Leonard Cohen genre: Folk
release date 2001-01-01 publisher: Sony
哪位音乐人忍心让歌迷们为一张专辑苦苦等候9年? 出版了唱片《The Future》之后,沉迷于东方玄学的Cohen,在自己61岁的时候剃度出家,和音乐完全断绝了关系。《Ten New Songs》,正是他结束僧侣生活、修成正果之后,音乐和精神的回归。和早期那些唱片一样,它有一个简单而又纯粹的名字:《Ten New Songs》。这是一张弥漫着告别气息的歌曲集,充满了个人自白,挽歌式的感叹,一些轻微的抗议声,和禅意。它,看上去就像是个句号。 第一次接触这位老男人的音乐,是在电影《天生杀人狂》片头里的一段插曲《Waiting For The Miracle》。如今,这部电影已经不在,但是里面的歌还会经常响起。不再年轻的Cohen,被上帝赐予了一种极富吸引力、攻无不克战无不胜的声线。我曾经一直以为Cohen只是一位歌手,看过他的传记后才知道,他在诗歌和文学上的成就,丝毫不逊于他的音乐才华。 这张让歌迷们望眼欲穿的专辑,延续着Cohen特有的低沉、忧伤。他和齐豫不同的是,听齐豫的歌会让你陷入沉思,而Cohen能让你的思绪在音乐响起的一瞬凝滞,心如止水。 这是一粒止痛片,是一剂安神药,献给现代人游离躁动的灵魂。

诺拉·琼斯 genre: Jazz
release date 2002-01-01 publisher: Blue Note Records
It is not just the timbre of Norah Jones's voice that is mature beyond her 22 years. Her assured phrasing and precise time are more often found in older singers as well. She is instantly recognizable, blending shades of Billie Holiday and Nina Simone without sounding like anyone but herself. Any way you slice it, she is a singer to be reckoned with. Her readings of the Hank Williams classic "Cold Cold Heart" and Hoagy Carmichael's "The Nearness of You" alone are worth the price of the CD. Jones's own material, while not bad, pales a bit next to such masterpieces. They might have fared better had she and producer Arif Mardin opted for some livelier arrangements, taking better advantage of brilliant sidemen such as Bill Frisell, Kevin Breit, and Brian Blade; or if the tunes had simply been given less laconic performances. Jones has all the tools; what will come with experience and some careful listening to artists like J.J. Cale and Shirley Horn is the knack of remaining low-key without sounding sleepy--sometimes less is not, in fact, more. --Michael Ross

Rachael Yamagata
release date 2011-10-11 publisher: Megaforce
Rachel Yamagata has reunited with Happenstance producer, John Alagia for her third album Chesapeake, the follow up to her heralded 2 CD Set Elephants...Teeth Sinking Into Heart. Praised by critics for her intimately confessional songwriting and arrangements, Rachel released her last album, Elephants...Teeth Sinking Into Heart on Warner Bros. Records in October 2008. Entertainment Weekly called her delivery Gorgeous and Rolling Stone said her soulful, cigarette-scratched voice and melancholy lyrics recall Fiona Apple and PJ Harvey. She toured extensively in support of the album playing to crowds throughout the United States, Europe and Asia. Songs from the album appeared in various television programs and films including Gery s Anatomy, Private Practice, Brothers and Sisters and more. She also made an appearance in the season finale in 2009. Yamagata emerged in 2005 when songs from Happenstance and her self titled debut EP turned up in such films and television shows as Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants, In Her Shoes, Prime, How I Met Your Mother, Nip/Tuck, One Tree Hill, and The OC, on which she made a guest appearance.

