How to dress well是芝加哥詞曲創作者Tom Krell隨機從書名中選出來做為其音樂創作的藝名～
2009年他沒有使用個人的名字或照片，單以這個名字發行了數張EP，很快的就受到許多樂評的讚揚～

Passenger原本由主創作及主唱Michael David Rosenberg與創作夥伴Andrew Phillips和貝斯手、鼓手及鍵盤手在2003年成團～
但是2009年樂團解散後，Michael決定延用原團名，這也就是我們後來所熟知的Passenger~

雖然晚了半年才發現～(也發現得太晚～XDDD)
但是無論如何終於讓我等到了啊！！！

 
從去年開始歐洲新銳DJ越來越多～
重點是這些DJ年齡都非常年輕～
難道我要開始算上一個世代的人了嗎？
雖然自己是覺得還沒有啦～
filous是來自奧地利維也納年僅18歲的音樂製作人～
去年六月的時候出了收錄6首歌的首張EP"Dawn"~
"How Hard I Try"是首張單曲與同樣來自維也納的歌手James Hersey合作～
記得聽到這首歌的時候先是被旋律及歌詞吸引～
James輕輕悠悠的唱出略帶憂鬱的歌詞～
但Tropical House的輕快節奏將整個歌曲變得不那麼的抑鬱～
反倒多了那麼一些笑看雲淡風輕的豁然～

Rudimental是少數在主流樂壇上發光的Drum & Bass(鼓打貝斯)團體～
首張專輯也得到英國最高音樂獎水星音樂獎的提名～
最早知道他們是他們與我很喜歡的兩個英國男歌手John Newman和Alex Clare合作的"Not giving in"收錄在他們的第一張專輯"Home"~

如Passenger - Let her go的開頭一般～
輕輕的鋼琴聲搭著底片滑過放影機的聲響勾勒出這首述說成長歌曲的輪廓～
歌詞簡單直述卻深刻的直切入每個人的心靈～
成長永遠不是一件容易的事～

 
Zara Larsson這位歌手最初從2008年的瑞典達人秀發跡～
她參加的時候年僅10歲就拿下了當季冠軍～
而她在2012至2014年間在瑞典發了三張EP～
在2014年十月發行集結三張EP的首張專輯"1"並且在瑞典當地銷售達到白金唱片～
2015年6月5日發行了"Lush Life"作為她第二張專輯的首支單曲～
這成為她第二支瑞典冠軍單曲且賣破4白金～(第一支冠軍單曲是首張EP的單曲"Uncover")
也幫她打開了歐洲的知名度～
同年7月22日發行了這首她與葛萊美提名英國男歌手MNEK合作的單曲"Never Forget You"～
這首歌開始的時候會讓你覺得應該會是首抒情的歌曲～
但是中段之後突然轉折加入的鼓點加深了歌曲的情緒且令人驚豔～
甫發行就獲得瑞典冠軍～英國No.5與澳洲單曲季軍的好成績～
而且在發行兩個星期後獲得白金唱片認證～
 

有接觸電子音樂的朋友一定對Andain非常熟悉~
尤其是他們紅遍各大舞池的成名曲"Beautiful Things"~
Andain是由Gabriel & Dresden電音雙人組中的Josh Gabriel及歌手兼詞曲創作者Mavie Marcos所組成的~
剛出道時還包括了吉他手David Penner~
但是在他們休息重組後就是以Josh和Mavie的兩人組方式重組~
這首歌是他們首張專輯的第一張單曲~
我當時聽到的時候整個就是愛得無法自拔~
拼命的repeat再repeat~
後來各個不同的混音版也各有不同的風味~

Andain - Promises

Woke up today in casts of blue
And helplessly pretending
We'll get better over time
Quit bars and chains, the road anew
I got away still under you

So please don't make more promises to me
And please don't take everything from me
And I will breathe in every word you mean
If you could please promise them to me

Oh oh oh

Fell on the way to getting through
Collect the days of bad things, so it's better all the time
I never notice shades and hues
Away and safe still under you

