Seako Bossa -The Girl from Ipanema

[Machine Translation] Ayako Inuzuka, a singer-songwriter who has been singing bossa nova for more than 10 years, has released a heart-warming bossa album that captures the "joy of bossa nova & my current self"! In addition to such bossa nova standards as "Daughter of Ipanema," "Felicidade," and "Little Boat," which everyone has heard at least once, the album also includes the hit song "Kaze wo Tsumete" by "Happiendo" (lyrics by Takashi Matsumoto, music by Haruomi Hosono) and the famous hit song "Feeling Like Makin" by Roberta Flack. The album also includes a bossa arrangement of Roberta Flack's hit song "Feel Like Makin' Love". The album also includes four of her latest original songs, "Masks," "Memories of the Wind," "New Samba," and "February Clouds," all of which are excellent, especially "Masks," which sounds like a high-quality acoustic pop song that shows off Ayako Inuzuka's talent as a melody-maker.

ボサノヴァを歌い続けて10年以上のキャリアを持つシンガー・ソングライター、犬塚彩子が"ボサノヴァの愉しさ&今の自分"を収めたハート・ウォームなボッサ・アルバム! 誰もが一度は耳にしたことのある「イパネマの娘」「フェリシダージ」「小舟」などのボサノヴァ・スタンダードの他に、"はっぴいえんど"のヒット曲「風をあつめて」(作詞: 松本隆/作曲: 細野晴臣)やロバータ・フラックが歌ってヒットした名曲「フィール・ライク・メイキン・ラヴ」をボッサ・アレンジで収録。さらに彼女の最新オリジナル曲「面影」「風の記憶」「新しいサンバ」「2月の雲」の4曲を収録。4曲とも素晴らしいが、特に「面影」は犬塚彩子のメロディー・メイカーとしての才能を感じさせる上質なアコースティック・ポップスにも聴こえる秀作。
