Reflex (アルバム)

『Reflex』（リフレックス）は、日本の女性歌手、DOUBLEの4枚目のオリジナル・アルバム（4th Album）。

 概要 
DOUBLEの4枚目のオリジナル・アルバム（4th Album）。

2007年8月8日にCD＋DVDとCDのみの2種類でリリース。CDにはシングル『ROCK THE PARTY』、『Call Me』、『Emotions』、『SPRING LOVE』、『SUMMERTIME feat. VERBAL』を含む全17曲収録。DVDにはミュージック・ビデオ「ROCK THE PARTY」「Call Me」「SPRING LOVE」「SUMMERTIME feat. VERBAL」の4曲に加え、「SUMMERTIME feat. VERBAL」のメイキング映像を収録。

前作『Wonderful』以来、約3年9ヶ月ぶりとなったオリジナル・アルバム。アルバムタイトル「Reflex」には「反射」や「反動」という意味があり、約3年9ヶ月の期間の反動でより濃密で強力な作品とし、TAKAKO自身もリリース当時に過去最高傑作と自負していた。ジャズ・アルバム『Life is beautiful』で生音を取り入れた経緯から生楽器（ピアノ、ストリングス等）とデジタル音を融合した作風となった。また四季（「SPRING LOVE」、「SUMMERTIME feat. VERBAL」、「Autumn〜interlude」、「Winter Love Song	」等）もコンセプトとしている。

ゲストには国内からオルケスタ・デ・ラ・ルス、BOY-KEN、m-floのVERBAL、海外からLA出身の女性ラッパーアクセント、カニエ・ウェストやジェイ・Zなどがこぞって絶賛したシカゴ出身のラッパー、ルーペ・フィアスコが参加している。アクセントとは以前、彼女の楽曲「ALL I NEED feat. DOUBLE」に参加し、その経緯でコラボレーションが実現、ルーペ・フィアスコとは“SPRINGROOVE”というイベントで共演し、パフォーマンスを見て、TAKAKO本人からオファーしてコラボレーションが実現した。

『Reflex』のリリースパーティー“FEVER SPECIAL〜DOUBLE NEW ALBUM "Reflex" RELEASE PARTY!!〜”が2007年8月17日にageHaで開催された。アルバム購入者には先着100名に無料招待券、割引券が同封された。

一部の店舗で購入すると3種類のステッカーのうちランダムで1枚が配布された。

渋谷の109の壁面に100平方mの『Reflex』の宣伝ポスターが2007年8月26日から2007年9月8日まで掲載された。
