【推荐】十年前的R&B -- Dru Hill (外一篇:荷兰摇滚乐队 -- Kane)
Dru Hill ,在1天以前,我从未听说过这个名字,
1天以后,我已经深深沦陷在他们的音乐当中.
昨天去买打口淘到的一张他们1996年出道时的第一张专辑"Dru Hill"
当时不敢确定到底是说唱还是R&B,结果翻到CD的背面竟然用柳体赫然印着"廿一世紀的節奏與憂鬱曲調"
(在打口上看到中文还真亲切 )
虽然翻译的有点拗口,不过既然自己都自卖自夸是21世纪的R&B了,又看是著名黑音厂牌Island出品,
加上我通吃一切R&B的"陋习",当然毫不犹豫地收入囊中,
回到寝室一放,我不得不惊叹他们对音乐对R&B走向捕捉的敏锐性,
虽然在唱法,配器和编曲上偏Old School一点,
不过曲调方面来说,他们自夸的"廿一世紀的節奏與憂鬱曲調"在我看来,
一点都不未过,虽然这张专辑发行距今已经有10年了.
可是,这张专辑真的是每首歌都相当让人佩服他们的功力,每首歌都是那么棒!
我无法相信这张10年前的作品居然如此出色,
现在"琳琅满目"的R&B歌手或许该向他们的前辈多学习学习.
这张专辑当中还有2首歌是R&B老牌人物:Keith Sweat 所制作的,
可见在出道时这4个人的确野心十足,
可惜好景不长,2002年这支组合就宣告解散.
历史上只发行了三张专辑,而2005年唱片公司发行了一张Hits专辑,
第一张专辑: Dru Hill

Whatever U Want 试听
引用:Lyrics:
Whatever you want
Whatever you need
Anytime you want it
Girl just get up on it
Ooh, girl you're so fine
Can I get a minute of your time?
I wanna get to know ya
Maybe later on up in my crib
I'll get to show ya
You're blowin' my mind
You're one of a kind
Heard you like to get your freak on
Let's get it on
Whatever you want
Whatever you need
Anytime you want it
Girl just get up on it
Girl, you're so unique
From your head to your feet
Know you've got me open
And it ain't my sack of smokes
That got me chokin'
You got me on a high
Oh girl I can't deny
That you keep me satisfied
Roll with me tonight
Tonight I will do
I will keep you satisfied
I will do just what you like
(Tonight if you want me to)
Anything you want me to
That is what I'm gonna do
Ooh, Aah, Ooh, Aah, Ooh
Give a little time
And I'm a tell you what to do
Come and step up like a champ and I'm a
See you fu**er check for ya
Looking like a winner for my dinner
I don't even know ya
But I'm a give you the eyes
And get the numerics lyrically
You're gifted with the gab
Intending to pursue it
Like to get the freak on
Like the song
But we got to get familiar
Only then we'll get it on
Whatever you want
Whatever you need
Anytime you want it
Girl just get up on it

这是关于这张专辑的一段英文介绍,谁有闲心就看看吧
Dru Hill was one of the most significant crossover phenomena in hip-hop history. Not only one of the era's most popular vocal groups, Dru Hill was one of the very few that successfully mixed the silky smooth with the street smart. Now fans can return to back in the day with the group's first "best of" collection and first homevideo, "Hits" and the DVD "Hits -- The Videos, " each released by Island Def Jam/UMe on October 11, 2005.
Hits brings together 12 Dru Hill classics culled from the group's three albums plus a pair of soundtrack contributions along with three bonus tracks: the previously unreleased So So Def Remix of "In My Bed" featuring Jermaine Dupri and Da Brat, and Sisqo's solo smashes "Thong Song" and "Incomplete."
High school classmates Jazz, Sisqo, Nokio and Woody formed Dru Hill, named after their Baltimore hood Druid Hill Park, in 1995 and debuted the following year with a self-titled album. The Dru was a sensation right out of the box. Hits includes the platinum album's gold #5 R&B/Top 20 Pop "Tell Me, " platinum #1 R&B/#4 Pop "In My Bed" and gold #1 R&B/#7 Pop "Never Make A Promise" as well as #7 R&B "5 Steps."
Before its next album, the Dru was heard on the soundtrack to "Def Jam's How To Be A Player" with "Big Bad Mamma, " a #10 R&B hit from Foxy Brown featuring Dru Hill, and the soundtrack to "Soul Food" with the Babyface-penned "We're Not Making Love No More, " a #2 R&B/Top 15 Pop hit that also went gold. 1998's Enter The Dru boasted yet another gold hit with the #1 R&B/#3 Pop "How Deep Is Your Love" featuring Redman. Also contributing to Hits is the double platinum disc's "These Are The Times" (#5 R&B/Top 30 Pop), two R&B Top 30s in "Beauty" and "You Are Everything, " and "The Love We Had (Stays On My Mind)."
Sisqo then launched his solo career with the Y2K-issued "Thong Song" (#2 R&B/#3 Pop) and platinum "Incomplete" (#1 R&B/#1 Pop). When the Dru returned in 2002 with "Dru World Order, " Sisqo was back in the fold, which had grown into a quintet with the addition of Scola. The gold album scored hits with the #6 R&B/Top 30 Pop "I Should Be..." and Top 30 R&B "I Love You." Hits also includes fan favorite "No Doubt (Work It)."
"Hits -- The Videos" offers the clips for "Tell Me, " "In My Bed, " "Never Make A Promise, " "5 Steps, " "These Are The Times, " "You Are Everything" (in a remix featuring Ja Rule), "I Should Be..., " "I Love You" and Sisqo's "Thong Song" and "Incomplete." Two bonuses are the So So Def Remix of "In My Bed" and a remix of "Thong Song" featuring Foxy Brown. Each video has been digitally remastered in 5.1 Surround Sound and stereo.

===============外一篇分割线===================
荷兰摇滚乐队: Kane
老实讲,我一直都对摇滚很敏感,我是那种除了老陶的摇滚其他摇滚都无视的... = =
因为我确实不太喜欢这样的音乐形式...
就算十分流行的LP SP等等,我也只是稍微听下而已,
可是直到我听到一个声音,来自荷兰的一支乐队--Kane的一首歌
也是他们最成功的作品之一: Rain Down On Me
我彻底疯狂了.他们的作品不是那么歇斯底里,应该算比较中规中距的吧
其他作品如: So Glad You Made It , Free , My Best Wasn't Good Enough 都相当棒,
希望大家听听他们的作品.
Rain Down On Me 试听
引用:Lyrics
I've been running through this town,
I've been combing every street.
I've been searching for the reason within reasons,
Been searching for the higher ground in me.
And I've been trying to surrender,
To trust in every word.
All my days of misery,
Someone could have taken them from me.
I've been searching for myself,
For oh so many times.
I've been searching for the answer within answers,
But no one seems to know what's on my mind.
Craving for her love,
Aching for her touch,
All my days of misery, someone could have taken them from me.
So tell me where you are,
Tell me how you feel.
Tell me what you need,
Just tell me how you feel.
And let it all just rain on me,
Let it all just rain on me,
Let it all just rain on me....
Rain down on me.
If only for a day,
Oh if only for one night,
I could tell you this is everything that i have ever lived for,
But I'd be giving it all away.
So look into these eyes,
And tell me how you feel.
All my days of misery, someone could have taken them from me.
So tell me where you are,
Tell me how you feel.
Tell me what you need,
Just tell me how you feel.
And let it all just rain on me,
Let it all just rain on me,
Let it all just rain on me...
Rain down on me.
