Joshua Radin出生于俄亥俄州的沙克海茨城(SHAKER HEIGHTS),从小生长在摩城唱片,史塔克斯唱片和披头士的唱片之中。与许多70年代的歌手一样,他在完成了大学学业后才正式开始了他的音乐事业。
成名经历: Joshua Radin
在Joshua Radin的少年时代,似乎从没有意识到自己将来会从事音乐创作,尽管他自幼就喜欢唱歌。他后来来到了纽约,开始自学吉他。在2004年,他很偶然地写了一首名叫Winter的歌,Radin的好友,演员兼导演Zach Braff听到他创作的《Winter》的样本时,立刻被吸引住了,并把这首歌曲用在了喜剧《Scrubs》中的一集《My Screw Up》里。这支歌曲反响很好,观众非常喜欢,纷纷要求听到他更多的作品。而Radin也随着这部喜剧而崭露头角,他的其他的几首歌《Today》《Closer》《Don't Look Away》和《These Photographs》也在剧中引用。而Joshua Radin也因之发现音乐才是他的事业,很快他就签约到Columbia唱片公司,并出版了第一张EP唱片《First Between 3rd And 4th 》。
从那以后,Radin的歌曲在很多节目中都被引用。像是《Scrubs》《Brothers and Sisters》《Grey's Anatomy》《American Idol》《One Tree Hill》《Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip》中,都有他的歌曲。他的歌曲《Star Mile》收录在了《The Last Kiss》的电影原声碟中,《What If You》收在了《Catch and Release》的电影原声碟中,还有《someone else's life》和《When you find me》被收录在了09年最新电影《Adam》中。

8.1 (105 个评分) Maroon 5 类型: 流行
发布日期 2007年5月22日 出版发行: A&M / Octone Records
在大获成功的处子作《Songs About Jane》已经发行了五年之后,来自美国洛杉矶的当红流行摇滚乐队“魔力红”(Maroon 5)才终于交出了他们的第二张录音室专辑《It Won''t Be Soon Before Long》。在美国上市第一周内,《It Won't Be Soon Before Long》的销量达到42万9千张,创造了Maroon 5乐队单周专辑销量的最高纪录。此前,Maroon 5的单周销量纪录由《Songs About Jane》保持,但在当时(2004年12月),《Songs About Jane》发行第一周内的销量也只有13万8千张。
虽然《Songs About Jane》早在2002年就已经发行,但直到2005年和2006年,Maroon 5才成为格莱美评出的“最佳新人”和“最佳流行乐队”。虽然只发行了一张专辑,但Maroon 5就这样不知不觉地走红了。然而,一跃成为“最佳流行摇滚乐队”的Maroon 5并没有急于立刻推出他们的第二张专辑。在准备这张新作的时候,他们在投入了极大耐心的同时还更加重视了专辑整体的质量。这次,Maroon 5请到了多位非常有经验的流行音乐制作人为他们这张唱片把关,这些制作人包括曾与Fiona Apple和Eminem合作过的Mike Elizondo,曾与Bjork、Keane和Gwen Stefani合作过的Mark "Spike" Stent,曾与Madonna合作过的Mark Endert以及与Queens of the Stone Age乐队合作过的Eric Valentine。
在这些流行音乐届大腕级音乐人的打造之下,《It Won't Be Soon Before Long》处处透出的都是走在时尚前沿的声音。无论是开场曲《If I Never See Your Face Again》和《Little of Your Time》,还是《Little Of Your Time》和《Wake Up Call》,或是《Can't Stop》都很有去年红透美国的流行小天王Justin Timberlake的气质,在Adam Levine独特的嗓音之下铺垫的是时尚的舞曲元素以及以及复古的Funk,R&B节奏。《Won't Go Home Without You》有着煽情的歌词,明显是为刚刚失恋的小青年们写的。此后的《Nothing Lasts Forever》,《Goodnight Goodnight》,《Better That We Break》和《Back At Your Door》都是旋律非常上口的慢版情歌,跟前半部分几首动感的快歌刚好互补。
可以看的出来,Maroon 5是一直非常聪明的乐队,他们很清楚现在的歌迷们需要什么。这张《It Won't Be Soon Before Long》很好的迎合了当今流行乐坛歌迷们的口味。

