Cara Dillon, one of the most celebrated singers in Irish Folk music, announces the release of her brand new album Wanderer. For this, her seventh album, the award-winning singer once again collaborates with longtime musical partner, producer and husband Sam Lakeman to offer a collection of songs featuring intimate performances that capture some of her most moving vocal performances to date. Building upon a career based on folk songs rooted in time and place, Wanderer sees Cara delve deeper into the tradition, not finding reasons to circumvent it. The underlying theme being the movement of people, of emigration and the pursuit of love. It's a collection that speaks to Cara's fascination with songs of departure and the powerful desire to belong.
Each of the album's ten tracks feature beautifully sparse piano and acoustic guitar arrangements by Sam Lakeman, who also produces. His experience and expertise were both key in making this album stand apart from Cara's previous. It's warm and intimate; the mood is stripped back and relaxed; the songs are beautiful and full of space with every moment thoroughly self-assured. Guest performances by Kris Drever, John Smith, Justin Adams, Niall Murphy and Ben Nicholls provide modest and expressive backing, helping to make this a sincere and understated work of art.
Throughout an enviable career which has seen her explore opportunities to tread many different paths – from releasing folk crossover albums on indie label Rough Trade; working on Disney soundtracks to collaborations with leading UK dance DJ/producers – Cara has continuously chosen to firmly plant herself within the landscape of her cultural heritage and that's something to celebrate. With a more mature and reflective tone, Wanderer will no doubt transcend genres just as effortlessly as her highly successful albums Hill Of Thieves (2009) and A Thousand Hearts (2014) and increase her already impressive list of fans. "What may well be the world's most beautiful female voice" - MOJO "Loved every single album you've put out...sublime, heavily recommend to anyone." - Ed Sheeran "This woman's voice holds so many beautiful memories in my heart." - Sam Smith "Dillon's crystalline, angelic voice, an instrument of rare beauty capable of melting the sternest of hearts" - BBC

「首张专辑【Pure Heroine】纪录了我青少年的辉煌时刻，而接下来，我要用这张专辑，带给大家前所未见的新世界。」- 萝儿 Lorde
16岁出道，就以首张大碟【天生英雌Pure Heroine】狂扫告示牌、葛莱美奖等各大奖项，20岁推出的这张全新大碟，Lorde说她想要改变全世界！年仅20岁却拥有轻柔灵幻的嗓音，同时带有稚嫩与成熟的双重灵魂，她的歌词意境深远，但又贴近新世代自处的矛盾与挣扎；Lorde的创作，总让人从中感受到最真切的情感，也使听众彷彿在诗篇的文字与音乐美学里，亲耳见识了她独一无二的音乐风格，一听就深深为她着迷。
本名Ella Marija Lani Yelich-O`Connor的Lorde，13岁就以惊人天份被环球音乐挖掘并签下一纸合约正式出道，17岁时以一曲"Royals"轰动全球，不仅摘下英美两地冠军，更在全球卖出千万张销量，最后夺下荣获葛莱美「年度歌曲」与「最佳流行歌手」两项大奖；2013年首张专辑【天生英雌】，一发行便空降了纽澳冠军，全美累积三白金认证，一连串令人仰望的排行纪录，接连获颁时代杂志册封「最具影响力青少年」、富比士杂志「30岁以下未来之星」头衔。挥别了青少年时期的萝儿，准备踏入人生另一阶段的她，不仅在心境上因为恋情告终而有所转变，音乐上更是出现了巨大提升；Lorde说：「新专辑在探讨当代的人们-该如何品尝孤独?这不是一张描写心碎或失恋的作品，是试图去解构这些情绪背后所带来的效应，并学会如何与"他们"相处，无论好还是坏，我们都要学着去体会」；同时，萝儿还将所谓的色彩联觉(Chromesthesia)带入到专辑中，让所有聆听者可以透过听觉上的接收，在脑海中产生出相应的颜色视觉画面。经历超过500个日子倾力打造之后，终于交出了备受注目的第二张专辑【狂想曲Melodrama】。
【狂想曲】除了由Lorde自己担任制作外，更请来了拥有三座葛莱美奖的Jack Antonoff(泰勒丝、赞恩)，以及加拿大DJ Frank Dukes(蕾哈娜、德瑞克)等共同打造；开场曲同时也是首支主打"Green Light"，描写过去经历的疯狂人生与心得，而「Green Light」意象，代表着人生能够有往前迈进的动力，兼容了ElectroPop与Dance-Pop的脉动，快速在Spotify突破1亿次点播及告示牌热门榜Top 20；受到蕾哈娜的"Higher"启发而写出"Liability"，展现了曲风上的多元，以柔软舒适又带点阴郁气息的钢琴声，铺陈了整首歌曲，娓娓诉说心中的寂寞；"Writer in the Dark"则是面对孤独的最佳写照，毫无保留地在世人面前摊开来呈现。
【天生英雌】塑造了一个全新的天才少女，而【狂想曲】的出现，将会把萝儿推向下一位乐坛巨星之路。
