Jorane

Jorane的音樂生涯始于家鄉(xiāng)魁北克，因此以幾張法語專輯進(jìn)入歌壇，這樣說似乎也不貼切，因?yàn)樗母柙~幾乎全是沒有意義的音節(jié)。歌手以吉他或者鋼琴來自彈自唱早已司空見慣，在舞臺(tái)上一邊彈著大提琴一邊唱歌的似乎都是歌特?fù)u滾團(tuán)體。因此，來自加拿大魁北克的Jorane和她的音樂注定會(huì)給我們帶來與眾不同的聽覺感受。在美國(guó)北部推出Vent Fou這張專輯后，Jorane以極富電影畫面感的16mm再度入侵美國(guó)全境，顛覆了人們對(duì)流行音樂編曲的清規(guī)戒律：她摒棄了伴奏樂隊(duì)，僅僅憑借一把大提琴和鼓、鈸等打擊樂器，伴隨著純凈豐富卻無意義的吟唱（據(jù)說主要是英語，呵呵），顯示出Jorane駕馭音樂的超人天賦，在國(guó)際樂壇贏得巨大聲譽(yù)。（樂評(píng)人再次搬出Tori Amos和Enya與她做比較，有趣?。?br />by Chris True
Having made a name for herself by being one of the very few -- if not only -- pop cellists who sings while she bows, Jorane (born Johanne Pelletier in 1975) released her first album, Vent Fou, in 1999 and would eventually play stages all over the world. She followed up her debut in 2001 with 16mm, which led to a live recording of her performance at the Montreal Spectrum as part of the Montreal International Jazz Festival. In 2004, Jorane embarked on the two-part release Evapore and The You and the Now mini-albums, which allowed her to work with such talents as Daniel Lanois (whose guest vocals adorned Evapore) and Lisa Germano. For the next few years, Jorane spent her time taking her unique sound to stages in numerous countries, as well as winning a few awards and award nominations along the way. In 2007, she released the album Vers à Soi and the Internet-based Canvas or Canvass. A Juno Award nomination followed in 2008.
