It Comes Naturally to MINMI!
It Comes Naturally to MINMI!
| MINMI hasn't produced a bad album in her career yet, and "Natural" is no exception! The Reggae meets Soul-R&B feeling that past MINMI albums and collabs gave is mixed up this time around with a big-band sound full of trumpets. If you like the artist bird, then this MINMI album might be perfect for you to start off with. Track 2, "Nishiazabu Densetsu" is an upbeat clap-your-hands sort of Pop/Trumpet-fused/minimally reggae-influenced song that isn't inspiring, but it hits the mark somehow. The 3rd track in the bunch, "Summer Time," reminds you of being at a carnival with drums and salsa-inspired rhythms in a quick-paced dance circle. Again, MINMI tries something new here with a bit of Afro-Caribbean samplings, too. One of my favorite relaxed tracks is "FRIENDS" because not only are the lyrics nice "Let's hold hands, my friends, right here and right now. It may be a coincidence that we're livin' in the same times, but this is also our destiny..." In addition to that, Ryo the Skywalker, PUSHIM, MOOMIN, Shounan no Kaze, and more come in to add flavor on this 'classical' reggae track and bring a laid-back feel. Dance tracks like "Are yu ready?," "Are yu ready (remix)," and "YO WELL" (which tries to be a bit reggaeton) spice up a predominantly R&B MINMI album. The rest of the tracks aren't particularly dance, so if you love a laidback MINMI sometimes, this is definitely up your alley! Track 7 "Shinjuu no Namida" is a light reggae, flute/drum track that has a bit more KENTY-GROSS rapping than MINMI's singing, but it's hot, so I'll let it pass. Track 8, "Ajisai," sounds like an old recording from the 1930s with a live jazz band and sole tinkering piano, and while I am not a fan of that sound (DOUBLE tried that on her "Life is Beautiful" album), it works for this song. If you loved the 1990s R&B with its exaggerated pumping beats and easy-to-follow rhythm, then "Superstitious" and "Coconuts Flavor 97" are great. There's absolutely nothing Reggae about these songs, and they're not particularly MINMI either. Coming to a close, "Aila" is a standard Soul-reggae fusion with a strong emphasis on the light sound of drums (some tin, I think). But the best song on here, in my opinion, is "Natural!" No wonder the album is titled after this! It definitely borrows off some recent American hip-hop songs for its beat (which has been slowed down, and stripped a bit--or "chopped & screwed" perhaps?), but shines on its own when MINMI raps on it, and sings softly in the chorus. Overall, this album has a bit of everything, and I'd highly recommend it for that reason alone. |
