New Arrival Douban
The A-Teens genre: Pop

首支主打单曲“Floorfiller”风行瑞典晋升金唱片
惊悚摇滚始祖Alice Cooper助阵合唱代表作“School’s Out”
A★TEENS/阿巴少年组成立于98年10月,由四个现年未满20岁的瑞典青少年所组成,分别是由Marie Serneholt(玛莉,19岁)、Amlt Paul(艾明,19岁)、Sara Lumholdt(莎拉,18岁)和Dhani Lennevald(达尼,18岁)四人所组成。就是这支来自瑞典的组合,不到两年的时间便一飞冲天获得多项国际性奖项、专辑全球热卖的畅销成绩和与超级男孩、布兰妮共同展开的美国巡回演出,使他们成为风靡欧洲的当红青少年偶像团体。
首支单曲《Mamma Mia》只用了一星期便打破瑞典的销售记录,使得《Mamma Mia》
停留在冠军王座2个月,成为1999年瑞典最畅销单曲。首张专辑《The ABBA Generation(新世代风暴)》以年轻活力来重新诠释70年代美声团体ABBA的经典歌曲。并凭此专辑在2000年9月击败克莉丝汀等强敌勇夺Viva Music Award所颁发的最佳国际新人奖。这张专辑非但使得阿巴少年组拿下众多优异成绩,还在全球范围内创下狂卖三百万张的佳绩,对四位少男少女来说,无疑好似做梦一般,不过这一切都还只是开端而已……也许有人会
质疑,除了翻唱瑞典国宝ABBA(阿巴合唱团)经典名曲的“加特”,A★TEENS还有什么成功的因素呢,第三张专辑《New Arrival/新货上市》可以告诉你答案。
在新专辑当中,曲风多元,创新求变,并微微带点放克味的单曲《Floorfiller》就是其中的代表作,不仅风行瑞典,销售量也傲然晋升金唱片。他们为迪士尼电影《星际宝贝》录了一曲猫王经典《Can’t Help Falling In Love》,此次特别收进专辑中,这张专辑的另一个焦点,便是与惊悚摇滚始祖Alice Cooper的合作;他们一直想与Alice Cooper合作心中的最爱《School’s Out》(Alice Cooper的72年的经典曲目),不过觉得他答应的可能性很小,结果Alice Cooper的小孩竟然是A★TEENS的歌迷,意外促成了这桩不可能的任务。
阿巴少年组为我们所展示的就是属于年轻自我的多元风格。专辑制作请来超豪华的幕后制作阵容倾力打造。专辑中到处洋溢着动感十足的强劲节奏,还有浪漫抒情的美妙旋律,总的来
说A★TEENS的这张全新大碟《新货上市》有着年轻多变的个性,是一张集合开心、轻快、充满青春气息的专辑,作为新时代的年轻绝对不应该错过如此正点的好歌哦!
The Fame Monster Douban
★ 8.7 (147 ratings) Lady GaGa genre: Pop
release date 2009-11-24 publisher: Interscope
SANTA MONICA, Calif., Oct. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Lady Gaga announced today that she will release The Fame Monster, a re-package of her 4 million-selling album The Fame. The album will include the entire breakthrough album The Fame, along with eight entirely new songs. The Fame Monster (Streamline/KonLive/Cherrytree/Interscope Records), deals with the seamier side of fame, as experienced by Gaga over the course of her last history-making year. The new version will be released on November 24, 2009.
Says Lady Gaga, "On my re-release The Fame Monster, I wrote about everything I didn't write on The Fame. While traveling the world for two years, I've encountered several monsters, each represented by a different song on the new record: my 'Fear of Sex Monster,' my 'Fear of Alcohol Monster,' my 'Fear of Love Monster,' my 'Fear of Death Monster,' my 'Fear of Loneliness Monster,' etc."
"I spent a lot of nights in Eastern Europe, and this album is a pop experimentation with industrial/Goth beats, 90's dance melodies, an obsession with the lyrical genius of 80's melancholic pop, and the runway. I wrote while watching muted fashion shows and I am compelled to say my music was scored for them. I also composed a ballad for the album, 'Speechless,' a song for my father, and it's my favorite work of all. I wrote every piece on the road - no songs about money, no songs about fame. I wrote it for my fans, so I wrote everything in between."
The first club-banging single, the RedOne-produced "Bad Romance," will be released in early November. Other collaborators on the new tracks include Teddy Riley, Rodney Jerkins, Ron Fair and Fernando Garibay.
Lady Gaga is also in the process of planning her next tour after her co-headlining tour with Kanye West was canceled last week.
