专辑介绍

by Rick Anderson

Although Bebel Gilberto has been writing, performing, and recording since her childhood, this is only her second full-length solo album. The child of Brazilian legend João Gilberto and the celebrated singer Miucha, she comes by her musical talent honestly, but has honed and developed it carefully over the years, being careful not to overexpose herself or peak too early; as a result, she now emerges as a mature and fully developed singer despite her relative youth. Her eponymous sophomore effort is a delightfully warm and unaffected program of Brazilian pop, much (but not all) of it in a fairly traditional bossa nova style. There are electronic elements in the mix, but they are mostly kept in the background; instead of aggressive electronica or superimposed breakbeats, the instrumental accompaniment is mostly woven from organic percussion, acoustic guitars, bass, and piano. This all serves to keep one's attention where it belongs: on Gilberto's sweet, rich voice and her gorgeous melodies. Highlights include the lovely "Aganjú," the gently heartbroken "Every Day You've Been Away," and the lilting, almost funky "Cada Beiju." Very highly recommended.

"The Girl From Ipanema"(伊帕内玛姑娘)作曲家Joao Gilberto之女,巴西新生代女声Bebel Gilberto(贝波-吉儿伯托),评价极高的首张专辑《Tanto Tempo(漫漫岁月)》曾创下Billboard世界音乐榜连续七十周进榜纪录,带领Bossa Nova进入了二十一世纪,暌违四年,全球乐迷期待已久的第二张专辑终于发行!

"Baby" 翻唱巴西传奇音乐诗人Caetano Veloso的经典名曲,英文歌词由迷幻乐队Os Mutantes填写,仿佛告诉我们那令人朝思暮想的Bossa Nova宝贝回来了 。"Simplesmente"与阿根廷键盘手Didi Gutman合作,温柔而迷醉。"Aganju" 由Carlinhos Brown谱写,Miucha合音,我认为是专辑里最好的歌曲,融入巴西Bahia洲Salvador市的黑人节奏,根源于康董布雷(Candomble)的宗教祭典仪式,Bebel的歌声是向神灵Xango的绝美颂赞,将南美魅力释放得淋漓尽致,电音部分更有如专辑《Tanto Tempo》由Suba调制的水准。

"All Around" 由日籍吉他手清水刚治(Masaharu Shimizu)轻盈空灵的伴奏,是首悲伤的Bossa Nova。"River Song" 歌咏着里约热内卢的山峦、瀑布和河流。"Every Day You've Been Away" 是同属系出名门的Daniel Jobim与Pedro Baby Gomes写给Bebel的歌曲,延续着巴西音乐家族之间的跨世代友谊。"Cada Beijo" 以气音吟唱葡萄语更显得原汁原味。"O Caminho"里钢琴家Joao Donato的表现,有如Bill Evans酷派爵士的伴奏独唱。"Winter"的冷冽寒冬有着最炽烈的爱情。"Ceu Distante"是首耐人寻味的曲子,歌德曾说不必为了明了全世界的天空都一样而环游世界。而Bebel的感触却自有一番体悟,为什么天空会如此不同? 何处才是属于自己的天空? 这答案显然不会是局限于南美家乡的云彩了。"Jabuticaba"可以听到印度塔布拉手鼓(tabla) 、巴西手鼓(tamborim)和斑鸠琴(Indian banjo)的表现。"Next To You"是首动听的摇篮曲,美好梦境的怀想。

Bebel Gilberto说:‘新专辑反映了我这几年工作和旅行的思绪,渐渐地,我更知道如何成为一个歌手了,虽然唱起英语不像唱葡萄牙语那么得心应手,但这是一个新的Bebel,而且在四年前即已孕育成型。’同名专辑由Madonna与Bjork的制作人Marius de Vries操刀,在纽约、里约热内卢与巴西东北部巴依亚州(Bahia)音乐之都Salvador三地录音,广泛吸取了巴西传统音乐与现代编曲的元素,由原音乐器主导,降低之前的电子成分,后制精细,并邀请到伦敦交响乐团的弦乐配置,以钢琴,横笛衬托Bebel亲切私密的嗓音,慵懒酥软,迷人至极,在近年来Lounge风潮之中,无疑是度过炎炎夏日最好的音乐。
