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」!

Adele怀着极其复杂的心情公布了她的全新片 “21”,这张新专辑将明年1月24日在英国地区发行,二月底在北美地区发行。随着发行专辑前,新专辑里第一首单曲 “Rolling In the Deep” 会于1月16日公布,这张新专辑大部分录制工作是在美国 Malibu 完成,并与传奇性唱片制作人Rick Rubin( Johnny Cash, Jay Z, Red Hot Chilli Peppers )一同合作,后期是她回到伦敦后与制作人Paul Epworth ( Plan B, Bloc Party, Florence )负责完成, 按照Adele自己的方式,这是一张有着忧郁的布鲁斯、福音和Disco的风格作品。 对于新专辑她如此说道,“关于‘21’,我感觉非常兴奋、紧张、热烈渴望甚至也有些焦虑,但很开心在这里向大家公布,我花了很长一段时间。新专辑和两年前的‘19’会有所不同,因为我现在处理的创作方式和心态也不同于以前,我现在变得更有耐心,更诚恳,更宽恕也更能意识到自己的不足,一些个人习性和原则所在。我想一些事情也是伴随着年龄而不断发生的,所以新专辑贴切的命名为‘21’,我的第一专辑以‘19’命名原因也是如此,像是关于我自己的一个目录一样,所有发生在自己身上的一切事物,就像是以照片的方式一样在记录着我个人这些年来的成长发展和改变。” 这两年来她也听取了来自许多不同音乐人的作品,特别是像Wanda Jackson, Allison Krauss, Yvonne Fair, Andrew Bird, Neko Case等。有关于专辑“21”的创作灵感,她还列下了一长串的音乐人名字表示对他们的热烈敬爱,像Mary J Blige, Mos Def, Elbow, Tom Waits, Kanye West, Alanis Morissette和Sinead O’Connor等等

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。

「上一張專輯關於分手,如果要這張專輯下一個註解,我會說是它是一張和解/彌補的作品。」─ 愛黛兒
★關於與自己和解,關於彌補消逝的時光。葛萊美 / 全英音樂獎 / 奧斯卡金像獎 / 金球獎流行天后完美回歸
★全球3000萬銷量經典專輯《21》後,暌違近五年全新專輯
★首支單曲〈Hello〉橫掃102國iTunes冠軍,【親愛媽咪】【聽媽媽的話】加拿大天才導演Xavier Dolan操刀MV首日創下2770萬點播紀錄
★〈Rolling in the Deep〉葛萊美搭檔Paul Epworth再度攜手合作,力邀告示牌冠軍天王Bruno Mars、葛萊美得主Max Martin(Taylor Swift、Katy Perry)、Greg Kurstin(Ellie Goulding、Lana Del Rey、Sia)、嘻哈怪傑Danger Mouse,新生代英倫鋼琴才子Tobias Jesso Jr.聯手打造。
25 is the upcoming third studio album recorded by British singer and songwriter Adele. It is scheduled to be released on 20 November 2015, through XL Recordings. Following the release and international success of Adele's second studio album 21 (2011), she had planned to quit the music industry and go out on a positive note. However, Adele decided to take a hiatus instead and raise her son. During her sabbatical, she suffered with writer's block and rescheduled the album's studio sessions fearing she had lost her ability to write songs. In 2013, Adele had a breakthrough and the material that eventually became 25 manifested, with writing and recording continuing through to 2015. According to the singer, the album's title is a reflection of her when she was 25 and the frame of mind she was in during that age.
The lead single, "Hello", was a critical and commercial success, topping the charts in 26 countries including the United Kingdom and the United States, where "Hello" became the first single to sell one-million downloads in a release week.
