Singer/songwriter Colbie Caillat is one of the most celebrated artists to emerge from the growing talent pool of digitally-savvy self-launched artists, whose rise to prominence as the #1 unsigned artist on the popular myspace site has been largely due to her refreshing sense of understatement.
With no marketing push and only the power of the music behind her, Caillat became a sensation on the social networking site. Rolling Stone highlighted her as one of the top female artists on myspace. Ultimately, her number of friends swelled to more than 100,000. Her profile has been visited over 3 million times, and she has more than l0 million plays. She's currently averaging 50,000 + a day.
The songs on Caillat's debut album COCO mirror the Malibu-born Caillat's low-key, refreshing style. Armed with her acoustic guitar and her dusky vocals, she evokes the same gentle, yet spirited style of her musical influences John Mayer, Bob Marley, Lauryn Hill and The Weepies. The laid-back tempo of Hawaii, where she spent twice annual family vacations, is echoed in the music.
"She's the real thing," stated Monte Lipman, President of Universal Republic Records. "From her unique songwriting skills to her powerful but understated presence, Colbie has connected to millions of music lovers simply through the power of her music.

Rated R is the fourth studio album by Barbadian recording artist Rihanna, first released November 20, 2009, on Def Jam Recordings. The album is a musical distance from her previous effort Good Girl Gone Bad (2007), which contained up-tempo and ballad-oriented songs, and it heavily incorporated pop and dance-pop musical styles. Conceived after Rihanna's assault by her then-boyfriend, singer Chris Brown, Rated R features different foreboding and angry tone, in terms of musical and lyrical direction, and incorporates elements of hip hop, rock, and dubstep. The album also incorporated other musical genres, such as Dancehall in the Jamaican inspired "Rude Boy" and Latin in "Te Amo".
Recording sessions for the album took place during March to November 2009 at several recording studios throughout United States and Europe. Rihanna together with L.A. Reid, Jay-Z and Carl Sturken and Evan Rogers, executively produced the album and worked with several record producers, including Chase & Status, StarGate, The-Dream, Ne-Yo, and Brian Kennedy. The album also included several featured vocalists and instrumentalist, including Young Jeezy, Will.i.am and Slash who played the guitars in "Rockstar 101".
Upon its release Rated R received positive reviews from music critics, who praised Rihanna's mature performance, and described the album as her most layered and heartfelt effort. The album debuted at number four on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling 181,000 copies in its first week in the United States. The album reached number-one in Norway, Switzerland and on the US Billboard R&B/Hip Hop Albums. On the UK Albums Chart, the album reached a peak of nine, and was certified gold in only four days.
The album produced five singles, including the international hits "Russian Roulette", "Rude Boy" and "Te Amo", together with the US releases "Hard". "Wait Your Turn" was also released as the albums promotional single. "Russian Roulette" was released as albums lead single and managed to reach top-ten in seventeen countries and topped the charts in Norway and Switzerland. "Hard reached number nine in the United States and became her thirteenth top-ten single re-tying her with Beyoncé Knowles as the female artist with the most top-ten hit singles in the United States. "Rude Boy" was a commercial success and became the only single from the album that topped the US Billboard Hot 100 for five consecutive weeks. "Rockstar 101" was released in the United States and managed to reach number two on Billboard's Hot Dance Club Songs. "Te Amo", the last international released single, managed to reach number one on Brazilian Hot 100 Airplay and peaked within the top-ten in nine other countries.

