説明

20歳という若さでイタロ・シーンを席巻したRoberto Ferranteが生み出した、ダンス・ポップの至宝。ClioことMaria Chiara Peruginiによる、無垢な多幸感とミステリアスな熱気が交錯する1984年のカルト的傑作が待望の復刻。

1980年代のイタリアにおいて、弱冠20歳の天才プロデューサーRoberto Ferranteが手掛けた本作は、現在進行形で再評価が進むイタロ・ディスコ・シーンの頂点に君臨する一枚だ。ヴォーカルを務めるClioの、少女と大人の狭間を漂うような独特な歌声は、聴く者を一瞬でノスタルジックな冒険へと連れ出す。

フランス語で綴られる歌詞は、時に脈絡がなくミステリアスな響きを湛えているが、それがかえって楽曲の持つ魔法のような中毒性を引き立てる。砂浜やバブルガムを連想させる軽快なシンセサイザーの音色は、まるで童謡のような親しみやすさと、映画『スカーフェイス』のクラブシーンに紛れ込んだかのようなスリリングな高揚感を同時に抱かせる。

近年ではその高い音楽性から、あえて回転数を落としてヴェイパーウェイヴ的な陶酔感を楽しむリスナーも現れるなど、世代や国境を超えて愛され続けている。キャッチーなサビと哀愁漂うベースラインが織りなす立体的な音像は、当時の熱狂を鮮烈な色彩とともに再現する。

The decade of the 80s is revived through recordings like "Eyes" that allow you to travel through the music and trigger those old emotions of innocence, joy and adventure. It's possible you don't understand a word of what they're singing in the chorus, but the song is very catchy! Maybe not even Maria Chiara Perugini knows what she sings about, but she makes you hang on to every word of her like a nursery rhyme of synths, beach and bubblegum. "Eyes" is so amazing, so mesmerizing and more and more people are discovering this italo-disco masterpiece that usually satisfies and makes fun of you at the same time. If you try playing it at 75% speed gives a hypnotic vapor wave vibe! And even more, the song would have fit well in the dance club scenes from Scarface. Beyond the words - difficult to find a text that makes sense, sometimes out of context, unundestandable even for a French listener - the piece is so surprisingly likeable for the unique tone of Clio's voice, a strange cross between teenager and adult, and the part where she spoke another language, with some really cool synthesizers, are people's favorite parts. 0:31 "Je suis bien heureuse" , 0:47 "La nuit a ses merveilles", 0:57 "Il y a de quoi y perdre la tete, pour toi, sha, pour toi", 1:36 "Je n'ai plus de bulles", 1:52 "Je vous prie applaudissement". "Eyes" by Clio contains all the emotions that a dance-pop song should contain plus the essential element of mystery, a kind of magic that takes place between the chorus and the bass line, a shot in the dark drizzly night of the Italo-Disco. made by Roberto Ferrante, a guarantee for the perfect productions of the 80s, when he was only 20 years old.
