デビュー・アルバムということになります。
EPで、"S"、"Z" ときたので、当然 "A" やろうというところ、"Ctrl" ときました。(当初のアルバム名はやはり "A" だったようですが)
僕的には、これの次の "SOS" があまりに良かったので、一つ前も聴いてみよう、ということで聴きました。
結果、こちらも素晴らしい。
最近の R&B 同様、少しわかりづらいメロディ・ラインですが、何度も聴けばしっくりきます。
サウンドはアクースティック、エレクトリックと多様ですが、凝ったサウンドでも前に出過ぎることはなく、伴奏に徹しています。
先行シングル #4 "Drew Barrymore"、#2 "Love Galore"、アルバム発売後の #6 "The Weekend"、#9 "Broken Clocks"、#8 "Garden (Say It like Dat)" とも比較的キャッチーなサビを持っているものの、全体的には難解で、スローです。
どうしても僕はポップな #5 "Prom" のような曲に耳を奪われてしまいます。
アルバム制作のために数百曲の断片を記録していたらしいですが、レコード会社はそのハード・ディスクを没収してしまい、再度作り直したのが本作らしいです。多くの曲からどう選択していいのか、本人が不安になってしまったからのようです。
労作なんですね。
ちなみに、#15〜#21 はデラックス・エディションのボーナストラックです。
