"IT'S NOT ME, IT'S YOU dials down the sass in favor of sincere self-reflection and a greater grasp of morning-after consequences."

Glam Nation Live is the first live album by American recording artist, Adam Lambert which was released on March 22, 2011 on DVD and CD formats. The concert was filmed at Clowes Hall in Indianapolis, Indiana during the North American leg of his Glam Nation Tour.

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。

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

Self-professed skate punk Avril Lavigne sings that she'd "rather be anything but ordinary" on her debut. While the fact that she had a record deal by the age of 16 separates her from the pack, too often Let Go's lyrical shortcomings drag the teenager's musically impressive recording entrée into the realm of the typical. The catchy choruses of Go are substantial, though, thanks to Lavigne's riff-driven melodies and powerful vocals, which at times adopt the unorthodox intonation quirks of fellow Canadian Alanis Morrissette. The nuanced, dynamic "Losing Grip," "My World" (which perfectly captures the ennui of suburbia), and the buoyant power-pop blast "Sk8er Boi" are the collection's highlights. But Lavigne's honest yet awkward words weigh down the likes of "Mobile," "I'm with You," and "Naked." "Nobody's Fool," which displays her Pink-like take-me-as-I-am credo, hints that someday Lavigne's lyrics will match the strength of her music. --Annie Zaleski

"Video Games" is the debut single by American singer Lana Del Rey, released on October 10, 2011 by Interscope Records in the US, and Stranger Records in the UK. It was named "Best New Track" by Pitchfork on August 3 after the release of an online video on July 1.

Born to Die is the second studio album and major-label debut by American singer and songwriter Lana Del Rey. It was released on January 27, 2012 by Interscope Records, Polydor Records, and Stranger Records. Del Rey collaborated with producers including Patrik Berger, Jeff Bhasker, Chris Braide, Emile Haynie, Justin Parker, Rick Nowels, Robopop, and Al Shux to achieve her desired sound. Their efforts resulted in a primarily baroque pop record, which sees additional influences from alternative hip hop, indie pop and trip hop music.
Contemporary music critics gave Born to Die mixed reviews; some commended its distinctive production, while its repetitiveness and melodramatic tendencies were a recurring complaint. The record debuted at number two on the U.S. Billboard 200 with first-week sales of 77,000 copies; it was later certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) after moving one million units. Born to Die reached the peak position on eleven international record charts, and has sold 8.5 million copies worldwide as of May 2015.
After attaining online success after its initial premiere on June 29, 2011, "Video Games" was released as the lead single from Born to Die on October 17, 2011; it peaked at number 91 on the U.S. Billboard Hot 100. Its follow-up singles "Born to Die", "Off to the Races", "Blue Jeans", "Summertime Sadness", "National Anthem", and "Dark Paradise" performed sporadically across Billboard component charts and international record charts. The Cedric Gervais remix of "Summertime Sadness" was released on July 11, 2013, and became Del Rey's highest-charting single in the United States, reaching number six on the Billboard Hot 100. Del Rey additionally promoted Born to Die with several televised performances, including a widely criticized appearance on Saturday Night Live. It was reissued on November 9, 2012 as an expanded version subtitled The Paradise Edition, which was packaged with her third extended play Paradise (2012).

Vocalist Lana Del Rey makes atmospheric, orchestral, retro-'60s-sounding pop that showcases her torchy image and sensuously husky singing style. A native of Lake Placid, New York, Del Rey released the single "Kill Kill" under her given name, Lizzy Grant, in 2009 before remaking herself into the pop femme fatale character Lana Del Rey. A video for the single "Video Games" appeared online in August of 2011 and drew considerable buzz, as did a "secret show" she performed at Brooklyn's Grasslands Gallery...

Better Than I Know Myself 是歌手Adam Lambert（亚当兰伯特）于2011年12月20日发行的数字单曲。此曲为其个人第二张录音室专辑《Trespassing（暂译名：非法入侵）》的首张单曲。也是个人通算第十张单曲。
本曲由Dr. Luke，Claude Kelly，Ammo，Cirkut以及Adam Lambert共同创作完成。其中Dr. Luke同Adam有过合作，单曲《For Your Entertainment （头条娱乐）》则是Dr.Luke参与制作的单曲。Dr. Luke更是和Katy Perry有着密切合作，提供了多首金曲。Claude Kelly是业界的金牌制作人，曾参与Bruno Mars 金曲"Generade"的创作。此次Claude的加入，也引起了广泛关注与相当大的话题性。

格莱美奖提名者，美国偶像亚当兰伯特（Adam Lambert）睽违三年的第二张录音室专辑Trespassing与2012年5月15日在美国发行（全球多国同步发行）。力求完美的Adam亲自投身参与到本专辑的创作当中，彻彻底底袒露心扉，更与多路音乐奇才合作：与A咖制作人Dr.Luke再次携手，创出首张单曲Better Than I Know Myself；第二单曲Never Close Our Eyes全方位展现Adam惊人演唱实力，更有美国当红音乐人Bruno Mars前来助阵。更令人期待的同名曲Trespassing由嘻哈鬼才Pharrell Williams与Adam共同操刀，节奏十足，气势如虹！然而精彩远未停止，今次Adam着力表现自己的双面性，更不乏抒发感伤情怀的抒情曲Underneath，Outlaws of Love等。
本专辑受到美国音乐权威杂志滚石（Rolling Stone）四星的绝赞肯定！

2007 年，孙燕姿加盟新东家百代唱片后，推出了第 10 张个人专辑《逆光》，由李偲菘与李伟菘这对黄金搭档操刀，孙燕姿本人也参与制作，在音乐上既有对以往风格的延续，又不乏令人眼前一亮的新鲜元素。专辑同名主打歌《逆光》与另一抒情主打《我怀念的》皆以钢琴和弦乐衬托出燕姿刚柔并济的唱腔，是她一直以来最游刃有余的风格。此外，在《梦游》中加入古典室内乐的元素，在《爱情的花样》中挑战略带狂野气质的摇滚，而在《咕叽咕叽》中又添上一段俏皮的英文说唱，这都让人们看到了燕姿在音乐上的大胆尝试。

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。

Lana Del Rey has shared more details about her new record, Ultraviolence.