贾斯汀的新专辑《前卫性感/爱之声》从造型到歌曲都让人眼睛耳朵为之一亮,华丽的风格又将领导新一波的流行风潮。
2003年发行的首张个人专辑《Justfied(爱你无罪)》在全球大卖七百多万张,让贾斯汀成为男孩团体中毕业单飞后最成功的一颗星,阔别三年,贾斯汀全新专辑《FutureSex/LoveSounds 前卫性感/爱之声》九月发行。
贾斯汀在接受访问时解释这张专辑的概念来自于“性感””,他说:“我一直都很喜欢性感的人事物,这对我做音乐有很大的影响,很多灵感也都来自‘性感 ’”,这次的造型充斥华丽风格,贾斯汀将穿西装戴着礼帽,眼神轻佻地高唱新世代情歌。他的制作人兼好友Timberland甚至自豪的说:“贾斯汀会让大家知道什么叫做真正的性感,正如同他在歌里唱的一样”,在这张专辑中贾斯汀参与许多方面的制作,录制过程中也加入不少自己的创意。最新单曲“Sexy Back”呈现一种灰色的低调感,贾斯汀扮演高深莫测却又性感神秘的探员,在MV中与美艳的异国间谍斗智也斗色,两人激情演出让人脸红心跳。
此外,贾斯汀还透露,新专辑在制作过程中广泛吸取了各方面的音乐元素,从灵魂音乐传奇大师阿尔。格林和马文。盖伊到著名的披头士乐队和老鹰乐队,都对他的新专辑产生了一定影响。在新专辑的制作班底中,贾斯汀邀请到饶舌歌手兼制作人提姆巴兰与他一起写歌;在合音部分中,客串加盟的音乐人士包括提姆巴兰、亚特兰大说唱歌手TI和“黑眼豆豆”组合成员Will.I.Am。
谈到为何有意改变新专辑的风格,贾斯汀解释道:“我认为,在制作第二张个人专辑时尤其需要开拓思路,尝试新的内容。如果你重走老路,那你的第三张专辑、第四张专辑等都会千篇一律,你也将无法全面成长。”尽管贾斯汀一心想要改变流行乐坛潮流,但他自称,无意从迈克。杰克逊的手中接过“流行天王”的头衔,“我知道外界一直希望看到一位新的‘流行天王’,但我不是你们想象中的那唯一人选。我只做自己想做的事。”
由于近来贾斯汀和好莱坞女友卡梅隆。迪亚兹“恋情紧张”的消息广为传布,担心媒体纠缠的贾斯汀现场“下令”,只愿意回答和唱歌、表演有关的问题。事实上,卡梅隆以及贾斯汀的妈妈也在巴黎陪伴贾斯汀此次全球音乐宣传,顺便享受假期。近日,还有狗仔拍到迪亚兹与未来婆婆在巴黎逛街的照片。看得出,迪亚兹与男友母亲相处十分融洽,未来婆婆对迪亚兹好似亲人,看来,儿子与迪亚兹的4年恋情,老母亲早就认定了,难怪外界分手谣言满天飞,也丝毫动摇不了这对姐弟恋的稳固恋情。

我们盼来了今年BBC Sound 2007的获奖者Mika的个人专辑了,这位黎巴嫩裔的歌手已经让无数人开始用许久不见的字眼来形容他的嗓音,不过把他的狂放的演唱比作Freddie Mercury我看也不是很过分。他的首支单曲已经在冠军位置上待了三个礼拜了,无论是不是打破四周的纪录,Mika都已经证明他是近年来最成功的新人,也是两年失误之后,BBC预测正确的明日之星。Mika的这张Life in Cartoon Motion已经不完全是一张专辑了,他是一张masterpiece,每首歌曲都充满了Mika的个人魅力,就是今年年底才发行这张专辑,我也觉得等待完全值得。Grace Kelly的确让人想起Queen的许多音乐,那种史诗般的感觉,那种真正活在音乐中的个性,Mika的演唱是无与伦比的,更无与伦比的是这张专辑的音乐,在Grace Kelly之后的第二首单曲还是同样歌剧般的歌曲Love Today,也许不是第二首单曲的最佳选择,不过Mika的演唱要来的比Grace Kelly更加大胆,假声的演唱都胜过了Scissor Sisters,实际上,歌迷们比较喜欢的还是另外一首歌曲,他是专辑中最佳,最与众不同,最有力量的作品,那就是Relax, Take It Easy。想象一下当年Scissor Sisters走红的歌曲Comfortably Numb,Relax, Take It Easy是一首原创的Comfortably Numb,虽然不是专辑的第二单曲,单曲已经出现了英国下载排行榜上了,放下了华丽的外衣的是My Interpretation,Daniel Powter一般的抒情歌曲,没有美轮美奂的假声,没有复杂的电子,有的只是比较真诚的原来的Mika,Lollipop则更加像是一首音乐剧的歌曲,中速的节奏,catchy的旋律,咬字有特别的清晰,Mika的音乐从某种意义上说是一种做秀,他把一切能够的元素都运用起来,比如在Any Other World中,弦乐让你的心跳加速,而歌曲的环境又像是Mad World一般的黑暗,结尾的Happy Ending同样不容错过。

In Sydney, Australia, Lenka was a teen actress who trained with Cate Blanchett, thereafter landing leading roles on stage, television and indie films. A self-described 'punk-ass art school student' and vocalist/keyboardist for acclaimed indie Electronic/ambient outfit Decoder Ring. She has flung herself into two new worlds simultaneously: she's moved to California and become a solo artist. Whether channelling our long-repressed terrors ('Trouble') or long-lost innocence ('We Will Not Grow Old'), her music evokes primal emotions, unblemished by pretense or cynicism and unashamed of cracking a smile occasionally. Lenka's fresh sensibility extends to every element of her music, as the whimsical, paper art, stoimated videos she creates.'It's a mood-enhancer,' she says of her record, 'I don't like it when people are depressed. I want to cheer them up.'

