8.4 (11 ratings) Joshua Radin genre: Folk
release date 2006-01-01 publisher: Sony
Songwriting is a very personal process for Joshua Radin; his songs capture the listener and keep them entranced from beginning to end. He's been compared to other acts such as Nick Drake, Simon & Garfunkel, Elliot Smith. Each moment can become a snapshot in time generated by a specific creative spark for this upcoming artist -- whose hit song "Winter" was recently featured on the NBC television sit-com "Scrubs".
Joshua began his artistic pursuits at an early age with art, acting and music. He started on his musical path with songwriters like Lennon and McCartney, and is currently likened to writers like Elliot Smith and Bob Dylan. His worldwide exposure garnered interest from thousands of fans who downloaded "Winter" and purchased his CD entitled: "First Between 3rd & 4th".
Based out of L.A., Josh's music treads the thin line between sappy and sincere exquisitely. His arrangements put an emphasis almost entirely on the acoustic guitar, with occassional string appearances, and female vocal harmonies (courtesy of Priscilla Ahn). His influences include all of the requisite forbears of the genre, and occasionally these influences appear in the music in a very tangible way.

8.2 (69 ratings) Rosie Thomas genre: Folk
release date 2002-01-01 publisher: Sub Pop
温柔美丽的旋律、悠扬流畅的歌声--来自rosie thomas的清新民谣。一样是温柔美丽的旋律、悠扬流畅的歌声,Rosie Thomas 营造出的氛围卻极为独特--她善于融合两种不同的极端:清亮甜美的嗓音中,隐隐透着饱经风霜的沧桑感;梦幻飘渺的色彩里,却又让人深刻感受到十足脚踏实地的草根气息。
在她的音乐中,流露着对生命深切的感性与关怀,包括童年、梦想、爱、希望,都以极其诗意方式,在清淡词句中呈现深刻情感;简单的吉他、风琴、钢琴,交织出清新、简朴的音乐风貌,彷彿是一杯蕴涵无穷深邃滋味的顶级绿茶,沁人心脾,引人回味。
蘿西湯瑪斯
Rosie Thomas
集演唱歌手/歌曲作家的蘿西湯瑪斯。雖然蘿西自早年兒時起就開始形成了她甜美精緻的曲風,但當她加入“電子城”dreampop樂隊“天鵝絨100(Velour 100)”時才得以成名。湯瑪斯在90年代後期曾隨這支樂隊巡演並擔任主唱,在此之後她開始了個人的單飛生涯。融合了Joni Mitchell的民謠流行樂以及獨立音樂的感性特點之後,湯瑪斯發現自己達到了新的境界。她和Damien Jurado在Sub-Pop2001年合集《Badlands: A Tribute to Bruce Springsteen's Nebraska 》專輯裡的《Wages of Sin》中合作,並在Jurado的《Ghost of David》專輯裡的《停車場》獻聲。
然而,當湯瑪斯02年的個人處女作《當我們還小(When We Were Small)》(sub-pop公司)問世時,她被認為更有思想,更幽默,更迷人。當她沒有創作音樂時,湯瑪斯幽默的個性分身,一個戴眼鏡的送披薩名叫沙拉的女孩就會出現。她的成功之路在她2003年第二張未刪節專輯《Only With Laughter Can You Win》發行後,知名度逐漸的拓展開來。
