She writes the sort of classic, sad songs once favored by the first ladies of American songwriting. On this, her first solo full-length, she evokes the artistry of greats like Carole King, Laura Nyro, and Rickie Lee Jones, while spanning the spectrum from acoustic folk to electronic dream pop. The all-star cast includes Cursive's Gretta Cohn, Now It's Overhead's Andy LeMaster, and Bright Eyes' Conor Oberst and Mike Mogis.
Maria Taylor,上个寒假才喜欢上的歌手,能在不经意间给我心灵最深的震颤。低沉的声线,还有一种令我着迷的冷艳和淡漠。但那不是真的,淡淡的外表藏着一颗深情的心,你听,她唱:I will wait for you….等待,没有什么比这更能考验感情,但是她就那样平静的唱出来了,仿佛那不是什么好惊动别人的事情。这是我的......
可以说Maria Taylor的声音 多听是会上瘾的
忘了怎么在豆瓣上发现Azure Ray的Hold On Love 当时觉得那时的唱片封套应该是一般的流行曲风 就去EmULE下载专集 准备过一遍
但我听到Across The Ocean这首歌时几乎是被感染到哭 所以在失眠时这张专集取代了KEREN ANN......
Maria Taylor是个有点像女巫,有点邪邪的冷艳的女子,虽然有极度温柔细致的嗓音(她的嗓音和唱法很难能模仿的了),却还是让人觉得即使是那么温暖动人的音乐也透露着一点冷冷的信息出来,她的声音让人想到面无表情的脸,想到独自看着来往的人群的感觉,这种体会在接触Auzure Ray时候就已经有了,只不过,在听到11:11......
Maria Taylor的声音是不想忘记的梦境,有点模糊,有点不懂,但是喜欢。
《Birmingham 1982》和《Song beneath the song》是这张木头人专辑里的最爱,并且我可以很兴奋地宣布,这两首都是我的walking song,因为旋律和我的步调出奇地搭,无论是以怎样的情绪走哪...... (2回应)
《11:11》让我想到了以通感契合理论为核心的感应说:在人与自然契合感应的同时,人的各种感觉器官之间也是通感的。在她的音乐中深刻地体会到五官通感以及象征主义的魅力。大自然就呈现在眼前,不仅有声响和音乐,还有色彩和芬芳,色彩在说话,香气在诉说着观念的世界。
Two Of Those Two是单纯地回述往事,怀念已逝......