Green Day genre: Rock
release date 2009-05-15 publisher: Reprise Records
Green Day 时隔5年新作《21st Century Breakdown》,花费三年多的制作,朋克歌剧风格,叙事体裁,他们颠覆一切、他们野心勃勃,他们就是这个世界。 【专辑背景】 2004年的“朋克歌剧”《American Idiot》为绿日乐队(Green Day)赢得两座“格莱美”大奖,并让乐队一跃成为世界一线乐队。2009年乐队改换制作人请来Garbage 乐队的鼓手Butch Vig担当制作,虽然改换制作人但新专辑依然延续《American Idiot》的概念之路,以年轻夫妻Christian 和Gloria为主角,《21st Century Breakdown》共分三幕,“Heroes and Cons”、“Charlatans and Saints”和 “Horseshoes and Handgrenades”来讲述一个世纪的兴衰成败。 【专辑评测】 国外有句谚语叫“If it works, don't fix it.”意思是说如果好好的就不要去改变什么,绿日乐队的主唱Billie Armstrong一定深知其中的道理,所以当2008年他对外宣布乐队将在今年发行新专辑时,包括他在内的所有人都清楚绿日很可能再造一张《美国白痴》,这几乎就是不用揣测的事情。四十年前英国乐队The Who在发行了一张石破天惊的摇滚歌剧《Tommy》之后顺其自然地推出了现场版的摇滚歌剧《Live At Leeds》,他们懂得只要好好的就不要去改变什么;再近一些,2000年U2乐队发行《All That You Can't Leave Behind》从90年代末阴霾的电子舞曲抽身而出,接着2004年发行《How to Dismantle An Atomic Bomb》进一步巩固自己伟大乐队的地位,他们同样懂得只要好好的就不要去改变什么。如今同样誓做伟大乐队的绿日也很清楚要将《American Idiot》良好的势头保持下去就只需再造一张《American Idiot》,一张不够就做两张,只要还是“绿日”时代,他们的朋克歌剧就不缺少听众。 除了将合作十年的制作人Rob Cavallo替换掉,《21st Century Breakdown》与《American Idiot》就再无其他差别,同样的音乐风格、同样的概念故事、同样的目标。用一个词定义《21st Century Breakdown》就是“野心”,无论从音乐上还是从歌词内容上,绿日都显示出坚定而且接近完美的野心。对于一只伟大的乐队来说这是必要的,伟大乐队的伟大之处就在于他们能做到别人想都不敢想的事情。 《21st Century Breakdown》音乐上的野心体现在制作人以及歌曲风格上,请来Butch Vig是因为Nirvana 的经典专辑《Nevermind》以及 The Smashing Pumpkins的惊世专辑《Siamese Dream by》都是出自他的监制。绿日乐队动用他的目的很明显,凭他的神奇再造一张经典。事实证明,新制作人的效果是强悍的,一方面他将一个庞大的主题通过编曲很好地连接成了整体,另一方面他让乐队尝试更多风格,除了朋克更加猛烈外,还有多首加入钢琴的作品,甚至还让Billie Armstrong用假声唱起慢歌。这在以前是绝对不会出现,融合多种风格的绿日也可以将流行朋克的帽子彻底拿掉了。新专辑内容的野心体现在歌曲的容量,专辑十八首歌曲讲述跨度一个世纪的庞大故事,如此庞大的概念专辑一般乐队是难以驾御的。新专辑以年轻夫妻Christian 和Gloria为主角讲述对宗教、政治、信仰的反思,当然还少不了小布什,绿日乐队成名于对他的攻击,自然要“善始善终”。小布什的卸任对于“绿日”来说多少算个损失,少了这个倒霉蛋,他们的矛头就不够尖锐,不过战争与和平是永久的话题,况且Billie Armstrong从约翰-列侬(John Lennon)那学来了工人阶级情怀也大有用武之地,专辑同名曲《21st Century Breakdown》即是讲述工人阶级的劳苦处境,歌曲思想上的升华是伟大乐队该有的境界。 绿日乐队的朋克歌剧做得不亦乐乎,《21st Century Breakdown》的野心要远远超过《American Idiot》,他们的灵感来自皇后乐队(Queen)、“冲撞”乐队(The Clash)以及美国蓝领领袖Bruce Springsteen,很宏大很强势,《American Idiot》能获得“格莱美”,《21st Century Breakdown》也很有希望,而问题就在于他们还要继续做几张《美国白痴》?真正的考验还在后头。(文/赵南坊 网易音乐测评室)

Marvin Gaye genre: R&B/灵魂乐

Marvin Gaye 把 1971 年专辑《What’s Going On》的标题曲拿给摩城音乐创始人 Berry Gordy 时,据传后者曾表示,那是他听过的最糟糕的东西。音乐太松散,歌词则太政治化。但就连 Elvis Presley 都唱起了抗议歌曲(1969 年的《In the Ghetto》),Marvin Gaye 为什么不可以?<br /><br /> 这张专辑的奥妙就在于那份轻盈。歌曲自在呼吸,演绎自然松弛,甚至有些漫不经心,例如标题曲中负责演奏萨克斯的 Eli Fontaine 录音时甚至以为自己不过是在热身。Sly & The Family Stone 在苦涩的放克里倾泻怒火的同时(1971 年的《There’s a Riot Goin’ On》),Gaye 则用华丽的弦乐和拉丁鼓点表达着他的不满,柔和而且显得老练。哪怕是触及毒品(《Flyin’ High [In the Friendly Sky]》)和贫困问题(《Inner City Blues [Make Me Wanna Holler]》)等严肃主题时,他也轻盈得如同御风而行。这张专辑让我们明白,政治音乐不一定要剑拔弩张,也可以温暖怡人。
