MOZK with 3cm's 1st full album, declaring 'I've decided to sing only what's in my heart!' A voice that radiates presence, conveying lyrics with clarity while maintaining a sense of transparency. A kaleidoscopic storm of grooves spanning funk, reggae, soulful ballads, Latin-inspired tracks, and folk. Highlights include Hirotaka Ito's exquisite horn arrangements, the roaring solos of young jazz trumpeter YNO, and trombonist Yukiko Matsuda whose playing evokes R. Rodriguez. In this 21st century dominated by programmed beats, this CD, stubbornly analog, hints at a quiet boom! Including new material written during the pandemic, it's a stimulating masterpiece filled with laughter and tears. MOZK's wholehearted, soulful album!
