Album Notes & Community Reviews
Produced by funk maestro Toshiki Kadomatsu, Anri’s 'Timely!!' stands as an absolute, sun-drenched pinnacle of Japanese city pop. The album brims with lush horn arrangements, incredibly tight slap bass, and highly energetic disco grooves that perfectly soundtrack romantic, urban summer longing, making it a masterpiece of early 80s dance-pop.
