Yuko Imai

Description

[Machine Translation] Yuko Imai, who covered "Midnight Door ~Stay with me~" (Miki Matsubara) before the recent city pop boom (newly recorded on the best album "SWEETEST VOICE" in 2016), has made a full-fledged effort to cover songs with this ambitious work. The album features Imai's signature Latin music, "Tortilla," which is also her signature sound, and her voice. The arrangement of the songs is also a highlight, with Imai's characteristic Latin and fusion tones. While avoiding the standard songs, Imai's song selections are well balanced between popularity and mania, and will make AOR and city pop fans groan. The inclusion of "Eternal Promise," a new song written by the artist himself, completes this collection of works that is more than just a covers album.

Description in Japanese

Reminiscing / 今井優子

昨今のシティ・ポップ・ブームに先んじて「真夜中のドア～Stay with me～」(松原みき)をカヴァーしていた (2016年のベスト盤『SWEETEST VOICE』に新録収録)今井優子が本格的にカヴァーに取り組んだ意欲作。生音主体にじっくりと作り上げられた本物感あふれる極上のサウンドをバックに、伸びやかで心地よい歌声をじっくりと聴かせる。今井の特徴でもあるラテン～フュージョン色をそこはかとなくにじませたアレンジの妙も聞き物。定番を避けつつも、ポピュラリティとマニア度をバランスよく考慮した選曲でAOR～シティ・ポップ・ファンを唸らせる。本人の書き下ろしによる新曲「Eternal Promise」を収録し、単なるカヴァー・アルバムにとどまらない充実の作品集が完成。
