从1995年以一曲“Always You”开始，来自瑞典这个北方国度的甜美清新邻家女孩Sophie Zelmani，便以其生活化、发自内心真诚的诗意词句，简单乾净透澈却能直接触摸隐藏在心灵深处纤纤情感的音乐，而征服了瑞典、欧陆乃至亚洲的广大歌迷。。
8e6Sophie Zelmani的音乐之所以能像她的人一样，情感纤细、纯净亲切而动人，那是因为她的歌直接纪录了她的成长心路历程。这张精选辑包括GOING HOME(王菲的 乘客原曲)、Always You等。
从收录“Always You”、“A Thousand s”等单曲，甜美羞涩的首张同名专辑，到走红之后面对漫长的巡回演出与数不尽的访谈而感到痛苦，继而使其创作呈现出苦涩与深沉黑暗气氛的第二张专辑《Precious Burden》，再到即将迎向曙光、向伤感告别的第三张专辑《 To Kill》，以及如今的最新作品“Sing And Dance”－彷佛用音乐来回忆着过去那个在情感或生理上正要愈合
然而一旦触碰到还是会带来疼痛的伤口－Sophie Zelmani就像个挚友般分享着她的情感与心情变化，唯一不变的是她的音乐表现方式，依然是清脆的吉他合弦衬托着她温暖甜美的歌声，恰如其分不喧宾夺主的鼓与贝斯，陪衬上彷如远方传来的萨克司风及逐渐贴近的长笛或小提琴悠扬旋律，传递出彷佛在冷飕飕的秋天夜晚漫步走在瑞典已然结霜的路上，脚底还不时传出嘎吱细碎声响，那沁凉萧瑟绝美的意境，让人愈听愈沉醉其中难以自拔。

专辑介绍：在Secondhand Serenade首张专辑《Awake》发行后将近一年的时间，其重回乐坛带来了他令人期待的第二张专辑《A Twist In My Story》。这张名称恰如其分的专辑在Secondhand Serenade（又称John Vesely）标志性的自然歌喉上添加了交响元素同时配以完整乐队的支持。“我继承了很多第一张专辑里的东西，这是因为我写歌的方式本身并没有改变。只是变得更加复杂罢了。但是这次的改变是必须的，因为无论就个人还是表演者而言，我已经改进了，”Vesely评论道。“我只是想更加富有创造力，同时制作自己想要的歌曲。我所使用的都是我认为每首歌曲所需要的，这就意味着我需要向原来的蛋糕添加新的糕层了。”
这些新的层面在专辑的开始部分就显现了出来。开首一曲“Like A Knife”马上让人感受到了一部用心的作品所呈现的弦乐、标志和弦以及真情演绎的歌词。Butch Walker制作的情歌“Fall For You”紧随其后，如同许多歌曲一样，这是一首John搭配钢琴的歌曲。专辑之后的歌曲都是属于混合类型的，包括“Stranger”、“Maybe”以及得益于完整乐队支撑的快歌“Suppose”。其他诸如“Why”、“Goodbye”以及专辑同名歌曲“A Twist In My Story”只是证明了此种去除雕饰的歌曲形式同样让人印象深刻。
总之，Secondhand Serenade满足了他的支持者，他提到正是这些支持者帮助他到达了人生的这一点。他说：“没有我歌迷的支持，我什么都做不到。我现在和将来的任何成功都离不开他们。”正是因为这个原因，他无论是在网上还是在表演中都与歌迷保持着亲密的联系，对此他很得意。《A Twist In My Story》对Secondhand Serenade来说是一个新的篇章，这张专辑带领你经历爱情与生活的起起落落。John Vesely，一位沿着自己生活轨迹诉说故事的人，正在他无尽的故事长河中推出新的波澜。(资料整理自网络)

Phil Wickham is a Contemporary Christian artist from San Diego, California. His most recent album, last year's "Heaven and Earth", was a bit of a breakthrough release, reaching number 55 on Billboard's Album charts (as well as #4 on the Christian charts). He's got sort of that American Idol vocal quality to him. I know some people take that as insulting, but it's just a Contemporary Vocal style--a mix of contemporary pop and old school MOR--and that's the easiest way to describe it. Song clips are available on Wickham's website, if you'd like to reach your own conclusions on his sound. Can't tell too much from 30 second clips, but "Christmas Time" struck my fancy.
"Songs For Christmas" is only available direct from the artist, so far as I can discern. And only for a limited time (he warns). The digital release is available immediately. Hard copy releases are only being sold with other merchandise and will be shipped on or about November 19.

