艺人资料
玛丽亚很早就开始了她的歌唱事业。在她十岁的时候,已经在她的家乡小镇文内斯拉拉参加了当地的音乐会。在那之后,玛丽亚花了一段时间形成自己独特的演唱风格。
2003年3月,玛丽亚发布了她的第一张同名专辑《Maria Arredondo》。请来了诸如Jonas von Der Burg, Espen Lind 这样的大牌制作人。作曲者水准也是很高,Christian Ingebrigtsen,Silje Nergaard等都为她操刀动笔。这张专辑一出世,就在挪威最大的报纸“VG”的音乐版上获得了最高的评价,它的销量是白金。第一首单曲“Can let go”于2002年5月推出,与Christian Ingebrigtsen合唱的“In love with an angel”空降冠军,同样是白金销量。玛丽亚难以置信的成功使她在当时备受关注,被认为有潜力成为新的“挪威天后”。而另一首单曲“A thousand nights”也很受欢迎。玛丽亚的声线非常好,性感但不做作,有力但不炫耀,明亮但不过分照人。
2004年11月,玛丽亚发布了她的第二张专辑《Not going under》,作为她第一张有MV的专辑。其中的“Burning”这首歌被广泛传播,是非常受欢迎的歌曲!诱惑力,爱情,妖娆的盘绕让人无法拒绝。另一首歌“Cross Every River”,MTV拍得可爱之至。
2005年圣诞之际,玛丽亚发布了第三张专辑《Min Jul》。
2007年圣诞前夕,玛丽亚发布了第四张专辑《For a Moment》。其中的主打曲“Brief and beautiful”的MV,玛丽亚给人感觉成熟了许多,“Brief and beautiful” 也一时间成为玛丽亚自2004发行了《Not going under》这张专辑以来在挪威最受欢迎的歌曲。 "Brief and Beautiful"由Hanne Sørvaag和Harry Sommerdahl所写。经改编而成的西班牙语歌曲"Fue para los dos"在2007年前西班牙歌手Edurne演唱。
2008年,玛丽亚参与演出了舞台剧“音乐之声”并发布了新专辑《Sound of Musicals》。这首专辑中以翻唱经典为主,同时糅合了她自己独特的风格,有一种使经典重生和耳目一新的感觉。其中“I know him so well”这首歌祥和美好,值得一听。至于专辑中所翻唱的《狮子王》主题曲更是广受欢迎,有着很大程度上不同于原唱的听觉感受。
2010年,发布了单曲“The Touch”。2013年6月28日,新专辑《Heime Nå在家》发布。
她的音乐风格是一种流行乐和梦幻流行乐的混合,与M2M、Natalie Imbruglia、Michelle Branch,、Jewel和The Cranberries这样的艺术家们类似。
在2014年7月,她在音乐剧“Kober Mystery”中饰演角色。
Maria Arredondo (born 6 July 1985 in Vennesla, Norway) is a Norwegian pop singer. The name Arredondo comes from her Chilean stepfather.
In March 2003, Arredondo released her first album, the self-titled Maria Arredondo by Universal Music Norway. The album was a success in Norway, attaining the highest possible scores from a Norwegian newspaper, VG.
In November 2004, Arredondo released her second album, Not Going Under. This was the first album to have videos from the singles, as Arredondo did not produce any videos for her first album.
After Arredondo released her Christmas album, Min Jul with some tracks produced and arranged by Jon Lord of Deep Purple). The track "On Christmas Day" was released as a single. Arredondo's three albums have combined sales of over 150,000.
Arredondo was among other contributions of singers like Marit Larsen in the song "For a Friend" and Marion Raven in the song "That Day", both members of the defunct band M2M.
On 12 November 2007, she released her fourth album For a Moment. The first single from this album, "Brief and Beautiful" became a monster-hit throughout the fall. "Brief and Beautiful" was written by Hanne Sørvaag and Harry Sommerdahl, and a Spanish-language adaptation of this song called "Fue para los dos" was released earlier in 2007 by Spanish singer Edurne.
Her fourth album was met with mixed reviews. On the album, "Even when you're with me" is a cover of the Spanish singer Chenoa's "Me Enamoro Del Dolor", and "If You Could Only See Me" was originally recorded by another Norwegian artist called Ina.
Arredondo entered the qualifying rounds of the Melodi Grand Prix 2010 (the Norwegian selection process for the Eurovision Song Contest) on 16 January 2010 and was voted through to the national final, with the song "The Touch", which is written by Rolf Løvland.
