Description

[Machine Translation] ELO is back with its first all-new single in 15 years! The first single "When I Was A Boy" is a song about Jeff Lynne's childhood dreams and his life in music. The melody of the song has already been promised to remain as a classic song forever, and it has a "vintage ELO" sound. Jeff Lynne says of the new song, "Music has a powerful influence on our lives. Music has a powerful effect on life, and one good song can save a person from feeling alone in the universe for a long time. My own loneliness is much lessened by trying to write one of those songs. My whole life... from the time I was a dreaming kid in Birmingham to today, is proof of how much music can do," ( Jeff Lynne ). ELO headlined BBC Radio 2's "Festival in a Day" last September 2014 in Hyde Park, London, for the first time in nearly 30 years, playing to a sold-out crowd of 50,000 fans and television. The band gave an amazing live performance in front of 50,000 sold-out fans and nearly one million viewers watching the live TV broadcast. The group also performed with Ed Sheeran at the 57th Grammy Awards in February 2015, performing "Mr. Blue Sky" and other songs, and the momentum for their revival was building. ELO is known as one of the most influential groups in the history of music, and their new album is sure to be a hit!
Note: This is an import edition (manufactured outside of Japan).

Description in Japanese

アローン・イン・ザ・ユニバース [輸入盤] / ジェフ・リンズ・ELO

ELO、15年ぶり全曲新曲の新作! 既に公開されたファースト・シングル「ホエン・アイ・ワズ・ア・ボーイ」は、ジェフ・リンの少年時代の夢やこれまでの音楽人生について歌った曲。既に名曲として永遠に残っていくことが約束されたようなメロディで「ヴィンテージELO」サウンドともいえるもの。ジェフ・リンは新曲に関してこう語っている。「音楽は人生に強力な影響を及ぼすんだ。1つのいい曲があれば、人はこの宇宙で孤独感をずっと味わわずに済む。そういう曲を1つ作ろうとすることによって、僕自身の孤独感もずっと弱まるんだ。僕の人生すべてが・・・バーミンガムで夢見る子供だったあの頃から今日に至るまでが、音楽にどれほどたくさんのことができるかの証明だよ」(ジェフ・リン)。ELOが過去にチャートのトップを席巻したアルバムと同様、ジェフ・リンは新作『アローン・イン・ザ・ユニヴァース』でプロデューサー、ソングライター、アレンジャー、リード・シンガー、ギタリストを務める。ELOとしては、昨年2014年9月、ロンドンのハイドパークでBBCラジオ2主催の『フェスティヴァル・イン・ア・デイ』のヘッドライナーとして約30年ぶりに出演、ソールドアウトにした5万人のファン、そしてテレビ中継を見た100万人近くの視聴者の前で素晴らしいライヴ・パフォーマンスを披露。また今年2015年2月に行なわれた第57回グラミー賞ではエド・シーランと共演、「Mr. Blue Sky」などを演奏するなど、復活の機運が高まっていた。音楽史を象徴する影響力を持つグループのひとつとして知られるELOの新作に注目が集まる!
