eill has recently released her 4th digital single titled, ‘PLASTIC LOVE’, on 8th September which has received some good review.
This song is originally from the album “VARIETY” by Mariya Takeuchi which was first released in 1984. This cover song is available to listen to through major music streaming services by clicking here.
The arrangement is made by the producer Yaffle, who is one of the leading figures in the Tokyo music scene. The tempo of the song is slightly slower than the original one and the arrangement is just perfect – it’s not overdone too much or not enough. The usage of digital effects is quite catchy and has an amazing effect on the vocals. Most of all, eill’s delicate voice cannot be forgotten once you hear it and her singing is very delicate, causing a great impression that will stay with you.
The arrangement by Tatsuro Yamashita is just great but at the same time eill’s version of ‘PLASTIC LOVE’ has brilliant balance as a pop song in 2021.
