Solange / A Seat At The Table
Album review
Solange / A Seat At The Table
2012リリースのTrueがEP扱いなので、8年振りとなるSolangeのアルバム3作目。しかもメジャーでのリリースとなる、Grammyにもノミネートされている。Trueは、Dev Hynesの全面バックアップだったわけだが、今回はRaphael SaadiqをExecutve Producerに迎え、癒し効果抜群のナチュラルSoul Albumに仕上がっている。ただ、蓋を開けてみると、自身の住んでいたBlooklyn人脈のDave Longstrethら、UKから新進気鋭のSampha, サウスからLil Wayne等、バラエティに富んだGuestや制作陣が参加しており、変化をもたらしている。曲調はミディアム-スローでほぼバンドによる、ところどころJazzyなものだが、あくまでも中心にいるのはSolangeの囁くようなVocalだ。
