“Over It”, “Still Over It” と続いた Over It シリーズももう完結か、と思わせるタイトル “Finally Over It” が出ました。
全18曲のボリューム感は、前作、前々作と同様。
ただし、前半#1-9 “For Better” と 後半"10-18 “For Worse” の2部構成となっています。LP なら2枚組といったところでしょうか。
“For Better” は「私自身を選ぶ」という決意、“For Worse” は無条件の愛を他者に求めすぎた過去の自分への決別のようです。
“Over It” のプロデューサー London on da Track との愛憎、出産、その後の Larry A.K.A. Lvrd Pharaoh、Demetrius Flenory Jr. 、Rico Recklezz らとの交際と破局がこのアルバムにも色濃く反映されているようで、「もう男性には期待しない。私は私自身を愛する」という境地が “For Better”、“For Worse” ということなんでしょう。
相変わらずスローでディープな曲調ばかりですが、意外と前作同様アクースティックな音色が目立ちます。
R&B ですが、伝統的な R&B だけにとどまらないカントリー的なサウンドの広がりが感じられます。
サウンドを形作るプロデューサーには Nineteen85、The-Dreamら40組が参画し、ソングライターは90組以上が参加するという、ものすごいことになっている訳ですが、それでいてバラバラ感がなく、Summer Walker の音楽になっているのはさすがです。
さらに共演には 21 Savage、Anderson .Paak、Doja Cat、GloRilla、Chris Brown、Bryson Tiller ら豪華メンバーが参加していますが、それぞれの特徴をうまく捉えてサウンドを形成しているのは、これまたすばらしい。
もう一つ特徴的なのは、アルバムアートワークです。ウェディングドレス姿の Summer Walker と車椅子の高齢男性の姿は、1994年に89歳の億万長者と結婚したプレイボーイモデルの Anna Nicole Smith をリファーしているそうです。なかなかおもしろい。