Scars & Stories 豆瓣
6.8 (25 个评分) The Fray 类型: 摇滚
发布日期 2012年2月7日 出版发行: Epic Records
Critically acclaimed Denver-based foursome The Fray are back with their third album, Scars & Stories. The album was recorded at the legendary Blackbird Studios in Nashville.
The Fray was able to hone their sound with the help of producer Brendan O'Brien (Bruce Springsteen, Pearl Jam, and Neil Young). On the new recording, the band transforms their real life experiences into a collection of songs that are reflective, but still maintain a pop sensibility. The making of Scars and Stories fostered the most evolution the band has ever experienced, both lyrically and musically. "On our first record, we didn't quite trust ourselves yet," says lead-singer Isaac Slade. "We loosened up on the second album, but there was still some element of restraint. But on this one, we just stepped up to plate and swung as hard as we could."
Scars & Stories leads with first single "Heartbeat," of which Slade notes, "That song came out of a period of my life when I was trying hard to be open to whatever came my way. I traveled through South Africa and Rwanda with a buddy, and at first it was really hard to stay open in the face of so much pain and heartache. But then I ended up meeting so many cool and inspiring people, and all these ideas for lyrics and melodies just started rushing in." The inspiration specifically came from a chance meeting with an expatriate woman. Speaking of the miracle of the capital city overcoming such remarkable odds, the two held hands and Slade reveals "I felt so connected to her. I couldn t tell if it was her pulse or mine."
The Fray is Isaac Slade (pianist/vocalist), Joe King (guitarist/vocalist), Dave Welsh (guitarist), and Ben Wysocki (drummer). The band formed in 2002 after high school friends Slade and King bumped into each other at a local guitar shop. The group achieved national success with their first single, "Over My Head (Cable Car)," which became a top ten hit in the U.S. The release of their second single, "How to Save a Life" brought them worldwide fame, and the group's second self-titled album debuted at number-one on the Billboard charts and was also nominated for a Grammy Award for Best Pop Vocal Album.

City of Black & White 豆瓣
Mat Kearney 类型: 流行
发布日期 2009年5月19日 出版发行: Sony
2009 release from the American singer/songwriter, the follow-up to his hit album Nothing Left to Lose. City Of Black & White is an album informed by the traveling, performing and adventuring the Oregon-born, Nashville-based singer did while supporting that breakthrough album. An open-hearted album of self-discovery, City of Black & White is a chronicle of the people he met and missed during that journey. Musically, it's an upping of the ante, laced with hooks and rhythms that are meant to sneak up on you quietly and quickly, en route to winning your love.

★AOL讚誉「下一位John Mayer」、亚马逊网站编辑评选今年最佳唱片之一
★包办词曲创作/製作/演唱/吉他,擅长钢琴和口琴之创作才子首张主流厂牌专辑
★融合acoustic/folk-rock、hip-hop、rap等风格,John Mayer、Sheryl Cr ow巡演指定嘉宾
被AOL誉为「下一位John Mayer」,正忙於担任John Mayer和Sheryl Crow巡迴演唱会暖场嘉宾的创作歌手Mat Kearney,一次暑假应製作人朋友之邀写歌,因此而获得一纸唱片合约,04年在独立厂牌下出版了首张专辑《Bullet》,也开啟了他的专业音乐生涯。词曲创作、製作、演唱、吉他一首包办,也擅长钢琴和口琴,喜欢写作和诗集,培养出Mat Kearney不同於一般时下RAP的风格,音乐才子Mat Kearney擅长将acoustic/folk-rock融合hip-hop,加入主流唱片厂牌的新专辑《Nothing Left To Lose》一半选自於《Bullet》,另一半新作品〈Can't Break Her Fall〉〈Where We Gonna Go From Here〉和〈Nothing Left To Lose〉等则加重了吉他,更加凸显Mat Kearney独特的音乐风格,已在全美电台累计相当的点播率,也顺利打进Billoard 200专辑榜,获得Top Christian Albums#8和Top Heatseekers#4的佳绩。
身为虔诚的基督徒,Mat Kearney对社会人文怀抱著关怀,〈All I Need〉就是根据两位朋友遭受卡翠娜颶风亲身体验的故事写成的,叙事诗随笔〈Crashing Down〉和钢琴为主的能量抒情曲〈In the Middle〉非常具有Coldplay的味道。亲和力的嗓音特质、纯净而具水準的编曲、在Mat Kearney和製作人好友Marvin的精心掌控下,真实呈现了他的诚恳和用心。融合John Mayer般精良的音乐水準、 Toby Mac式RAP、神似Coldplay主唱Chris Martin的唱腔,成功跨越了音乐界限,独特的Mat Kearney无疑有如流行乐坛上的一股清流,时而揪心,时而煽动,充满灵性巧思的《Nothing Left To Lose》被Amazon.com编辑誉为「one of the top releases of the year thus far(年度最佳专辑之一)」,也证明了Mat Kearney不容置疑的音乐形象!
