"A long-awaited reggae cover of a soul classic"

Hello.
This is Aoyagi.

As the seasons change, the music we listen to naturally changes too.
Among them, the record I recently acquired is "LOVERS' SPECIAL REQUEST."



This album contains three enjoyable lovers' covers of classic soul songs.



・Christine Lewin - In The Mood
・Marvin James - I'll Be Around
・Tricia Dean - Don't Let It Go To Your Head

During the extremely hot summer this year, I often listened to manly reggae.
The drums and bass resonated through my body, and the hot, energizing sound really got me excited for the summer.

As the seasons change and the weather gets cooler, the Lovers Sound feels very pleasant.

This record is released by the UK label BACKATCHA .
I pre-ordered it online in August and it was originally supposed to arrive in September, but the delivery was delayed and it finally arrived the other day.

I had been waiting for it for a while, so my expectations were high, but the sound was even better than I expected.


I play records every morning at home, and lately I've been playing this record every day.
It creates a little more time for the busy mornings, and I can see the expressions on everyone's faces lighten.

What's interesting is the reaction of the children.
When "Tricia Dean - Don't Let It Go To Your Head" was playing, I sang along, laughing, "This song sounds like 'Tongari Corn'!" (laughs)



It reaffirmed the appeal of music.
This is a piece that I would definitely recommend everyone to pick up.

This album is recommended not only for fans of soul, reggae, and lovers rock, but also for fans of city pop.
