Ali Thomson "The Last Rodeo" CD

★Supervision and commentary: Kanazawa Toshikazu (Light Mellow)

Ali Thomson, the Scottish singer-songwriter who delighted fans with her first album in 38 years in 2019, has released a long-awaited new album! A masterpiece full of freshness!

"It seemed like they had made a comeback after 40 years, and now it's already their second comeback album in just two years! Mature British pop intelligence and bittersweet adult sentiment. Exposed to the winds of the US West Coast, it's finished off simply with current technology. When "Koi no Rhythm" starts playing again, a masterpiece of AOR for the 2020s will be born." -- Kanazawa Toshikazu

Ali Thomson is a Scottish singer-songwriter who released two albums from A&M in her early 80s and is known for her hit song "Take A Little Rhythm" (1980). This is her first album in two and a half years, following her third album "Songs from the Playroom" (2019), which was her first comeback in 38 years! A must-listen for Prefab Sprout fans, this stylish pop that seems to go between AOR and neo-acoustic shows more and more brilliance! A masterpiece filled with gentle singing voice and sweet, sophisticated melodies and sounds!
