椎名林檎 Shiina Ringo - 勝訴ストリップ Shōso Strip Artist_Chaka Khan and 'Spend Some Time'

and 'Spend Some Time'

Album opener “Music is Nothing But a Prayer” sets the tone for the album

it is like you are being summoned -- not to somewhere new

and the band's love of analog makes this album a different kind of enjoyment than CD

椎名林檎 Shiina Ringo - 勝訴ストリップ Shōso Strip Artist_Chaka Khan and 'Spend Some Time'This is the second album, released in 2000, by an artist who had already made her extraordinary talent and powerful presence known to the world through hit singles like (4), (7), and (12). It is a massive hit that elevates the music into a unique form of pop, even as the entire record is permeated by a raw, "painful" quality born from the intense interplay between taut lyrics and sound.
