The Defamation of Strickland Banks (Deluxe Edition)
豆瓣
简介
以"木吉他的英式R&B情歌"概念成名的Plan B,让嘻哈乐界期待已久的这位Uk Garage奇才终于发行了他全新专辑The Defamation Of Strickland Banks。全球嘻哈在美国的影响下显得黑人味道十足,而在90年代末,英国团队组织So Solid Crew则开始把英式嘻哈发扬光大,日后称作UK Garage,包括之后出来的像The Streets,MJ Cole以及号称旋律奇才的Plan B,都成为英式嘻哈的代表。
将电子乐作为音乐制作的主打概念,包揽2 Step,Drum&Bass等英国招牌音乐类型,这就是UK Garage的特色所在。而Plan B不光是依靠与Pendulum,Sub Force等这些Drum&Bass王牌合作,更是拥有最大的特点:"木吉他的英式R&B情歌"。
新专辑并没有在嘻哈上大作文章,而是改由独立化的手法来表现Funk,Soul和些许嘻哈色彩,可谓其手法是前无古人后无来者。
2010 Sophomore album produced by Paul Epworth (Florence+the Machine) from English singer/rapper and follow up to his Top 40 (UK) debut "Who Needs Actions When You Got Words (2006)".
