小简介
1963年8月29日出生于苏格兰的Grangemouth。在1981年,她17岁,有一天她在一家俱乐部跳舞时被Robin和Will相中,邀请她加入他们的乐队——Cocteau Twins。她是主唱(当然CT只有一个主唱)和作词者。“另类乐界最美丽的声音”、“独立音乐第一女声”、“仙音教母”等等是我们赋与她的美称。十来年的歌唱生涯,她以天籁般变幻莫测的真假二声声线、独特的气质、激情与心灵与技巧的完美结合,成为世界各地乐迷心中的女神。
早期她的歌词几乎全是毫无意义的单词拼凑或自创的无字天书,直到 Heaven or Las Vegas 的歌词才开始有意义。CT只有极少歌词是印在内页上的。所谓的“歌词”是外国人听抄出来的,而Liz关于这些极少回应。在1997年CT解散。Liz的个人事业也随之展开,但到目前为止,她只有一张单曲。
她曾与世界许多优秀的音乐家合作,如MASSIVE ATTACK合作的“Teardrop”。Teardrop是Liz Fraser和Trip Hop高手Massive Attack合作的,离散的电子琴声将Liz Fraser的声音打造的迷离而优美。Liz Fraser将自己的声音献给了无穷无尽的忧伤和虚幻。给我们带来的则是一种不一样的听觉享受。这毫无暖意的鼓点和Liz Fraser的天籁之声所形成的巨大反差恰巧形成了一种不相称美感。参与了多部电影的配乐献唱,最近的代表作是《魔戒》。LIZ FRASER堪称80年代和90年代最优秀的歌手之一。
The Cocteau Twins' Elizabeth Fraser was once described by a British critic as having "the voice of God." When the Cocteau Twins released their debut LP, Garlands, in 1982, Fraser's dreamy, otherworldly vocals stunned the U.K. press and legendary BBC DJ John Peel, who had the band perform live on his radio show before Garlands even hit the shelves. Born on August 29, 1958, in Falkirk, Scotland, Fraser joined the Cocteau Twins in the early '80s. (Guitarist Robin Guthrie was her boyfriend.) The Cocteau Twins found success on their own terms. While the group never sold millions of albums, their audience expanded with every LP; moreover, Fraser influenced bands like Throwing Muses, the Sundays, Belly, the Cranberries, and Sugar Hiccup, the latter even named after a Cocteau Twins track. In 1986, Fraser sang on The Moon and the Melodies, an album recorded by the Cocteau Twins and keyboardist/composer Harold Budd that received substantial college radio airplay. The Cocteau Twins' songs often featured unintelligible lyrics; the title track to 1990s Heaven or Las Vegas startled fans with its fairly decipherable words and it was spun constantly on modern rock stations. The Cocteau Twins broke up in the late '90s. In addition to her work with the Cocteau Twins, Fraser has collaborated with artists such as Ian McCulloch, the Bathers, and Massive Attack.
