★水星音乐奖得主暌违五年第三张专辑
★荒芜中执拗燃烧的浪漫
★都会喧嚣间最亲密的孤寂
来自伦敦的青年乐队The xx，2009年首张专辑《xx》以初生之犊的姿态，拿下欧洲指标性水星音乐奖，随后几年间，他们纵横各大音乐祭与颁奖典礼，第二张专辑《Coexist》挤下The Script、Bob Dylan、Pet Shop Boys空降英国流行专辑榜冠军，此等天之骄子般的惊人声势，以及身处譁众取宠的当代音乐潮流中，The xx徘徊午夜的极间低迴旋律铺陈起的黑灰色阶，似乎显得格格不入，然而吸纳著Siouxsie and the Banshees、The Cure、New Order、Cocteau Twins以至Aaliyah音乐养分而来的浪漫声响，却敲醒了层层冰雪底层的炙热，写尽了这时代人们藏得最深的孤寂。
2014年乐队灵魂人物Jamie xx首张创作专辑《In Colour》，在The xx失去时空标记的未来场域，投入大量多元声响取洋的缤纷色泽，让人预见了The xx的可能性，亦塑造出暌违五年新专辑《I See You》首支单曲〈On Hold〉的蜕变，与Hall & Oates 1981年冠军曲〈I Can’t Go For That〉交会之际一脚踩进舞池，让好似被时间消磨了的遗憾，不再那麽难以承受，冬阳洒落的和煦蔓延至〈I Dare You〉与〈Say Something Loving〉，依旧浪漫得执拗。
开场曲〈Dangerous〉强悍bassline与管乐驱策下，扬起了The xx至今最果抉、激昂的一回；〈Lips〉取洋自葛莱美提名挪威人声乐队Trio Mediæval的脱俗吟唱乘著Tribal Beat悠缓跃动的宜人风景，以及〈Performance〉凄薄弦乐于一片荒芜中拉扯出的张力，格外令人惊豔；即便〈A Violent Noise〉和〈Brave For You〉回到那个被喧嚣遗忘的街角，遇到我们熟悉的The xx，冰冷得暴戾的梦，也相对辽阔轻盈，美得令人屏息。
末曲〈Test Me〉绝望的最后恳求，在一片极间冰凝的苍白电气中持续坠落，一段Alessi Brothers〈Do You Feel It?〉的琴音乍现，对映著取洋了同一首歌的〈Say Something Loving〉，麻木了心，模糊了时空，即使在阳光洒落的地方，The xx依旧以近乎任性的执著，耽溺于怀疑与悔恨的结，最亲密的疏离，最炙热的冷冽，让人倚著冰牆试图取暖，距离心一步的位置，目光犹疑试探，却怎麽也踩不进去的怅然。

解密兄弟 是由蓋伊和霍華德·勞倫斯兩兄弟組成的英格蘭電子音樂雙人組。他們成長於薩里郡賴蓋特。首張專輯《沈澱》於2013年6月3日由PMR唱片發行，並且在第56屆葛萊美獎獲提名為最佳電子/舞曲專輯