英国灵歌天后阿黛尔（Adele）为《007》最新系列电影《Skyfall 天降杀机》献唱同名主题曲《Skyfall》，而这也将是继美国另类摇滚乐队Garbage、莎丽·贝希（Shirley Bassey）、保罗·麦卡特尼（Paul McCartney）以及麦当娜（Madonn）等曾经为007系列电影的主题曲做过贡献的又一超级大牌歌手。
One good thing: we’ll have Adele singing “Skyfall” at the Oscars next February. It’s a cinch for a Best Song nomination.
此外，确定有奥斯卡提名 并且会在颁奖礼上演唱。

We Shot The Moon is a pop rock band based out of San Diego, California. They are the brainchild of Jonathan Jones, the former lead singer of the now defunct band Waking Ashland. When they called it quits in July of 2007, Jonathan kept writing in hopes of continuing his career in music, and thus We Shot The Moon was formed.
In August of 2007 the band entered a studio in Orange County and began work on the bands debut EP titled he Polar Bear and Cougar? Jonathan enlisted the help of his friends Dan Koch and Joe Greenetz, who are both from the band Sherwood, to work on writing and recording the songs. The EP was co produced by Michael Rosas and Dan Koch.
We Shot The Moon are currently on tour in the United States. They have slated the release of their EP for Fall of 2007 and have announced they will release their full length album in stores Spring 2008.

最近在shuffle里狂听Daniel Powter ，在路上，在地铁上，感觉这人就像一个永远在路上的诗人，随遇而安，只可惜他不能随时把钢琴带在身上，很期待看到夏天的DIANEL，大热天他总不见得还老戴绒线帽吧~
总之，这是一张反复听也不容易审美疲劳的专辑，严重推荐Free Loop，Bad Day，Lost on the stoop

John Williams 为 1993 年电影《辛德勒的名单》创作的配乐，此条目为 1993 年 MCA 原版。
这份原声带由小提琴大师 Itzhak Perlman 连同 John Williams 常年指挥的波士顿通俗管弦乐团（Boston Pops Orchestra）演奏。作为 Williams 的杰作之一，这份作品充沛的力量和悲伤的基调在他的众多配乐中是非常特别的，值得原声爱好者收藏。（罗伊）

法国导演Jean-Pierre Jeunet影片《天使爱美丽》Amelie from Montmartre的原声大碟。
鲜艳饱和的色泽，奇幻狂想的缤纷，片中每个画面都是美得让人舍不得眨眼的巴黎！电影上映前两个月，配乐迟迟未敲定，导演助理告诉他，有个作曲家Yann Tierson最近满红的，回家路上放来听听看吧。车子还没开到家，导演已不停惊叹：这就是我要的巴黎感觉！然而，当时年方30的Yann Tierson新专辑发行在即，无暇为整部电影作配乐，于是，导演由旧专辑挑选曲目，再加上Tierson15天之内赶工谱写的新乐段，《天使爱美丽》于是诞生。原声带迄今于法已破22万张销售！层层叠叠的钢琴、小提琴、手风琴、鼓声、口琴…构成Yann Tierson自成一格的异想世界，低吟时像打在湖面轻泛涟漪的细雨，轻盈时便化作跳动的水瓢，音符简洁短促，主旋律带出一次次变奏，旋律就这般悠然荡漾。
另外值得一提的是，Yann Tierson同时也是《再见,列宁!》(Good Bye, Lenin!)的原声作曲者。

Demi Lovato had lofty goals for Here We Go Again: "I wanted not only to make a great album, but I also want my music to inspire people, to help them get through whatever they're going through in their lives. That's the ultimate goal with every piece of music I make." On Here We Go Again, with ultra-personal songs like the irresistible, buoyant title track, the hard-rockin', sultry "Got Dynamite" and confessional pop perfection of "Solo," Demi met--and exceeded--her goals. The multi-talented 16-year-old became a household name thanks to TV smashes--her starring roles in the Disney Channel sitcom "Sonny With a Chance" and movie "Camp Rock"--but, Demi says emphatically, "music is my first love."

