清新的吉他,优美的钢琴,婉转柔和的声线,这个来自西雅图的美丽女人给民谣界带来了不同以往的声音。Rosie Thomas很早就确立了她精致的特点鲜明的曲风,但直到她加入Velour 100乐队之后才得以成名,Rosie Thomas在这支以Dream-Pop为主的乐队担任主唱,随后她退出乐队,开始了自己的民谣生涯。2002年的那张《When We Were Small》好评如潮,使人们一下便记住了这个声音甜美的女孩,她的歌声中总是隐隐透着些沧桑感,尽管曲风清新但却有股成熟女人的韵味在里面,真假声的变换频繁却又不让人觉得腻,反而成为她最具标志性的嗓音特点。第一次听她的歌是03年的那张《Only With Laughter Can You Win》,淡紫色的专辑封面一下子吸引了我,随之而来的还有,从此我就把紫色和这个女人不可分割的联系在了一起,当我回过头去听《When We Were Small》时,我则彻底被打动了,一直到05年的《If Songs Could Be Held》,Rosie Thomas的每张专辑封面都是水彩画或是油画,清新可爱。而当我沉浸在Rosie Thomas的声音中时,周围的一切浮躁和喧嚣,仿佛都被同化成静默了。(以上转自“就是音乐”)
On her third Sub Pop full-length, this Seattle songwriter/vocalist approaches the sometimes difficult but universal topics of introspection, identity, and love with bravery, honesty, and above all, stunning beauty. "If Songs..." marks the first time she's collaborated with musicians outside her circle of family and friends, this time working with Liz Phair guitarist Dino Meneghin, accomplished film soundtrack string arranger Josh Myers, and a duet with Ed Harcourt on the classic "Let It Be Me".
