一聽音樂網

Brandi Carlile的歌聲很像咖啡，聽了容易上癮。她沒有eman的溫柔，很多時候她都很像在吶喊，故事一個一個的說下去，聽的人痛苦，唱的人也很累，但我們就這樣不知不覺的從她的歌聲里找到了出口?！癆ll of these lines across my face / Tell you the story of who i am / So many stories of where i've been / And now i've got to where i am.....”這么歇斯底里的情感讓我想起at17剛出道詮釋“旋渦”的那種重重的唱法。。。沉重得可怕。

所以，如果今天你決定放棄at17一天，那么去聽一聽Brandi Carlile吧，或許她的音樂會更適合你今天的心情。

如果說Brandi Carlile的聲音太像咖啡的話，那paolo nutini就像是一個在酒吧里唱了太多年歌的搖滾歌手。這么年輕，聲音卻偏偏那么成熟，情感和經驗完全不成對比。一個月前我重復的播著他的歌，只為了那句“These streets have too many names for me / I'm used to Glenfield Road and spending my time down in Orchy / I'll be used to these eventually / I know....”

有時候不為什么，只為了一些情誼結，如一句一針見血的歌詞。這是多么的愚蠢。。。 (文@shini)

The Brandi Carlile story so far is fairly short: fresh-faced singer-songwriter from rural Ravensdale, Washington, quietly releases a 2005 debut that has critics and fans reaching for their thesauruses searching for appropriate adjectives to describe her voice. Patsy Cline, Jeff Buckley, kd lang, Beth Orton, Linda Ronstadt, and Aimee Mann get name-checked as Carlile and her guitar-and-bass-playing Hanseroth twins-led band criss-cross the country for two years, first as openers, then as headliners. Cue the overproduced, disappointing follow-up album? Not so fast. On The Story, Carlile teams up with veteran roots producer T Bone Burnett, who brings in vintage equipment and strips down her sound. Instead of using overdubs, the new songs--most of which were already road-tested--are recorded live, giving the ballads and midtempo rockers a tough, uncompromising edge and a fuller, more aggressive attack. Echoes of country and folk color the bucolic "Have You Ever" and the unadorned acoustic "Cannonball," but it's the sweeping drama of the more epic-sounding "Until I Die," "Late Morning Lullaby," and the U2-styled "My Song" that leave the greatest lasting impressions. Carlile and Burnett make a perfect team: he allows her malleable voice room to soar in the mix while she brings sharp original songs that exude confidence, pride, and emotion. It's a combustive combination and one that results in a sophomore release every bit as good, and in many respects better, than her first. Stay tuned as the story continues. -- Hal Horowitz
