レビュー
IO（イオ）4枚目のソロ・アルバム『four』の冒頭を飾る「Tokyo Freeway」は、KANDYTOWNの仲間・KEIJU（ケイジュ）を迎えた、都会的なムード漂う一曲。
GooDee（グッディ）が手がけるトラックはシンプルながら洗練され、余白を活かしたミニマルな音作りが車窓から流れる都会の夜景を思わせる。IOのラップは抑制が効き、言葉の間に漂う空気感がトラックと絶妙に調和している。そこにKEIJUのラップが加わることで、曲に変化と奥行きが生まれ、楽曲全体の立体感を高めている。
KANDYTOWNらしいクールさが際立つ楽曲で、特にフックは旋律の美しさが印象に残る仕上がりになっていて、聴く者を自然に引き込む力がある。
下のFNMNLのインタビューを読むと、このフックを作ったのはKohjiya（コージヤ）らしい。二十歳かそこらでこんなフックを作れたのは本当に凄い！
KEIJUにバースを書いてもらってる間に自分でフックを5、6パターン作ったんですけど、中々しっくり来なくて、このアルバムでも客演で入ってるKohjiyaに相談してみて、これ、「Kohjiyaだったらどんな感じで入れる？」って。それが、すごい良くて、最初はメロだけ送ってもらったと思うんですけど、そのままリリックも一緒に作って、だから、これはバースに関しては自分で書いて、フックだけぽかんと空いてたものだったんですけど、Kohjiyaがライターとして参加してくれて最終的にフックが埋まりましたね。