占据滚石杂志『2000年代最佳乐团』第4席的Coldplay，先前所发行的6张专辑全数拿下全英金榜冠军，共缔造全球超过1亿张的唱片销售量，抱走多达7座葛莱美+8座全英音乐+5座MTV音乐+4座告示牌+3座世界音乐奖…等全球无数奖项，不仅承袭Britpop风格、延续Oasis、Blur、Suede等指标乐团所打下的美好九零英摇荣景，更缔造出专属Coldplay的音乐新纪元！他们从奠下基础的三部曲专辑“Parachutes”、“A Rush Of Blood To The Head”、“X&Y”，到一再立下新里程碑的“Viva La Vida Or Death And All His Friends”、“Mylo Xyloto”，再到稍微与以往风格不同、满溢心碎自我疗愈的2014年专辑“Ghost Stories”，都一再的惊艳全球歌迷！
每次推出新作即会启动世界巡迴演唱的Coldplay，在“Ghost Stories”发行后反而选择放下专辑巡演，立刻重回录音室进行此第7张录音室专辑“A Head Full Of Dreams”的录制。新专辑发行的消息当然是令所有乐迷引颈期盼多时，但Coldplay始终保持低调，直到2015年10月才开始陆续抛出些许线索，先是在伦敦地下铁出现印有与主唱Chris Martin某件T-shirt样式一样的神秘海报，而Coldplay也陆续在Twitter发佈类似设计的动画让全球乐迷密切关注！以往在专辑封面与内页设计就会下足功夫与巧思的Coldplay，这次邀请阿根廷籍超现实主义视觉设计师Pilar Zeta与Coldplay共同合作，以宇宙一切根源的生命之花图形作為专辑中心思想，传递极富禅思的宇宙世界观。此次Coldplay横跨英美两地进行录制，请来格莱美奖挪威超级製作组合Stargate，与从“Viva La Vida or Death And All His Friends”专辑后就与Coldplay长期合作的御用製作人Rik Simpson联手打造，另外邀请3座葛莱美奖王牌混音师Phil Tan、本名为Tim Bergling的瑞典超级DJ Avicii，一同在Coldplay新作中客座担任歌曲后制混音！专辑中的另外一大亮点则是豪华的跨刀合作阵容，包括：「玩美女神」碧昴丝Beyoncé、「前绿洲合唱团灵魂人物」诺尔盖勒赫Noel Gallagher、「瑞典神奇女王」托芙萝Tove Lo、「70年代Soul Rock女伶」玛莉克蕾顿Merry Clayton，另外更特别邀请Chris Martin前妻，演而优则唱的奥斯卡影后-葛妮丝派特罗Gwyneth Paltrow与现任影星女友安娜贝尔瓦莉丝Annabelle Wallis分别献唱！
预购即拿下全球53国iTunes专辑榜冠军，彷彿为“Mylo Xyloto”二部曲的新专辑，充满著无限能量、大量的缤纷色彩以及积极的生活态度。荣登全球45国iTunes榜冠亚军、爽朗而热情的首波公开单曲「Adventure Of A Lifetime」，赞扬生命中不可预期的人事物都是一种新鲜的冒险，呼吁人们拥抱并珍惜人生所有，是首抱持积极正面态度的作品；专辑开场曲、媲美「Every Teardrop Is A Waterfall」的专辑同名歌曲「A Head Full Of Dreams」，偌大的旋律格局、律动十足的舞动节拍，正是人因梦想而伟大的最佳主题曲；继与Rihanna合作后，这次邀来R&B天后「玩美女神」碧昴丝Beyoncé在冲劲十足的「Hymn For The Weekend」一曲中献唱，在缤纷的摇滚画布中增色R&B曲风元素的美丽佳作；「Everglow」则是有Chris Martin前妻葛妮丝派特罗Gwyneth Paltrow献声的话题歌曲，虽然两人婚姻已画下句点，但两人曾经拥有的特别情谊也在这首浪漫的歌曲中留下足跡；插曲「Kaleidoscope」则是来自13世纪伊斯兰苏菲派重要诗人鲁米Rumi的「The Guest House」部分诗作，使用鲁米在西方国家的主要诠释者-美国诗人Coleman Barks的有声朗诵版，再搭配乔治亚天才古典钢琴家卡蒂雅(Khatia Buniatishvili)的演奏，并在尾段巧妙置入一小段美国总统欧巴马在教堂所演唱的「Amazing Grace」。Chris Martin约莫在三、四年前接触到这首诗，寓意为人们所产生的各种情绪其实都是天上给予的恩赐，即使当下感受不到但回首过往时的确让他有很大的回响与冲击，因此他改变了看待这个世界的角度与方式，也希望将这样的感悟传递给所有人，如此一来便催生了这首与专辑中心思想不谋而合、合情合理并极富禅意的插曲；虽然安排在专辑曲序最后但举足轻重的「Up&Up」，再度邀请「玩美女神」碧昴丝Beyoncé、「70年代Soul Rock女伶」玛莉克蕾顿Merry Clayton、Chris Martin现任影星女友－安娜贝尔瓦莉丝Annabelle Wallis开口献唱，更邀请「前绿洲合唱团灵魂人物」诺尔盖勒赫Noel Gallagher弹奏歌曲最高潮、引人入胜的精彩吉他Solo，可谓是众星共同献技合唱、为生命所绽放的无限精彩齐声喝采的旷世之作！
Coldplay从“Ghost Stories”的自我沉淀省视后，让灵魂再度蜕变，為生命灌注丰沛的动力，幻化出七彩的美妙光芒，以音乐歌颂生命、赞美人生，愿与宇宙共鸣再回馈给这个世界，反射给每个聆听他们音乐的人，让每个灵魂从中再次得到勇气与活力。“A Head Full Of Dreams”专辑名称其实早在几年前就已经决定，却迟迟未找到契机创作，一直到现在终于催生，Chris Martin将此辑比喻为「哈利波特最终章」，也许意指著可能是Coldplay的最后作品，对此Chris Martin持保留态度，表示他们得要将这张专辑如此定位才能毫不保留地将最好的他们投注其中，因此“A Head Full Of Dreams”也是Coldplay有史以来最乐在其中、最自豪的一张作品！

