专辑介绍:
来自瑞典的女歌手Anna Ternheim在2006年发布的第二张专辑【Separation Road】,专辑限定版同日发送【Naked Versions II】。
Anna Ternheim的声音沉郁苍凉,给她的歌曲带来了厚实大气的感觉。
专辑收录了之前几张单曲【Girl Laying Down】【Today is a Good Day】【Lovers Dream】中的曲目,使得专辑更像是一种总结与鉴定。
不常听欧美音乐的我所谓的欧美音乐文件夹里只有Holly Throsby, Anna Ternheim, Sarah Blasko这三个人的歌曲。
每当深夜的时候,她们的歌曲就像微凉萦绕的月光,淡淡的释放出湿气,可以润泽早已干枯的心灵。
Naked Version版本的歌曲,更加简单的配器,着重突出了歌手声线的特点和歌曲的编曲特点,在Naked Version中的歌曲,有着其略显悲伤的一面,就像专辑封面所描述的一样,乌云,狂风,只有孤独的歌者,迎风飞舞的头发如同一面旗帜,飘向那风的方向。但是更多的确实一种潮湿的温暖,那心灵底层的温暖,如同蒸腾的露珠。
Anna Ternheim is a young Swedish songwriting talent who has met with sparkling success in continental Europe (especially in Germany and in her own country where she has won the Swedish Grammy), but is practically unknown across the shores in Great Britain. This is a great shame and hopefully it won't stay that way, since she is a tremendous find: a singer of pared-down acoustics and sensitive lyrics who can rock and pop. Her voice - which betrays a light Swedish accent - is best served (I find) on the quieter tracks, where a sense of fragility seeps through. Following her first album - "Somebody Outside" of 2004 - which was characterised by a brittle authenticity, this one is more poppy, theatrical and orchestral, accompanied by dramatic cover photography of Anna standing bowed before wind turbines and turbulent skies.
The album does seem to fly off in two directions: soaring, bombastic pop on the one hand ("Calling Love", "Feels like Sand" and "One to blame", which could almost serve as a James Bond theme tune) and the quiet acoustics and piano of "Tribute to Linn", "No Subtle Men" and "Such a Lonely Soul" on the other hand. These seem more deeply felt and are threaded with a greater perceptiveness. I've read in interviews that "Separation Road" was a reaction to the melodramatics of film noir and Nosferatu as well as a way of creating a more protective distance to her audience. Perhaps it was inevitable then that "Separation Road" resulted in a mixed bag and a more commercial sound. Lyrically, though, she's still a wonder: tales of suspecting infidelity ("she'll be watching you for sure / Afraid to find out what she already knows"), the unfulfilled promise of love ("how to get to fivepoints / how would I know / halfway with high hopes / of love"), a girl homebound by fearful apathy ("God knows I tried to leave her / `Cause she's got a constant fever") and a longing for partnership ("I've waited so long / Maybe my time has come").
If you are into lavish dramatics and heartfelt pop-based songwriting, try this (the limited edition of which contains eleven naked versions). If you like more delicate music that strums with a sensitive soul, you could start with "Somebody Outside" ("I'll follow you tonight" and "I say no" are gorgeous tracks).
