女子3人+女装家という編成やリード曲“かわいいっていわないと呪う”のトリッキーさがキワモノ的な匂いを放っていただけに、新作が意外にも親しみやすいガール・ポップ集で驚いた。ボッサ調の“しょおなんのかぜ”などを挿みつつも基本はテクノ・ポップ×バンド・サウンドなスタイルで、〈女子にしかわからないいろいろ〉を斜めな目線の、けれど的確な言葉で綴っている。パスピエアーバンギャルド好きにおススメ!?

 

[English Translation]
Powann "BLUE"

Contrary to the spicy topicality emitted, as presented in their formation of the band with 3 girls + 1 boy (DRESSED AS a girl), or the title of the leading track of the album being "Kawaii to Iwanaito Norou (meaning I Will Curse You If You Don’t Say I’m Cute)", it is actually a bit surprising that this latest release has come out as an unexpectedly approachable collection of girls pop. Slipping in tracks like the bossa nova-taste "Shonan no Kaze", the album basically follows their usual style of techno-pop × band sound, portraying the 'only-girls-would-understand' issues in twisted-angled, but yet precise string of words. Well-recommended to those who are fans of pop rock bands like Passepied or URBANGARDE!?
