
Drakeの3年振りの作品。スタジオアルバムとしては6作目となり、今回も21曲、86分今日の長尺になっている。今回に限ったことではないが、1枚のアルバムを何年も丹精込めて作り上げていくというアプローチをとらず、作り溜めた曲が一定数以上になったら、アルバムの形を借りてリリースしているという感じではないかと思われる。
とはいえ、個々の曲のクオリティは決して悪くないし、かえってバラエティの富んでいて、最後まで惰性に陥ることはないのは流石。
Drakeらしいアンビエントでダウナーのサウンドを基調にしつつ、Yebba(⑪)、Tems(⑯)、Ty Dilla $ign(⑰)などVocal Guest参加曲がアクセントになってる。
大物Rapperも多数客演しているが、Lil Wayne, RIck Ross参加の⑱などはストレートで良いと思う。またBeatlesのMichelleを大胆にサンプリングした①によって、のっけからリスナーの耳を釘付けにすることに成功している。