不论中外,吉他唱作人路线有如历久不衰依然受尽青睐,近年他方的英国陆续有不少新鲜上阵的唱作型女歌手,今次有被誉为“新Amy Winehouse”的Adele。年仅19岁的Adele生於英国Tottenham,自幼受爵士乐薰陶,如Ella Fitzgerald和Etta Jame都是她陪伴她成长的“音乐老师”。早于14岁已开始作曲,及后毕业于著名表演艺术学府BRIT School,亦即于Kate Nash、Amy Winehouse和Katie Melua等人份属校友。毕业后曾跟随不少音乐人作巡演乐手,如Jamie T、Amos Lee和Keren Ann等。
07年底分别推出了两张细碟《Hometown Glory》和《Chasing Pavements》,直至本月底首张专辑《19》才上市。尽管年纪轻轻,但她的唱腔并不幼嫩,混合骚灵的技巧及具爆发力的演译,唱功不容忽视。有人认为她的声线像Dusty Springfield和Jill Scott,那略带低沉而沙哑的嗓子颇适合唱爵士和蓝调。
据她所说这张专辑是关于18至19岁年青人的爱情,是一张比较失落的唱片。但从单曲《Chasing Pavements》和《Hometown Glory》的旋律中,渗透出的成熟韵味,并非年轻爱侣的小情小爱。
《Daydreamer》中以Acoustic吉他作伴奏,刻意放轻的唱腔结合旋律流露出简朴之美。同类型的《Melt My Heart To Stone》则较具节奏感,那充满感情的演译,更为动听。
喜欢写诗的她,在写歌词的时候亦有渗进其中,尽显才情。当Amy Winehouse过著荒唐日子之时,且看她会否藉此机会攀上更高位置。

Mariah Carey 2008年最新专辑《E=MC²》,也是她的第11张录音室大碟。
E=MC² 是爱因斯坦的著名理论,也就是质量和能量之间转化的公式,当然Mariah Carey采用这个作为专辑名称也是有寓意的。“E”代表Emancipation(呼应上一张专辑《The Emancipation of Mimi》),即释放、解放;“MC”就是Mariah Carey的首字母缩写,E=MC²于是就有了另一个含义。
其中《Touch My Body》也成为Mariah Carey的第18支冠军单曲,这一成绩超过了“猫王”埃尔维斯·普莱斯利(Elvis Presley),她因此成为仅次于披头士乐队的艺人。闻听喜讯后的Mariah Carey在接受美联社采访时表示:“我从不认为自己是那种既革命了音乐又改变了世界的人。这是一个完全不同的时代纪元……我只是很开心,很感激。”披头士仍以20首冠军单曲领先所有歌手。
《Touch My Body》不但登上公告牌的冠军,还在发行的第一周就以28.6万的下载量稳坐数字下载榜的头名。Mariah Carey说她很感激自己能跻身猫王、披头士等伟大歌手之列,因为这不只是她个人的成功,而且对女歌手和少数派而言都意义重大。她说:“我所在流派在音乐界总有种局外人的感觉,谢谢上苍,在我遭到否定的时候给了我自信的信念。”

专辑介绍
一介新人能与乐坛传奇媲美,可见来头不小。但是这位 新人 还是希望,早日能够摆脱「新amy winehouse」,「21世纪的Dusty Springfield」等封号。「我努力的很久才获得今日的成就,我的声音值得大家记得我的名字- Duffy达菲。」
duffy来自威尔士靠海的乡下地方Nefyn,逛唱片行可得要坐公交车到隔壁城镇,看音乐节目得跟爸爸借一千零一卷的60年代电视节目录像带,也从这么一卷带子让她反复欣赏Beatles、Rolling Stones等巨星风采。除此之外,生长环境几乎等同于山顶洞人,让达菲音乐天份不受任何限制、不受任何影响,全然的随性养成,造就其自然奔放且毫无界限的灵魂唱腔。Duffy达菲、就这么成为25年来第一个拿下金榜冠军的威尔士女歌手。
15岁时开始自组乐团,大学时被电视台发掘参加如Pop Idol的实境歌唱选秀节目,获得亚军,也让她辗转认识了前Suede吉他手Bernard Butler,初见面就被Duffy几乎与世隔绝却如此真诚的歌声感动,二话不说就自愿担任她首张专辑制作人,为她的特出嗓音找到最佳乐团编制与曲式,果然让Duffy一鸣惊人,两度获邀至英国收视最高主持人Jools Holland的现场音乐节目表演,高度曝光让她首支正式单曲“Mercy”还未发行就以网络销量空降No.1、连带处女大碟【Rockferry】同步空降英国冠军。
带着现今乐坛少有的blue-eyed soul乐团风味,专辑同名曲“Rockferry”是献给父亲原乡的衷曲,而接在连美国MTV都大力叫好的冠军单曲“Mercy”之后,伤心情歌 “Warwick Avenue”则唱出了在车站遇见前男友的心情故事。Duffy已被BBC专业DJ群票选为2008最受瞩目新星、更被看好入围明年的全英音乐奖,即使这样她走在路上还会被问到这副声音是怎么来的,她也只是耸肩回答「就和我的眼睛是蓝色的道理一样啊」!