How Big, How Blue, How Beautiful’ is the brand new album from Brit and Grammy Award winning multi-platinum selling musical artist Flore nce + The Machine. , a collection of songs, written and recorded over the past 12 months. Produced by Markus Dravs (Björk, Arcade Fire, Coldplay) the third album by Florence & The Machine is live-sounding, tune-rich, unhinged in all the right places and powerful in all the best ways. In voice and, ultimately, outlook Florence has never sounded better.
In a press release, Florence said:
I guess although I’ve always dealt in fantasy and metaphor when I came to writing, that meant the songs this time were dealing much more in reality. Ceremonials was so fixated on death and water, and the idea of escape or transcendence through death, but the new album became about trying to learn how live, and how to love in the world rather than trying to escape from it. Which is frightening because I’m not hiding behind anything but it felt like something I had to do.

Samuel Frederick Smith is an English singer and songwriter. They rose to prominence in October 2012 after being featured on Disclosure's breakthrough single "Latch", which peaked at number eleven on the UK Singles Chart.

"Hello" is the upcoming lead single from Adele's third studio album, 25 (2015) and will be released on 23 October 2015. The music video will debut on Vevo Friday 23 October.
On 18 October, a 30-second clip of "Hello" was shown on UK television during a commercial break on The X Factor. The commercial teases what was then new, announced material from the singer, with viewers hearing a voice singing accompanied by lyrics on a black screen. Three days later, BBC Radio 1 Breakfast Show presenter Nick Grimshaw hinted that Adele's first single release from the album would be premiered on the programme on 30 October. However, on 22 October, Adele confirmed in the statement announcing details of 25's release that "Hello" would be released on 23 October as the lead single for the album.
The music video for the song, filmed in Montreal and directed by Canadian voice actor and director Xavier Dolan, will be released on 23 October 2015.

Caracal is the upcoming second studio album by English DJ duo Disclosure. It is set to be released on 25 September 2015 by PMR and Island. Three official singles have been released from the album: "Holding On" featuring Gregory Porter, "Omen" featuring Sam Smith, and "Jaded", with four promotional singles also being released: "Bang That", "Willing and Able" featuring Kwabs and "Hourglass" featuring Lion Babe and "Magnets" featuring Lorde.

Blur have announced that they will release 'The Magic Whip', their first album in 12 years, on April 27.
The band – Damon Albarn, Graham Coxon, Alex James and Dave Rowntree – made the announcement at press conference hosted by outgoing BBC Radio 1 presenter Zane Lowe at Chinese restaurant The Golden Phoenix in London's West End, which is ongoing at present.
The album's producer, Stephen Street, also attended.
Blur recorded an album's worth of material in five days in Hong Kong in May 2013.
However, in an interview published by NME in July 2014, Damon Albarn said that because he likes to work in shorter, more concentrated periods of time he feared that he would never return to the tracks the band made while in Asia.
"There are about 15 songs we recorded in Hong Kong," he said at the time. "The annoying thing is, if I'd been able to write the lyrics there and then about being there, we'd have finished the record. But sometimes, if you can't do it all at once, it dissipates really and I don't know what I'd sing about now with that record. There's some great tunes on there, but it may just be one of those records that never comes out."

Based in Bristol (UK), Ryan Teague is a composer, producer and multi-instrumentalist working in the field of electro-acoustic minimalism. His music combines contemporary arrangements and instrumentation with electronics and processing. He also produces music and sound design for film and TV.

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。

Sam Smith, the voice behind Disclosure’s ‘Latch’ and Disclosure-Nile Rodgers-Jimmy Napes collaboration ‘Together’, will release In The Lonely Hour on May 26 via Capitol Records.
