2023年4月!再入荷〜〜!、、1STプレスは流通前に完売で泣く泣く諦めて数ヶ月。再プレスの報に喜ぶもこのレコードブームのおかげで遅れること半年、、、進行形R&B~ネオソウル、、控えめながら大人の色気を存分に発揮するプロデュースはJohn Carroll Kirby(!!!!!!)、さらにカニエ・ウェストのサンデーサービスのドラマー、Lemar Carter のパーカッションをフィーチャー。今US、R&Bのいいとこ詰まってます。
Track List
This is a thoughtfully considered album of quiet, confident R&B: it doesn't jump out at you, but rather gets in you. Produced by John Carroll Kirby, the like-minded artist and collaborator with Frank Ocean and Solange Knowles, it features restrained percussion from Kanye West’s Sunday Service drummer Lamar Carter. Celestial soul as a break from chaos, these are quietly challenging songs as timeless as they are contemporary.
“What a rare and cool challenge it was for me to help Eddie re-emerge after a long hiatus,” says John Carroll Kirby. “I was excited to produce a record for him that captured the chill, laid-back wisdom and easy vocal mastery he has that you don’t see that much these days.”
Lead single “My Mind Is Out of Its Mind” finds a deep groove to try and contain spiraling heartbreak, while the sweet and fizzy “Trouble” balances the downcast “Hurt” and more tender “Papa.” But even the project’s lightest moments feel sincere and mature. Altogether: a truly unifying release, coming from a man who's earned the right to share such a regal, romantic sound.

アンビエント,ニューエイジ、ジャズ、R&Bという既視感あるジャンルが続々と更新され今サウンドになる魔法のL.Aのアダルトサイド・John Carroll Kirbyプロデュースによるシンプルなリズムマシーンの打ち込みとスムーズ&スマートなメロディにうっとり。そして今作主人公のEDDIE CHACONは1963年カリフォルニアはオークランド生まれ、90`sソウルデュオ、"Charles & Eddie"の片割れとして活躍後から長く音楽業界から引いてた彼が30年に渡る沈黙から音楽活動を再開、がコレ。R&B、ネオソウル、AORというような具合ですが、ダンス、アンビエント耳でも全く違和感なく聴けるのはプロデュースによる妙か、ボーカル力でしょうか。この"白さ"もいいですね。ラウンジでのDJ、アフターアワーズ、どんな状況でも鳴りそう。最高すぎ。 (Shhhhh)
