浜崎あゆみ、BIGBANGのSOL、[Champagne]の川上洋平、エレクトロ・ユニットのMNDR、E-girlsの鷲尾伶菜、女子高生ラッパーのdaoko、テイラー・スウィフトを日本語カヴァーした動画が話題のMACO、ベラ・ブルーやルビー・プロフェットら気鋭のシンガー——並びがカオスすぎて思わず書き連ねてしまった。途轍もない振り幅で届いたm-floの新作は、その豪快な突き抜け具合に唖然とするばかり。EDMに寄せた楽曲も清々しく、この手の音楽特有の大味な作りがポジティヴに映えている。もう本当に〈WOW〉でいっぱいのパーティー・ソング集ですよ。あきらかに出どころが変化し、ここぞという時に登場せずに思いがけないところでスッと入ってくるVERBALのラップもネクスト・レヴェルに到達!
Japanese pop queen, Ayumi Hamasaki, SOL from Korean mega idol group BIGBANG, Yohei Kawakami from Japanese rock band [Champagne], American electronic music duo MNDR, Reina Washio from Japanese girls group E-girls, 16-year-old rapping high school girl daoko, MACO, famous for her Youtube video of the Japanese cover of Taylor Swift's "We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together", whizzy singers Bella Blue and Ruby Prophets, - sorry, just had to put them all down as the roster seemed too chaotic. The latest album from m-flo with its inordinately expanded 'turf' simply makes your jaws drop with its roof-bursting exhilaration. The approach to EDM in some of the tracks is pretty refreshing, and the particular sketchiness often seen in the make of tracks of this kind of music actually adds a positive touch to each track. As the title suggests, yes, it is definitely a full-blown party tune collection full of real 'WOW's. VERBAL (rapper) has obviously shifted his roles, choosing to smoothly slip in at the most unexpected expositions, proving that his rapping proficiency has reached a totally new dimension.