Demi also experimented with a few songs she ultimately felt were too mature lyrically or that she worried might be too pointed. "When I'm a little older, maybe my fans will be ready. But this album really expresses my writing and look right now. Fortunately, I haven't had to compromise in my career but you do learn more about yourself writing about your life and feelings. It's like a diary, and not everyone gets the opportunity to do something like this."

She also offers inspiring lyrics for her young listeners on the empowering and whisper-to-a-scream bounce of "Everything You're Not," singing, "I want a gentleman who treats me like a queen / I need respect, I need love, nothing in between." While there are songs about `lost love' on Here We Go Again, Demi says, "I think this new album is more hopeful than Don't Forget. This is like being excited about breaking up and making up."

KerenAnn何许人也？她是法国乐坛最受瞩目的民谣才女，她出生在以色列，从小学吉他时就开始扒Joni Mitchell的曲子，11岁举家迁往巴黎后竟然得到了JoniMitchell的赏识而结识了著名制作人Benjamin Biolay，后者的古典音乐背景为她的作品带来更丰富的编配层次。2000年KerenAnn的首张专辑《LaBiographie De Luka Philipsen》融入了俄国文学、犹太民谣和法国诗歌，并以Trip-Hop、民谣及法国流行乐的融合形式现身，一举在欧洲赢得巨大成功。一曲《Jardind’Hiver》更是惊动了80高龄的法国Bossa Nova鼻祖HenriSalvador，后者在自己的经典复出专辑《Chambre Avec Vue》中收录了包括《Jardind’Hiver》在内的5首由BenjaminBiolay和KerenAnn创作的曲子。


KerenAnn是个用法语歌唱生活的女孩，她的民谣实在“清新”，和古老的传说联系在一起，和远去的岁月里绵绵的小故事牵手，直接承载于简陋的乐器声中。然而，从第二张专辑《La Disparition》开始，KerenAnn在民谣中加入了更多爵士和布鲁斯的元素，据说是因为听了不少ChetBaker和TomWaits的原因。所以清新本身，也是很不同的，16岁，30岁，50岁，80岁，就各有不同的聆听质感，如果你是一个可爱的民谣音乐家，那就看你碰上什么了，总之，不论你怎么拨弄音符、也不论你如何制造声响，你总会营造出“清新”的。KerenAnn的首张英文专辑《Not Going Anywhere》就是这样，那和语言的变化无关，就好像瀑布会变成溪流或地下水，可水仍是水。民谣之路也是，似乎只有一条，从清新到清新。


《Not Going Anywhere》的吟唱更偏向于布鲁斯，也更低调。略带颓废的清淡语调一直贯穿于小夜曲一般的主题曲中，贯穿于《End Of May》梦幻般的和声中，也贯穿于惟一一首节奏强烈的《Sail or And Widow》之中。甚至连像圣诞童谣一样的《Right Now And Right Here》、唯美极致的香颂《By The Cathedral》和带有一丝拉丁吉他色彩的《Spanish Song Bird》，也无一不笼罩在一层感伤的淡淡雾气中。而早先的Trip-Hop节拍表象已然隐匿，转化成为Beth Gibbons似的内在阴郁。除了爵士和布鲁斯的元素，KerenAnn还从ChamberPop以及法国流行乐、Bossanova甚至古典音乐中汲取了更多营养，你能感受到JaneBirkin、Francoise Hardy轻柔细腻的法式流行情歌；JoniMitchell、SuzanneVega甜美的北美纽约民谣；Club8或者Belle&Sebastian简单清秀的原声器乐以及NickDrake式讨巧的忧伤。


有人说KerenAnn的东西适合作为全世界任何一家咖啡馆的背景音乐，显然这很合理，但如此华美却又极简矜持的作品更适合于私人聆听。KerenAnn美妙的轻声细语犹如易碎的水晶玻璃，又仿若湿润夏季里轻凉的山泉。她的纯洁是长刺前的玫瑰，无法在世间长久的生存。
