艺人介绍

小简介

出生时间:1960年生于美国费城

风格划分:硬摇滚、朋克摇滚

艺人简介:她玩的是简单而纯粹的摇滚乐,她从不把自己的性别当一回事,她是几代摇滚女性的偶像。

Jett的音乐最明显的标志就是雪崩一样的音量和无法抵抗的钩子(指音乐中引人入胜的细节),the Rolling Stones一样精力充沛的形象和节奏,AC/DC一样强大的和弦演奏。她坚持摇滚乐的传统,但也不断有所突破──她玩的是经典的三和弦rock & roll,然而她也喜欢某些被认为是垃圾的东西(比如Gary Glitter)。从他的第一支乐队the Runaways到他在八十年代的金曲机器合作者the Blackhearts直至她在九十年代出人意料的成功复出,她的音乐从未改变过,她用这种方式保证音乐的品质,并用这种方式创造了经典(“I Love Rock-n-Roll”)。

Joan Jett原名Joan Larkin,15岁便成立了自己的第一支乐队,并为人们演出。洛杉矶的一个制作人Kim Fowley发现了Joan Jett的乐队,于是他主动担任了乐队的经纪人,在将这支全部由女性组成的乐队改名为the Runaways后,乐队签约于Mercury唱片公司。乐队最初的三张专辑在美国基本没有什么太大商业成就,但在日本却大受欢迎,而且有趣的是,在洛杉矶的朋克圈和硬摇滚圈中她都十分吃香,她在这种状况下为硬核乐队the Germs制作了他们的第一张专辑《G.I.》。

1980年The Runaways解散,Jett来到纽约开始个人发展。在经纪人兼制作人Kenny Laguna的协助下,Jett独立发行了以她自己的名字命名的个人专辑,因为没有唱片公司对她感兴趣。这张唱片和比较朋克化的Runaways相比是一张相当传统的rock & roll唱片,但却保持了以前那种挑衅性的态度。唱片的销售结果对于独立发行来讲相当不错,这引起了Boardwalk唱片公司的注意,他们以《Bad Reputation》之名再版了这张专辑,最终在美国专辑榜上名列第51。

在《Bad Reputation》发行后Jett成立了the Blackhearts乐队,1981年,Jett以Joan Jett & The Blackhearts之名推出了第二张专辑《I Love Rock-n-Roll》,这是她的辉煌时刻,也是八十年代重摇滚的开场白,专辑名列Top10,单曲“I Love Rock-n-Roll”成为一代摇滚礼赞。但其后的一系列专辑再也未能取得如此的佳绩,也再没有一首单曲能与“I Love Rock-n-Roll”媲美。1987年Jett在电影《Light of Day》中担任主演。1988年,取自专辑《Up Your Alley》的单曲“I Hate Myself for Loving You”终于再次打入Top10,专辑也成为了她的第二张白金唱片。1990年的精选《The Hit List》成绩还算理想,但1991年的专辑《Notorious》则在榜上彻底失败。但在此时,在《Notorious》和1994的《Pure and Simple》之间,新一代女性摇滚艺人开始崛起,从重型非主流乐队L7到riot grrl朋克乐队Bikini Kill的每一个人都宣称受到了Jett与the Runaways的影响,其结果是《Pure and Simple》引起了人们的极大兴趣,自八十年代中期后,评论界从未像对这张专辑一样表示过热情。1995年,Jett与the Gits(这支乐队的主唱Mia Zapata1993年被先奸后杀)的残余成员录制了一张现场专辑《Evilstig》。1999年,Jett重组了the Blackhearts并录制了专辑《Fetish》。

推荐专辑:《I Love Rock-n-Roll》

by Stephen Thomas Erlewine

By playing pure and simple rock & roll without making an explicit issue of her gender, Joan Jett became a figurehead for several generations of female rockers. Jetts brand of rock & roll is loud and stripped-down, yet with overpowering hooks — a combination of the Stones tough, sinewy image and beat, AC/DC chords, and glam rock hooks. As the numerous covers she has recorded show, she adheres both to rock tradition and breaks with it — she plays classic three-chord rock & roll, yet she also loves the trashy elements (in particular, Gary Glitter) of it as well, and she plays with a defiant sneer. From her first band, the Runaways, through her hit-making days in the 80s with the Blackhearts right until her unexpected revival in the 90s, she hasnt changed her music, yet shes kept her quality control high, making one classic single (I Love Rock n Roll) along the way.

Jett was born in Philadelphia, PA; her family moved to Los Angeles when she was 12 years old. By the time she was 15, she had formed her first band and was performing around town. Kim Fowley, a Los Angeles record producer, discovered the band at one of their gigs and became their manager; soon, he renamed the all-female group the Runaways and secured them a contract with Mercury Records. The band released three albums that never had much commercial success in America, yet were very popular in Japan; the group was popular in both the Los Angeles hard rock and punk scenes, which led to Jetts production of the Germs first record, (GI). The Runaways group broke up in 1980 and Jett moved to New York to begin a solo career.

Teaming up with producer/manager Kenny Laguna, Jett independently released her self-titled debut album in 1980 in America, since no labels were interested in signing her. The record was a more traditional rock & roll record than the punky Runaways, yet it retained her previous bands defiant attitude. The record sold very well for an independent release, leading to a contract with Boardwalk Records, who reissued the album under the title Bad Reputation; it soon climbed to number 51 on the American charts.

Jett formed the Blackhearts between Bad Reputation and her second album, 1981s I Love Rock-n-Roll; the group included guitarist Ricky Byrd, bassist Gary Ryan, and drummer Lee Crystal. Released at the end of 1981, I Love Rock-n-Roll became her greatest success, sending her into the Top Ten. Originally the B-side of an Arrows single, the title track was an enormous success, spending seven weeks at number one in the spring of 1982. The follow-up single, a version of Tommy James & the Shondells Crimson and Clover, went Top Ten as well; a single of Gary Glitters Do You Wanna Touch Me (Oh Yeah), taken from the Bad Reputation album, reached number 20 in the summer of 1982. Album, released in 1983, went gold yet had no hits that compared with either I Love Rock n Roll or Crimson and Clover.

Jett starred in Paul Schraders 1987 film Light of Day, which featured the Top 40 title song, yet she didnt have another Top Ten hit until 1988, when I Hate Myself for Loving You, taken from the Up Your Alley album, hit number eight; the album became her second platinum record. After the albums success, her career had another slow period, with 1990s all-covers album The Hit List making it to number 36 and 1991s Notorious failing to chart. Between Notorious and 1994s Pure and Simple, a new generation of female rockers came of age and everyone from hard alternative rockers like L7 to the minimalist, riot grrrl punk rockers like Bikini Kill claimed Jett and the Runaways as an influence. As a consequence, Pure and Simple received more press and positive reviews than any of her albums since the mid-80s. In 1995, Jett recorded the live album Evilstig with the remaining members of the Gits, a Seattle punk rock band whose lead singer, Mia Zapata, was raped and murdered in 1993. Jett reunited with the Blackhearts for the 1999 album Fetish, and in 2006 Sinner, a return to her punk roots (and ten of whose 14 songs were found on the 2004 Japanese-only record Naked), came out.
