Description

[Machine Translation] The up-and-coming funk sax player "Shu Asaoka" from Yokohama has completed his long-awaited new work "Reborn," a danceable funk album. The album contains three original compositions that he created while developing his own unique activities based on black music, such as Funk, Soul, R&B, Disco, and more. This album is a major shift from his previous work, and is filled with dance music tunes written and composed by Shu Asaoka, as well as "songs" and funk sound creation that he loves, and his unique entertainment that is full of enthusiasm and makes the audience stand up and dance at his live performances. The first song "Get down" is a disco tune with disco sounds scattered throughout and a lyrical motif of longing for an unusual space, while the second song "Let's be united" is a lyric about the importance and preciousness of connecting people through music, which he himself felt after being exposed to a variety of artists and music. The third track, "Let's dance" is a mellow tune with a luxurious and rich sound reminiscent of 90's R&B, and is full of groovy party sounds with sparkling phrases by saxophone and synthesizer and sexy chorus work over a strong upbeat beat. The third track, "Let's dance," is a killer tune with a strong upbeat beat and a groove-filled party sound created by intertwining sparkling sax and synthesizer phrases and sexy chorus work.

Description in Japanese

Reborn / 朝岡周

横浜が生んだ新進気鋭のファンクサックスプレイヤー「朝岡周」の踊れるファンクな待望の新作「Reborn」完成! Funk, Soul, R&B, Disco等、ブラックミュージックをルーツに独自の活動を展開していく中で作り上げたオリジナル作品3曲を収録した。前回作品から大きくシフトチェンジした今作は、朝岡周が作詞/作曲を手掛けたダンスミュージックチューンを中心に、朝岡周が愛する「歌」とファンクなサウンドクリエイトにより、ライブでは観客が総立ちで踊るような熱気溢れる独自のエンターテインメントを展開する朝岡周の「今」が詰め込まれた作品となった。1曲目の「Get down」は随所に散りばめられたディスコサウンドと非日常的な空間への憧れをモチーフとしたリリックによるディスコチューン、2曲目の「ひとつになろう」は様々なアーティストや音楽に触れ自分自身で感じた音楽を通して人を繋いでいく大切さや尊さをリリックに乗せ、90年代R&Bを思わせるラグジュアリーでリッチなサウンドによるメロウチューン。3曲目の「Let's dance」は強烈なアップビートの上で、サックスやシンセサイザーによる煌びやかなフレーズとセクシーなコーラスワークが絡み合うことによりグルーヴ溢れるパーティーサウンドを作り出したキラーチューンとなっている。
