专辑介绍

(By 虾米)2004年,正在巡演之路的David Bowie因身体原因不得不取消演出,而在这之后,其就进入了“隐士”的行列。虽然这么多年鲜有露面,但是却有不断关于其健康的谣言,The Flaming lips去年发行了一支单曲叫做“Is David Bowie Dying?”。而现在,这位传奇变色龙带着这张阔别十年的作品回击了大家的猜测,也给了乐迷一个宽慰的答复。

专辑封面借用了他1977年的经典作品《Hero》,用白色方块遮住脸庞,看似简单,却和专辑的名称吻合的很贴切,不要再回忆过去了吧,我们要问自己《The Next Day》会发生什么。

他之所以不朽,是因为他给的梦是有机体,在你我身上衍生,而他是提供无限想像的太空母体。

1972,David Bowie制造出来的虚拟人物Ziggy Stardust,根本性改变了音乐统治的疆域,《大卫鲍伊与来自火星的人 The Rise And Fall Of Ziggy Stardust And The Spiders From Mars》以雌雄同体的太空摇滚乐手末日登陆地球,为孩童改造新世界,却又被其所杀,宛如宗教的诗篇,亦成为当时卫道者的在背芒刺,该张是摇滚史上最成功的专辑之一,解构了人体形貌,Bowie去芜存菁、极其俐落的狂暴美学,一刀划过人声杂沓,在伪善中给了人终极平静。

这只是刚开始,我们看到他非固定脉络地经营自己,从1969年的乡村摇滚、1971年《Hunky Dory》写下华丽摇滚的高标,之後自组多个乐团,创造多位虚拟人物、为经典小说《1984》启发创做另张经典《Diamond Dogs》,他在1977年为柏林冷战所谱之歌〈Heroes〉成为跨世代少年的麦田之歌,歌词谱写:「We Can Be Heroes Just For One Day」,呼应2013年先发单曲〈Where Are We Now?〉中唱道:「The Moment You Know, You Know, You Know」,把世界唱进老朽,他那锋利的口吻仍纯真如昔,这张不改他多变路数,蓝调、爵士与民谣、庞克齐发,铿锵有力的Vocal游走各曲风,〈Dirty Boys〉小喇叭幽魂醉步,电吉他如荒野飙客,空扫世间狼藉。Bowie的歌声仍充满攻击力,〈The Stars (Are Out Tonight)〉,如剥落世道金粉一样,钢弦吉他狂风劲道中,Bowie的歌词如斯唯美憔悴,一曲冥王为生者跳的晚安舞,欢庆人类从醉生到梦死。

〈Love Is Lost〉噪音乐句中唱着人们贪新浮夸,粗猛颗粒咳出岁月的尘灰,警世意味浓厚,〈Where Are We Now?〉苍白极简的乐句,生途悠悠,哪里不是客居?这哲学层次,又将他拉到巨人的视野。如今的他从心所欲,各器乐如借风使刃,〈You Feel So Lonely You Could Die〉壮盛合声揭开序幕,美梦与神经质相互依存,肥美四溢的幽暗。整张以疾风剑客精准的慢,刺向时代的快速水肿的样貌。

大师回朝,以当年目光炯炯,把今日死水唱出惊涛骇浪,他曾似妖成魔,对抗世界将人标签化的层层罗网,如今,他从时代影子里走出新生,在暗水里捞月,如在浅塘边呼唤座头鲸,他哪是魔王?他竟是希望。(资深乐评人 马欣 亲笔推荐)

Here's some tremendous news to wake up to: David Bowie is to release his first album in nearly a decade. The Next Day, his 30th studio recording, is out in March (8 in Australia, 11 in the rest of the world bar the U.S., where it's out on March 12), and is preceded by a single that you can hear right now! Check out the album's tracklist, and watch the video for "Where Are We Now?" below. (It's available to purchase on iTunes now too.) Bowie turns 66 years old today: Happy ruddy Birthday indeed.

The album was produced by Tony Visconti and written by Bowie in New York, according to his label, Columbia. The video for "Where Are We Now?" was directed by Tony Oursler, and reflects on Bowie's time spent in Berlin in the mid-late 1970s. His last LP, Reality, was released in 2003.

A spokesman for Columbia said: "Throwing shadows and avoiding the industry treadmill is very David Bowie despite his extraordinary track record that includes album sales in excess of 130m, not to mention his massive contributions in the area of art, fashion, style, sexual exploration, and social commentary."
