商品の紹介
| My World Is the Sun, from Quebecois vocalist and songwriter Dominique Fils-Aime, is introduced by her Haitian mother, Claudette Thomas, singing "Ma Melodie" from an old 70s-era cassette. Its placement inspires the entire 15-track set. My World Is the Sun offers lyrics populated by the elements, weather, the sun, and the moon sung in both French and English. Fils-Aimes voice lies at the center of 21st century soul, jazz, pop, folk, and blues. The album is nocturnal, warm like a bath, and yet gently mercurial in its subtle abstractions. "Sea of Clouds" opens with the sounds of waves crashing against the shore. Keyboardist David Osei Afrifa offers a dark, subtle synth drone under her vocal, appended by percussion, chimes, and a wordless, chantlike lower-register chorale. With emotional resonance, she prayerfully sings, "Sea of clouds/Below my feet/Blue sky always blue/Clear sky always clear/Untroubled/Clear sky be my mind/May my thoughts gather as one for a minute." She answers with "Sun Skin," offered as a dirgy sea shanty. As she heartfully emerges from the chorale, she repetitively imparts, "The sun is my skin glowing" -- not as metaphor but testimony, while layered percussion and violins reflect its truth, earnest and prophetic. Third single "Phoenix Rising" offers a bluesy gospel approach as she chants, "Fire rain down on me," adorned by pulsing piano, snare, tom-toms, and other hand drums. Fils-Aimes accent on certain syllables evolves throughout as the bass buoys her insistently. "River," another single, is a poetic blues guided by producer Jacques Rays bassline, elegiac piano, and percussion; she exhorts the beloved to come to the river and join with her to be healed in the refrain -- "All the/Love on this earth/Is meant for you" -- before gravitating to deep soul and jazzy, Latin-tinged R&B. Her spiritual and emotional reflections add depth and weight to music that weaves through Caribbean and African sounds in addition to blues, soul, and jazz. On "Freedom Become," tempos shift around the piano and a resonant trumpet solo, and she continually states, "May freedom become you/May freedom heal you." "Life Remains" is a blues that channels Billie Holiday and Nina Simone simultaneously over a slightly funky jazz backbeat. The single "Going Home" is set up by an acoustic guitar as Fils-Aime sings with determination to rise above trials and tribulations and return to her origins. At 8:45, "Moon Child" is the most haunting tune here. Spectral yet weighty bass, muted blue trumpet, synth, and hand percussion wind out in eerie sequences as her vocals balance jazz and neo-soul amid a crawling, almost funereal progression. In closing, she delivers a stunning read of French legend Francis Cabrels classic "Je taimais, je taime, je taimerai" that whispers the recording into silence. My World Is the Sun is singular in its regard for emotion and spirit above all. Fils-Aime doesnt try to prove her artistic bona fides because she embodies them on this, her magnum opus. ~ Thom Jurek |
