瑞典小女人Annika Norlin一直写歌，却从未唱给其它人听过。直到她偶然 将"highschool stalker"，一首关于天真浪漫的小女生跟踪心爱的小男生的歌，录制发到互联网上以后， 迅速窜红并很快得到一纸合约。之后关于友情的首支单曲my best friend里，norlin竟然唱到"Damn, I wish I was a lesbian（女同性恋）/so I could fall in love with you."之后首发专辑 “introducing.."广受好评。 这是一张关于相思成灾，寂寞无眠和美好回忆的专辑，洋溢其中的淳淳爱 意令人迷醉。专辑欢快的旋律，使得即便是关于感伤，关于寂寞的"saturday nights"和"i don't sleep well"也不显得过于沉重。如此细腻动人的歌词再搭配上流行的旋律和干练优美的女声，又有谁会不买单

Human Again is the fifth studio album by Ingrid Michaelson. The album is expected to be released on January 30, 2012 on Cabin 24 Records. The first single from the album, "Ghost" was released on November 15, 2011.In a recent interview,[1] Ingrid spoke about the album, saying: "It's coming along really well. We were hoping to have everything done by now, and we're not at all done. I keep writing more songs, so that's kind of a good thing, because I keep creating new things, and that's what's halting the process, because we have to go in and record that song. It's been a long, arduous process, but the harder you work on something, the prouder you are of it." "I played a few of the songs for my father that we've been working on, and he asked me where are all the peppy songs were. Evidently, there aren't any peppy songs on this record. But that's OK, I'm not a little kid anymore. I love singing my little ukulele songs. But I feel like it's time to stand up and really sing. [This record] is fiercer and not as childlike. Not to dis my old work, but I feel like I've done the whole barefoot singer-songwriter thing" "'Parachute' was a lot poppier, kind of darker. The next record isn't going to sound like that, but I think in the way that 'Parachute' sort of pushes out the limits of what I've been doing in the past; it's stepping across a boundary. I think that's what I'm doing with the record. I don't think the record sounds like 'Parachute,' but I think it's a bit stronger. There are some similarities in that it's different from my previous work. I'm singing harder, I'm pushing more. Hopefully that will be evident." On Tuesday, November 15, Ingrid announced the tracklist and release date, as well as the album's first single, "Ghost," and unveiled the cover artwork.[2] The cover artwork was painted by Joe Sorren specifically for the album. She plans on promoting the album by going on tour in Spring 2012. She will also be performing live on the Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade.[3]

民謠女歌手 Joni Mitchell 於一九七一年發行的經典之作。在六○年代的社運、學運已成過往雲煙後，回歸藝術家身分的Joni Mitchell，以纖細、感性之筆，寫下Blue中連篇美麗的樂章：“My Old Man”描繪無須法律約束就能地老天荒的愛情；“Blue"和“California”則以略帶憂傷的口吻，描繪社運結束後，發現社會仍無改變的惆悵； "The Last Time I Saw Richard"深刻描繪了知識分子的犬儒與失落……清淡如詩的口吻，娓娓道來日常的生活情境，蘊含的卻是極為深刻的社會觀察與生命哲思，充分展現「女性創作歌手第一人」的實力。

