Anna Nalick

Anna Nalick不錯(cuò)，不過(guò)美國(guó)真的不缺她這樣的類型。但是，就像他們鐘愛(ài)雞腿漢堡一樣，她會(huì)流行開(kāi)來(lái)。20歲的女生，雖然吃漢堡長(zhǎng)大讓她顯得過(guò)于成熟，但這確實(shí)是一個(gè)年輕的新人在發(fā)表第一張專輯。個(gè)人具備的創(chuàng)作和演唱才華，讓她獲得不少的稱贊，雖然不是一邊倒的驚嘆。在某些轉(zhuǎn)音和細(xì)微的鼻音處，她會(huì)貼近Alanis Morisette，什么都好，只是差了Alanis Morisette當(dāng)年首發(fā)專輯的那點(diǎn)藥力，那點(diǎn)沖勁，那點(diǎn)猛烈。但是這個(gè)加州女歌手的專輯，還是很值得去聽(tīng)一下，有著動(dòng)聽(tīng)的旋律，一點(diǎn)都不稚嫩的聲線，與那些音樂(lè)界動(dòng)不動(dòng)就深刻得讓人頭疼的思想家相比，我選擇這個(gè)———這種不求上進(jìn)的態(tài)度，有點(diǎn)像加菲。
兼收并蓄用多了，容易招致一些爭(zhēng)議。Anna Nalick的音樂(lè)對(duì)于偏好搖滾的耳朵，顯得柔和了一些；而對(duì)于流行的口味，又似乎吞咽起來(lái)讓他們的腮幫子有點(diǎn)吃力。如果你之前對(duì)Michelle Branch、Liz Phair還都相當(dāng)喜愛(ài)的話，她應(yīng)該是你要的。她聲音的溫度明顯比Sarah McLachlan高，而某些慢歌有相當(dāng)?shù)募兌葏s不像Norah Jones那么讓人納悶。
在Anna Nalick的專輯里不只講到情愛(ài)神傷，也會(huì)提示生活與信念?！禝nMyHead》描述了在白日夢(mèng)里尋求解脫的心情?！禕leed》則是專輯里相對(duì)增加搖滾力度的作品，AnnaNalick的聲音在放開(kāi)和收斂的時(shí)候差別不小，這部分因素將來(lái)可以把她引向兩個(gè)方向———要么就是像全世界的優(yōu)秀女歌手卻唯獨(dú)不像自己，要么就是找到真正應(yīng)該強(qiáng)化的部分，讓我們可以在第一時(shí)間辨認(rèn)出她的聲音和音樂(lè)。
《ConsiderThis》是專輯里的一首執(zhí)拗而有趣的搖滾歌曲，也屬于比較草根的作業(yè)，音樂(lè)是好聽(tīng)的。而整張專輯有一個(gè)比較尷尬的地方就是：聽(tīng)《Satellite》像聽(tīng)到Jewel；聽(tīng)《IntheRough》又像聽(tīng)到AndreaCorr；中板的《Citadel》似乎又有加拿大的搖滾女歌手FionaApple的痕跡。所以一定程度上，她給自己出了個(gè)難題，《WreckoftheDay》對(duì)于新人來(lái)講是足以獲得好評(píng)的一張作品，但是下一張如果沒(méi)有明顯地走出來(lái)的話，就會(huì)成為流行連鎖企業(yè)里看不出特色的一家普通加盟店。
