山崎まさよし - Transition
Review by Jesús Sánchez Balsera
Transition is the ninth studio album by Japanese singer-songwriter, Masayoshi Yamazaki, released in 2017. The album features 10 tracks that showcase Yamazaki's signature blend of pop, rock, and folk music.
The album opens with the upbeat and catchy "One More Time," which sets the tone for the rest of the album. Yamazaki's smooth vocals and guitar playing are accompanied by a lively drum beat and catchy melody, making it a standout track.
Other standout tracks on the album include "Sekai wa Mada Kimi wo Shiranai" and "Kodomo no Uta." The former is a mid-tempo ballad that showcases Yamazaki's emotional depth, while the latter is an upbeat and cheerful song that is sure to put a smile on anyone's face.