１９６９年，Elliott Smith出生在美国内布拉斯加州最大的城市奥马哈，他的童年是不幸的，在他完全懂事之前就换了一位父亲，然后全家搬到以保守著称的德克萨斯州达拉斯市，１９６３年１１月２２日，美国总统肯尼迪曾经倒在了这里。Smith的继父是个粗鲁的人，虽然日后Smith不愿意提及自己童年所受到的伤害，但是，从他成年以后热中于帮助被虐待的儿童这一点人们多少可以看出一些端倪。Smith找到了音乐对抗内心的寒冷和疼痛，他９岁起玩乐器，１０岁开始创作。Smith后来跟他的朋友说，要是没有音乐，他可能会变成和他的继父一样的人。也许，Smith成年后的沉默寡言和他在幼年受到的伤害有很大的关系。也正是在达拉斯，Smith经常的出没于教堂。 高中的时候，Smith来到波特兰,回到父亲Gary身边。林肯高中的时候,他获得了全国优秀学生奖。Smith参加了该高中的Stranger than fiction乐队，一直到他87年毕业。然后是横穿美国，离开美西的波特兰，来到美东的马萨诸塞，在小城阿姆赫斯特修习哲学与政治科学。大学的专业看来对他影响良深，他的第三张个人专辑的名字便是以丹麦哲学家齐克果的名著命名：《或此或彼》（Either/Or），而他的案头摆放的读物则是法国哲学家福柯的《临床医学的诞生》。 大学毕业以后他在不同的乐队里呆过，和所有尚未成名的乐手一样，做音乐的同时做各种各样其他的工作来糊口──他做过园丁，嫁接竹子，甚至还做过掘墓人。１９９２年，Elliott　Smith跟Neil Gust、Tony Lash及Sam Coomes组成了乐队Heatmiser，他们经常在拉丁夜总会演出，而那也是Elliott　Smith驻唱的地方之一，熟悉他的人总会惊讶他怎么会参加过如此暴躁的乐队。。不幸的是，虽然出过三张唱片，但是Heatmiser并不很成功，于是乐队在１９９６年解散，奇怪的是，解散之后乐队的成员都成了小有名气的人物：Neil Gust另组了乐队No. ２，Tony Lash成为唱片监制，而Sam Coomes则跟前妻组成了乐队Quasi。而所有人关注的目光都由于１９９４年那张《罗马蜡烛》而聚集到了Elliott Smith身上，１９９５年，Elliott Smith在killrockstars公司的帮助下发行了第二张个人专辑《Elliott Smith》除了音乐上的民谣风格，这张专辑给人最深刻的印象就是封面上，两个人正从楼顶上跃下，努力的拥抱大地，可以看出，当时他就已有自毁的迹象了，而我们知道的是，由于多年漂泊的生活以及乐队的经历，他已经沾染上了一个摇滚乐手最容易沾上的两样东西：酒和毒品，整夜的酗酒和对药品的依赖让他变的更加沉默和难以接近。而一次他和女友都因为在Beck的演唱会上和与歌迷发生冲突的警察打架而被拘留，他过去持有毒品的记录让他在拘留所里吃尽了苦头。 １９９７年，Elliott Smith推出了第三张个人专辑《或此或彼》，这张唱片之后，他离成功近了一步，唱片商发现，这个长的一副倒霉败家样的家伙有点成为新的民谣明星的样子了。而唱片公司也开始按照自己的标准打磨这个明星坯子，首先就是戒除毒瘾和酒精的侵害。而Elliott Smith也同意了，他去亚利桑那州的一家医院接受了强制性的戒毒，毒瘾虽然暂时被戒掉了，但是对Elliott Smith的精神和身体的伤害是巨大的，同样的事情发生在一年多之后，这一次的事情给他的打击非常之大，他开始由自觉的配合转为需要不停的被保释。出于对killrockstars的厌烦，Elliott Smith转投了主流公司DreamWorks名下。 １９９８年，Elliott Smith的第四张，也是最成功的专辑《ＸＯ》为他带来了希望的光明，请了Tom Rothrock和Rob Schnapf担任制作人，专辑中用诗意丰沛的音符编写出如同一抹夕阳余晖的宁静，但是却用激烈的情绪情绪向每个聆听者发出召唤。这样的结果就是专辑卖出了２０万张。这个时候，Elliott Smith简直变了一个人，他经常侃侃而谈，还主动接受自己的父亲给别人认识，他甚至开始对老东家Killrockstars以及令他念念不忘强制治疗表示抗议，他说，生活中总是有些神经病，自我感觉良好的对别人指手画脚，告诉你这个该做那个不该做，结果是，你干什么都觉得很闷气。DreamWorks公司的心情也特别的好，到处安排Smith演出和接受访问，夜夜与如Courtney Love,Minnie Driver这样的明星出来进去，再加上媒体的力挺，连Elliott Smith都被即将成为摇滚明星的光明未来给眩晕了眼。 但是这些商业上的成功并没有挽救他滑向死亡，和在Killrockstars一样，Dreamworks也因为商业上的需要开始关注起他的健康和生活习惯，也正在这时候，他和女友发生了矛盾，一切似乎要走到了崩溃的边缘，要不是Jennifer Chiba的出现，按照Elliott Smith的说法，他那时真的想从悬崖上跳下去。 不能忍受公司对自己生活的窥探和干涉的Elliott Smith最后决定向公司摊牌，结果就是一张已经基本制作好的双ＣＤ被公司搁置，而Elliott Smith选择了隐居，去和女友Jennifer Chiba组织帮助受虐待儿童的基金会——他说那样他才觉得金钱让他舒服。可是他并非一个散尽家财的圣人，从未消失的低落情绪时常俘获他，多年的毒瘾和滥用酒精也让他时常失去状态。在漫长的半隐居生活中，他忍受住了令人恐惧的戒毒疗程，正在戒掉毒瘾和酒精依赖。而在２００３年，他也发行了最后两首新歌“美丽（丑陋之前）”和“一个扭曲的事实就是此刻需要自由”。在一座小山的一间地下室里，他准备着他的第６张专辑，名字就叫《From A Basement On The Hill》，一切似乎和正常，去采访他的记者说，只要谈到他的新专辑，他就会象一个在圣诞节前夜偷偷拆开礼物的孩子那样快乐。 就在死前几天，他参加电台节目，并在现场演唱新专辑的歌曲，还表示这一次他只想一个人好好地作音乐，感觉他是那么的放松。 但Elliott Smith 还是走了，他留给女友的遗言是“对不起－爱你的Elliott。上帝，请原谅我。” 很多人不明白他为什么会死去，连DreamWorks唱片公司老板Luke Woode也感到莫名其妙：Elliott Smith最近十分清醒和乐观，怎么就会自杀了呢？ 只有Elliott Smith的一个朋友看了出来，２００３年秋天，当Elliott Smith最后一次在洛杉矶演出的时候，他发现，Elliott Smith已经接近于崩溃。

