2018年のブレイク作にしてデビューアルバム『Downtown Castles Can Never Block The Sun』は未発表曲をベスト盤的にまとめたものだったので、今作が真の意味でのデビューアルバムとも言えそうな、INTERNATIONAL ANTHEM期待のシカゴ出身気鋭アーチストBEN LAMAR GAYニューアルバム「Open Arms To Open US」がリリースされた。
幼少時期7歳の夏休み、大叔母にいるアラバマ州での自然豊かな環境での体験、音楽体験お記憶を紐解きながら、ジャズ、ニューオリンズ、セカンドライン・ファンク、ソウルR&B、ブルース、バラード、R&B、ラーガ、ニューミュージック、ルーツミュージック伝承歌、童謡、ヒップホップなどを流麗に交えながら、何とも形容し難い、生き物のように織りなされる、どこかサン・ラ・アーケストラも彷彿させてくれるかのようなユニークでオリジナリティに満ち溢れたイマジナリーにモダン・アヴァンギャルドに南部アメリカがフリーにジャズされる圧倒的才能の息吹が咲き誇る全16曲を収録。 (コンピューマ)