继《Live For Today》唱片后阔别乐坛两年，陈奕迅2005年加盟新艺宝后，全力再战香港乐坛！继3月复出乐坛的首场音乐会《新城唱好陈奕迅05'出击音乐会》，并于5月初特别举行大型音乐会“NCMLive 向 Eason 狂呼”，为新碟造势，Eason 在音乐会上大唱新歌11首，现场招待2,500名歌迷，整个制作费过百万元，而是次音乐会“NCMLive 向 Eason 狂呼”将转录成 DVD 随新碟《U-87》附送，回馈多年来乐迷等待他复出多时的支持。
全新主打歌“夕阳无限好”，则由 Eric Kwok 创作，歌词讲述 Eason 当了父亲及转会后的心境及想法，其中他觉得夕阳黄昏才是新一天的序幕，人要向前望，才有更多更想做的事情，因此凡事亦会看得长远些。另一首新歌“不良嗜好”讲食烟问题，他觉得女人不钟意男人食烟是理所当然，出发点都是为男人着想。而黄伟文以 Eason 的写照填了“浮夸”一词，另一首“大个女”则是送给自己的女儿康堤。碟内亦收录了两首国语新歌“新美人主义”及“遇见了你”。

欣赏JAY复古新造型：
更有深度�周杰伦《叶惠美》
近日转会加盟新公司的周杰伦，同时推出了其年度国语专辑《叶惠美》，收录11首个人独唱歌曲。虽然新碟的惊喜不大，但仍保持着阿Jay一贯的个人风格(其实这正是乐迷最喜欢的)，而且多首歌曲亦较以往更有深度，故此并不算「原地踏步」。再者，当中某几首歌曲，更是惹人钟爱之作，相信这专辑依然会得到不少乐迷支持。
「以父之名」故事性强，歌词用了很多不同的景物去呈现歌中「教父」那懊恼与痛苦的心境，令听者能有更立体更实在的感受。此歌的编曲方面亦富歌剧味道，与歌曲的整体感觉与主题配合。
近期经常在电视上听到的广告歌「你听得到」，是首较大路的作品，旋律流畅动听，歌词则温馨但不特别。曲词动人的「爱的悬崖」运用了大量的弦乐，阿Jay的诠释富感情，能表达出歌中的无奈与伤感。作词人徐若�近年填的词都讨好，言简意远，可惜题材不广，未能在词坛创作更大成就。
「三年二班」写出许多朋友在年青时的疑问与心声，整首歌让人有一种说不出的感受，勾起了听者许多许多的回忆。仿古的「东风破」不仅曲子有味道，方文山写的歌词更精彩，非但用字优美，一向注重韵脚的他，填得很有韵味。
揉合了中乐、少数民族音乐及西方乐器的「梯田」，唱出「物换星移，故地不再」的唏嘘，不过头几句揶揄方文山写词慢的几句，真的十分搞笑。「双刀」是阿Jay专辑必备之作，正如前作「双截棍」及「龙拳」般，总觉得阿Jay中李小龙毒太深，此歌的吸引力只属一般。
其它歌曲方面，情歌「晴天」、写一见如故的「同一种调调」及摇滚味重的「懦夫」亦不容错过。
谁是「叶惠美」�
周杰伦 (Jay) 每次出碟，除了在音乐上带给大家惊奇外，就连专辑名称都会让人有无限的想象空间，如之前《范特西》、《八度空间》。这次Jay的新专辑，光看专辑名称「叶惠美」就够吸引了，但也让歌迷在心中打了一个大问号，究竟「叶惠美」是何许人也？可以让Jay用他的名字作为专辑名称？原来在他的新专辑中第一波强打主打歌为「以父之名」，为了以示公平，想象力丰富的Jay灵机一动，就用母亲的名字「叶惠美」作为专辑名称来平衡一下，因此专辑名称「叶惠美」原由在此。

《黑色柳丁》展现了一个极丰富的音乐空间，现代摇滚、强节奏爵士、电子摇滚、乡村摇滚、蓝调、R&B、RAP风格都有，多元的音乐与娃娃时而戏谑、颓废，时而温馨、浪漫的填词起到了火花四溅的“化学反应”，使人眼前一亮：“黑色柳丁”透过摇滚乐的沉重力量，诠释失去爱的沧凉悲喷，轻灵的电子前奏、忽然爆发的硬朗摇滚，让人始料不及，又惊又喜。陶�招牌式的R&B风格“Dear God”，巧妙安排在一连串叫人心慌摇头的新闻片段后，唱出人类渺小无力的�喊，渴望真爱重现人世……这次为大家带来的是惊喜特价版本，完整收录了专辑中的所有歌曲，好歌特价，精彩不变
