Album Review
Janelle Monáe / Dirty Computer
女優業も好調なJanelle Monaeの4年半ぶり3作目。前作までの組曲作品と違い、新しいコンセプトでの作品。制作陣は引き続きWondaland ファミリーの盟友Nate "Rocket" WonderとChuck Lightningが中心となっており、豊饒なサウンドを紡ぎだしている。
晩年のPrinceと交流があったとのことで、⑧⑭あたりがPrinceっぽい曲になっている。他にもPopでFunkでノリの良い曲が多く、それだけでも単純に楽しめるが、Lyricのメッセージ性は強い。
また、なんとBrian WilsonがOpening曲でビーチボーイズっぽいコーラスを聴かせてくれている。
