Review of Miyavi’s New Album, What’s My Name?
What’s My Name, released 13 November 2010, is Miyavi’s comeback album after the birth of his two daughters. The musician who dubbed himself as Neo-Japaneze Samurai Guitarist was putting aside his career to focus on his family. But now, he’s ready to rock the music industry once again.
What’s My Name is Miyavi’s 7th album and was released under EMI Music Japan. It consists of 14 quirky rock’n’roll songs that will accompany his loyal fans to welcome New Year.
The title track, What’s My Name?, begins with melody that will remind you to cowboy era. It then quickly escalates into Miyavi’s signature crazy-fast guitar playing. However, people may or may not like his vocals on this song. His music style makes it harder to assess whether it’s good or not. To put it simply, it fits the lyrics so well. This energetic song is in stark contrast to the other mellow songs presented in this album.
One of the mellow songs, Gravity, has that particular feeling of meditating while hearing Buddhist mantras. At some point of the song, the atmosphere changed drastically into horror.
Other song, Shelter, has catchy guitar riffs and easy-to-sing lyrics. For dancing occasion, A-HA will make you move your feet crazily.
To sum up, What’s My Name? Is better classified as experimental rock. Not all of you will like this album for sure. However, give it a listen and then decide whether the album suits your taste or not.
Rating : 4/5
