Description

[Machine Translation] Mickey Echo, the US singer/songwriter that most popular producers/artists are in love with right now, is back with his long-awaited debut album for all music fans! Mickey Echo is the author of Rihanna's 2013 hit song "Stay", and his quiet presence on stage with Rihanna at the 2013 Grammy Awards ceremony caught the attention of music fans all over the world. Although Mickey Echo became widely known after "Stay," he was already a sought-after collaborator for many well-known music producers and artists before that. After graduating from high school, Mickey moved to Nashville and released the EP "Strange Fruit" in 2009, which slowly gained a reputation for its songs and live performances, and has since gone on to create songs like "Stay" and "Smile" with Jim Elliott (Ellie Goldings), Justin Parker (SIA, Lana Del Rey), and others. In 2011, his reputation led him to collaborate with a number of producers in London and LA, including Fraser T. Smith (Adele, Sam Smith) and Dave Sitek (TV on the Radio, Ya Ya Ya's). Around the same time that he released "Stay" in 2013, he teamed up with hip-hop producer Clams Casino (A$AP Rocky, The Weeknd) for "Pull Me Down," which received rave reviews from SPIN, Pitchfork, and others. The song has also spawned a number of remixes. He has performed with Christopher Malinchak on "Stranger," David Guetta on "One Voice," which was nominated for an MTV Video Music Award this year, and with Lil Wen, Gwen Stefani, Zedd, Major Lazer, Jessie Ware, Giorgio Moroder, and many others. He has collaborated with a wide range of artists, including Lil Wen, Gwen Stefani, Zedd, Major Lazer, Jessie Ware, and Giorgio Moroder, and has been in the studio with many of them. Mickey Echo's style is quite simple. His simple, stripped-down melodies and messages jump into the heart of the listener, and the sadness of his love songs is superb. On the other hand, while it may seem like a love song, it seems to contain a universal message that can be applied to any human relationship, and the more you chew on it, the more you will enjoy it. The success of "Stay" reminded them of the importance of honesty in their work, and this album, which includes songs from "Stay" and later, demonstrates that feeling to the fullest. Mickey Echo is an artist with an exquisite balance of pop sensibility and spirituality. This long-awaited debut album is a perfect showcase of his unparalleled talent.
Note: This is an import edition (manufactured outside of Japan).

タイム [輸入盤] / ミッキー・エコー

人気プロデューサー/アーティストが今、最も惚れ込むUSの男性シンガー・ソングライター“ミッキー・エコー”、全音楽ファン待望のデビュー・アルバム! 2013年の大ヒット曲、リアーナ「Stay」の作者と言えばピンとくる向きも多いだろう。2013年のグラミー賞授賞式ではリアーナと共にステージに立ち、静かに存在感を放つミッキー・エコーに、一躍世界の音楽ファンの目が釘付けになった。「Stay」をきっかけに広く知られるようになったとはいえ、ミッキー・エコーはそれ以前から数々の著名音楽プロデューサー/アーティスト達がコラボレーションを希望するアーティストだった。高校卒業後ナッシュビルに渡り、2009年にEP『Strange Fruit』を発表後、曲やライヴの良さでじわじわと評判になり、以降、ジム・エリオット (エリー・ゴールディングス)、ジャスティン・パーカー (SIA、ラナ・デル・レイ)等と共に「Stay」や「Smile」といった曲を誕生させた。2011年にはその評判ゆえにロンドンやLAでも数多くのプロデューサー等とコラボレーションする機会を得、フレーザー T. スミス (アデル、サム・スミス)、 デイヴ・シテック (TV オン・ザ・レディオ、ヤー・ヤー・ヤーズ)等も認める存在に。そして2013年に「Stay」で世に出た同時期に、ヒップホップ・シーンのヒット・プロデューサーであるクラムス・カジノ (A$AP Rocky、The Weeknd)と組んだ「Pull Me Down」を発表し、SPIN、ピッチフォーク等が絶賛。またこの曲は数々の名リミックスも生んだ。現在もクリストファー・マリンチャク「Stranger」、今年のMTVビデオ・ミュージック・アウォードにノミネートされているデヴィッド・ゲッタ「One Voice」での共演、リル・ウェン、グウェン・ステファニー、ゼッド、メジャー・レイザー、ジェシー・ウェア、ジョルジオ・モロダー等々、幅広いジャンルのアーティストとの共作やスタジオ入りが伝えらており、もはや音楽シーンで彼の名を聞かない日は無いほどだ。華やかに注目を浴びるミッキー・エコーの作風は、いたってシンプル。朴訥とした、無駄をそぎ落としたメロディとメッセージが心に飛び込むポップスで、ラブソングでの切なさは秀逸。一方で、ラブソングかと思うと、どんな人間関係にも当てはまるような普遍的なメッセージが込められているかのようで、噛むほどに味わい深い。作品作りにおいて‘正直’であることを大切さを、「Stay」の成功から改めて感じたということで、「Stay」以降の曲が並ぶ今作では、その想いが如何なく発揮されている。ポップ・センスと精神性の絶妙なバランスをもったアーティスト、ミッキー・エコー。その比類の無い才能を堪能できる、待望のデビュー・アルバムだ。