Nick's debut album, released in 1969 on Island Records. 尼克的首张唱片，1969年，孤岛唱片。标题暗示英国Rizla卷烟纸， A possible source for the title is quoted by Patrick Humphries in his Nick Drake biography. It's an excerpt from a novel, 'The Last Leaf', written by American writer O. Henry around the turn of the century. A young painter is dying of pneumonia, and what keeps her alive is the ivy growing in the yard outside: 从Patrick Humphries为nick的传记里，可以找到取这个标题的缘由－－－小说《最后一片叶》的摘录，美国作家欧.亨利。一个垂死于肺炎的年青画家，支撑他生命的仅是他院子外的常春藤。 "'They're falling faster now. Three days ago there was almost a hundred. It made my head ache to count them. But now it's easy. There goes another one. There are only five left now.' 'Five what, dear?...' 'Leaves. On the ivy vine. When the last one falls I must go too'" (Humphries, p. 93) “现在掉的更快了，三天前还有百来片。为他们计数可真让我头疼。现在简单了......又掉了一片，只剩下五片了。” "五片什么？亲爱的！“ ”常春藤上的叶子，当最后一片飘落的时候我也要去了“(Humphries, Page. 93)

Independent artist Ingrid Michaelson's 2008 release Be Ok, a benefit album that will include previously unreleased songs, demos, covers and live recordings in addition to the title track (produced by Stacy Jones and Bill Lefler - Ronnie Day, Meg & Dia, Plain White T's). A portion of the proceeds will go to Stand Up To Cancer, an organization created to urgently move cancer research forward with the help of the public. She embarks on a national headlining "Be Ok" tour in late October 2008 and she designed a "Be Ok" necklace to be sold at all tour stops and online, donating all proceeds to SU2C. Her new song "Be Ok" and its video are part of the SU2C campaign.

Elliott Smith's self-titled second album was his first for the Kill Rock Stars label and also his first major artistic statement. Its sound is fairly similar to that of Roman Candle.
