本名Michael Samuel Kiwanuka的麥可齊汪努卡,自幼受到吉他之神Jimi Hendrix、傳奇樂團The Band、民謠教父Bob Dylan、經典靈魂樂天王Otis Redding等人的影響,將靈魂、搖滾、民謠搖滾、節奏藍調等多元樂風全部融會貫通,並且放到了屬於自己的音樂中,呈現出獨一無二的風格。2012年,Michael Kiwanuka以首張專輯【Home Again重回家園】橫掃了德國(No.1)、比利時(No.2)、挪威(No.3)、法國(No.3)與英國(No.4)等歐陸各國的排行榜,同時也讓他因此登上了「BBC Sound of 2012」的寶座,並且成為了下一個世代的指標性人物,開拓出他音樂生涯的羅馬大道。不過,這些豐功偉業對於他來說只是音樂所帶來的附加價值,真正重要的是:持續創作與撰寫出獨一無二的音樂。為了能夠突破上一張專輯的框架,他嘗試了許多不同的新體驗:「透過新的方式與新的創作思維,讓我能在歌詞與旋律上進行更多冒險與探索,這增進了我作品的廣度和深度。」抱持著不斷突破的信念,Michael Kiwanuka以嶄新的方式進行著專輯的創作和譜曲寫詞,同時也與許多音樂前輩進行深度的交流,藉此吸取了豐富的音樂涵養;在經歷超過1300個日子之後,他的第二張個人專輯【Love & Hate愛恨糾纏】終於誕生了。

Macy Gray is set to release her sixth studio album ‘Covered’ on March 27th via 429 Records. The album features the R&B singer’s take on rock hits from bands such as bands as Radiohead, Metallica, and My Chemical Romance. “After my first record I wanted to do a covers album, but I guess covers albums have kind of a stigma, they’re not known to do very well and they’re designed for people when they’re not doing their own thing anymore,” Gray told RollingStone.com about the idea that didn’t fly with people around her until she suggested doing rock covers.

9.0 (32 个评分) Alabama Shakes 类型: 摇滚
发布日期 2015年4月17日 出版发行: Rough Trade Records
Alabama Shakes’ Sound & Color is the follow-up to the band's Gold-certified debut album, Boys & Girls, which earned the group three GRAMMY nominations, including a nod for Best New Artist. Sound & Color demonstrates the tremendous strides made by a group of musicians who had only been playing together for a few months when they recorded their first album. From the searing single "Don't Wanna Fight" to the garage-rock freak-out on “The Greatest” to the psychedelic space jam “Gemini,” Alabama Shakes build on the soulful blues-rock base and map a surprising, innovative new direction.