So please don't make more promises to me
And please don't take everything from me
And I will breathe in every word you mean
If you could please promise them to me

Oh oh oh

So please don't make more promises to me
And please don't take everything from me

And I will breathe in every word you mean
If you could please promise them to me

我一直很喜歡現代舞~
在這支MV出來之前Shakira就有一首單曲MV是以雙人現代舞的方式呈現~
相較於Shakira的內斂版本曾經是體操選手的Pink則是以比較狂放及激烈的方式~
但是我覺得有時這樣的表現方式更能夠表現出更真誠的情感~
Pink後來還把整個MV中的舞蹈原封不動的搬上2012年美國音樂獎舞台上現場演出~

P!nk - Try

Oh oh

Ever wonder about what he's doing?
How it all turned to lies?
Sometimes I think that it's better to never ask why

Where there is desire
There is gonna be a flame
Where there is a flame
Someone's bound to get burned
But just because it burns
Doesn't mean you're gonna die
You've gotta get up and try, and try, and try
Gotta get up and try, and try, and try
You gotta get up and try, and try, and try

Eh, eh, eh

Funny how the heart can be deceiving
More than just a couple times
Why do we fall in love so easy?
Even when it's not right

Where there is desire
There is gonna be a flame
Where there is a flame
Someone's bound to get burned
But just because it burns
Doesn't mean you're gonna die
You've gotta get up and try, and try, and try
Gotta get up and try, and try, and try
You gotta get up and try, and try, and try

Ever worry that it might be ruined
And does it make you wanna cry?
When you're out there doing what you're doing
Are you just getting by?
Tell me are you just getting by, by, by?

Where there is desire
There is gonna be a flame
Where there is a flame
Someone's bound to get burned
But just because it burns
Doesn't mean you're gonna die
You've gotta get up and try, and try, and try
Gotta get up and try, and try, and try
You gotta get up and try, and try, and try
Gotta get up and try, and try, and try
Gotta get up and try, and try, and try
You gotta get up and try, and try, and try
Gotta get up and try, and try, and try

You gotta get up and try, and try, and try
Gotta get up and try, and try, and try

音樂及舞蹈總是相輔相成的~
有時音樂帶給舞蹈不同的生命~
而有時舞蹈則是將音樂帶入了另一個不同的境界~
這首Gravity是她收錄在她在國際市場發行的首張專輯"Little Voice"中的第三也是最後一首單曲~
因為這首歌曲是專輯中的最後一首歌~
所以當時對我來說印象並沒有很深刻~
但是當我在看So you think you can dance的時候~
我很喜歡的編舞家Mia Michaels將這首曲中隱含的對於任何關係中迷戀成癮的成份拉出來成為她編舞的中心~
這個癮可以是對於人~對於愛甚或是對於毒品~
因此更賦予了這首歌更深的意涵而舞碼本身經由舞者的詮釋後那戲劇張力更是不言可諭~
下面第一個就是這首歌的正式MV~
第二個則是舞蹈的表演~
而最後一個則是她在現場演唱的實況~
而中間那段觀眾的大合唱更是看現場演唱會才能夠真正感受到的感動啊~

Sara Bareilles - Gravity

Something always brings me back to you.
It never takes too long.
No matter what I say or do I'll still feel you here 'til the moment I'm gone.

You hold me without touch.
You keep me without chains.
I never wanted anything so much than to drown in your love and not feel your reign.

Set me free, leave me be. I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity.
Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I'm supposed to be.
But you're on to me and all over me.

You loved me 'cause I'm fragile.
When I thought that I was strong.
But you touch me for a little while and all my fragile strength is gone.

Set me free, leave me be. I don't want to fall another moment into your gravity.
Here I am and I stand so tall, just the way I'm supposed to be.
But you're on to me and all over me.

I live here on my knees as I try to make you see that you're everything I think I need here on the ground.
But you're neither friend nor foe though I can't seem to let you go.
The one thing that I still know is that you're keeping me down.
You're keeping me down, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
You're on to me, on to me, and all over...
Something always brings me back to you.
It never takes too long.
