MONSTERS IN TOWN

The collision between her and a permanent band gives birth to a heavy funk. On this record the rhythm surges and begins to change shape. As if swallowed by the furious city, A1's richly mellow groove takes on a rising edge. The strings and horns of the newly assembled arrangement increase the tension; a weighty sound steeped in funk bursts out. A2 fills a love refrain that pierces upward out of a smooth opening, while the relaxed, sturdy ballad A4 and the slow medium-tempo flavor are exceptional.
