結成から20年を経て送り出される2年ぶりのオリジナル・アルバム。80sの煌めきを宿したグルーヴィーなポップソングが迷いなく展開されており、かせきさいだぁを迎えた“今夜はレッツ・ダンス!”あたりに顕著な、タキシードやデイム・ファンクに呼応したようなシンセ・ブギーへのアプローチが際立った印象を残す。松尾潔が作詞を手掛けたAORバラード“Crybaby”のスウィートな味わいも最高です。


[English Translation]
Following the band’s 20th anniversary, NONA REEVES has released their first original album in two years. The groovy pop songs that bear the allure of the 80s are played out with no hesitation, and the band makes an impressive approach to synth boogie in a way that seems to be a response to Tuxedo or Dam Funk in some numbers, such as “Konya wa Let’s Dance! (meaning Tonight, Let’s Dance),” the collaboration track with Kaseki Cider (hip hop artist/rapper/lyricist/manga artist). The sweetness in the AOR ballad “Crybaby” written by Kiyoshi “KC” Matsuo (producer/lyricist/composer) is really divine, too.
