AOR stealer in 100.

指田郁也が100年の逸材というならば、Michael McDonaldは1万年の俊才だぜ。




100年のイツザイを探す、WANER MUSIC JAPAN主催「VOICE POWER AUDITION」で
約1万人の応募者からグランプリを受賞した100年ヴォーカリスト「指田郁也」。
期待の2ndシングル「パラレル=」3月21日発売。NHK Eテレアニメ「バクマン。」EDテーマ。


リズムの刻みが薄いAORにあって、「パラレル＝」はモスキートのように軽く、
それに比べると「What a Fool Believes」がビートルくらいヘヴィに聴こえるから面白い。





“What a Fool Believes“ was written by Michael McDonald
and Kenny Loggins, and recorded by The Doobie Brothers
for their 1978 album Minute by Minute with McDonald singing lead vocals.

The single reached number one on the Billboard Hot 100 in April 1979,
remaining in that position for just one week. However, the song received
the 1980 Grammy Awards for both Song of the Year and Record of the Year.

Clip features a love story where boy meets a very sassy girl
— and then the girl wreaks all kinds of havoc on the boy's life,
in the name of love, of course.
