最近のフィメール R&B にしては、「歌」ものです。
極端に言うとメロディがないものが多いので。
そいう意味で好感が持てます。
歌詞は全部は分かりませんが、至って痛み、孤独、怒りなどを表現した曲が多いように思います。
で、"SOS" なのかな？
一番面白いのは、ヒットした "Kill Bill" ですね。
元カレを殺しそう、いや殺しちゃった、的な歌詞ですが、メロディとサウンドがクールで素敵。
PV がタランティーノの "Kill Bill" ばり、かつ特撮映画やアニメ映画のパロディが入っていてイカしてます。
アルバム全体のサウンド的には、電子的に作り込んだ曲もあれば、オーガニックなアレンジのものもあり、結構幅が広い。
2017年のファーストアルバムから5年ぶりなので、その間紆余曲折があったんでしょうね。
曲の振れ幅に、悩みの幅が重なるようです。