专辑介绍
一介新人能与乐坛传奇媲美,可见来头不小。但是这位 新人 还是希望,早日能够摆脱「新amy winehouse」,「21世纪的Dusty Springfield」等封号。「我努力的很久才获得今日的成就,我的声音值得大家记得我的名字- Duffy达菲。」
duffy来自威尔士靠海的乡下地方Nefyn,逛唱片行可得要坐公交车到隔壁城镇,看音乐节目得跟爸爸借一千零一卷的60年代电视节目录像带,也从这么一卷带子让她反复欣赏Beatles、Rolling Stones等巨星风采。除此之外,生长环境几乎等同于山顶洞人,让达菲音乐天份不受任何限制、不受任何影响,全然的随性养成,造就其自然奔放且毫无界限的灵魂唱腔。Duffy达菲、就这么成为25年来第一个拿下金榜冠军的威尔士女歌手。
15岁时开始自组乐团,大学时被电视台发掘参加如Pop Idol的实境歌唱选秀节目,获得亚军,也让她辗转认识了前Suede吉他手Bernard Butler,初见面就被Duffy几乎与世隔绝却如此真诚的歌声感动,二话不说就自愿担任她首张专辑制作人,为她的特出嗓音找到最佳乐团编制与曲式,果然让Duffy一鸣惊人,两度获邀至英国收视最高主持人Jools Holland的现场音乐节目表演,高度曝光让她首支正式单曲“Mercy”还未发行就以网络销量空降No.1、连带处女大碟【Rockferry】同步空降英国冠军。

专辑的名字来自一位墨西哥艺术家Frida Kahlo给自己的一幅画的命名。
在这张专辑制作的早期,三名乐队成员各自把对新专辑的想法都写在一张白板上,每一个人的想法都很激进前卫,最后,Chris Martin收回了他的看法。他希望以后有机会再游说他们。"我听到波诺曾经说过一句话,'乐队不应该为钱而分裂,他们应该只为了歌曲名单而分裂,'”他说,在这一点上,没有什么比这更有针对性了。”
乐队聘请了传奇制片人Brian Eno做他们第4张专辑的制作人。并且,他们有针对性地试图排除一切外来影响。吉他手Johnny Buckland说: "我们感觉自己的头三张专辑是一个三部曲,我们已经完成了。因此,我们想要做一些不同的。" 乐队让记者听了一下他们正在制作的歌曲小样,大多数听起来令人耳目一新, 完全不同于他们以往的热门歌曲“Clocks”和“Speed Of Sound”。
好几首歌相当粗糙靠近边缘,伴随着扭曲的吉他和更加突出的敲击。歌词是暗色调的,反复出现了死亡和孤独的主题。其中有几首歌,Martin延长他的声带调色板,其表现大大超出了人们对他以往运用假声的理解,其音色低沉,性感,给人的感觉更个人,更真实。"不管这样好还是不好,我们已经开始在音乐里融入更多的色彩。”Martin说。 "取悦每一个人是不可能做到的,我们经历了这么长时间才体会到这一点。这样说让人觉得自由——可能没有一个人喜欢我们做的这些东西,但我们此时此刻就是想这样做,而且要把它做完为止。”
在新专辑里,乐队探索了各种声波的方向,其中一些来自制作人呢Brain Eno的启发和鼓励。"他不主观臆断,做出来的东西令人耳目一新。”Matin说。Buckland补充说, "他不仅仅是带来声音或其他东西,他带来了对一切事情的想法,甚至具体到,怎样构筑我们渡过的这一天。他的建议让我们停下来,仔细考虑很多问题。”
