入江陽との共作EPを先頃送り出したシンガー・ソングライターによる初のソロ作。メロウなフォークにエレクトロ・ポップ、ローファイなシンセ・ファンク……多様でUSインディーとの共振も感じるプロダクションがおもしろい。が、それも末葉と言いたくなるほど、スケールのデカいソングライティングと艶やかな歌声が作品の真芯にデン!と鎮座している。ヒット・チャートを真顔で駆け抜け得る風格を備えた傑作だ。
[English Translation]
After the earlier collaborative EP with neo-soul, pop singer-songwriter, Yo Irie, up-and-coming singer-songwriter and pop maestro butaji has unveiled his 1st solo full-length album. Inclusive of mellow folk, electro pop, lo-fi synth-funk.... the highly versatile production seemingly shares something in common with US indies’ and that’s quite interesting in itself, but definitely and moreover, it is his brilliantly broad-minded songwriting and alluring vocals that grandly sit right in the bottom of all! A real masterpiece that is fully qualified for climbing up the charts steadily, with absolutely no difficulty.
