美国流行乐界金牌制作人大卫·福斯特

及新好男孩、小甜甜布兰妮、惠特尼·休斯顿的制作人合力打造

欧美流行乐坛新晋男子组合--优声男孩PLUS ONE

·首张专辑《承诺》获“年度最佳新晋团体”、“年度最佳专辑”等五项提名

·可与“西城男孩”匹敌的又一完美的偶像男子组合

在男孩组合大行其道的今天,Backstreet Boys、Westlife这样的前辈依旧风头强健,而新一代的生力军N'SYNC也是不甘人后,屡创佳绩。虽然如此,一个男孩组合想要在众多的新人中脱颖而出,也决非易事。

2002年初,又有一支新生部队整装待发了。这支华纳唱片旗下的新男孩组合Plus One(优声男孩)由5名平均年龄仅20岁的男孩(Jeremy Mhire、Jason Perry、Nat Cole、Gabe Combs和Natha Walters)所组成,他们不但个个外型青春帅气,唱功舞技也是样样一流。

《The Promise》(承诺)是Plus One的首张专辑,也是他们给歌迷们的一份好音乐的承诺。该专辑除了有老板David Foster助阵之外,更有Backstreet Boys、Britney Spears、Whitney Houston和Jessica Simpson等横跨流行、节奏蓝调、福音等音乐界之黄金阵容联手打造。

· 首支温暖柔畅单曲《Last Flight Out》曾是迪士尼电视节目中点播率冠军的热门单曲;

·《I Will Rescue U》及《Written On My Heart》轻快流畅的节奏,展现了Plus One活力四射的青春气息;

· 有着如TLC、Destiny Child般R&B甜美畅意的《Soul Tatoo》;

· 默契十足的合音流露出浓厚福音味的撼人佳作《When The Spirit Get Too Weak》;

· 在动感活蹦的节奏推波助澜下,《My Life》则是展现出Plus One完全解放,欢娱百分百的劲作;

·《God In Your Place》在柔美而充满情感的情绪中倾泻出佛郎民歌的淡淡曲式。

Plus One的《The Promise》专辑中却明显感受到他们多了份感谢与温暖,仿佛是天际传来美丽的天使之音

The remarkable group known as Plus One burst into the music world as a hot boy band with a twist -- the twist being a Christian message mixed in with the teen idol good looks, sexy smiles, and smooth vocal harmonies. Gabe Combs, Jeremy Mhire, Nathan Walters, Jason Perry, and Nate Cole make up Plus One. Each member is from a different location in the United States and was selected from tons of talented competitors.

With style and tunes in the vein of those from the Backstreet Boys and 'N Sync, Plus One was a brainstorm project idea that came to life in an amazing way. The group worked with producer and songwriter David Forster, who has won more than a dozen Grammy Awards during his career and is the chairman for Atlantic/143 Records. Other big names on the production team were Eric Foster White, Buster & Shavoni, Chris Farren, and Bradley Spalter, who have worked with many prominent and popular artists such as Britney Spears, Celine Dion, Faith Hill, Whitney Houston, Brandy, and the Backstreet Boys.

In 2000, Plus One released their hit debut album, The Promise. The album sold over 19,000 copies in its first week on the store shelves. That broke the record in contemporary Christian album sales for a single week. The Promise hit the Christian Soundscan charts at number one, and even landed on Billboard's 200, competing against other genres of music. Some of the noteworthy tracks on this extraordinary debut album are "My Life," "Run to You," "Soul Tattoo," and "My Friend." One of the singles, "Written on My Heart," was in the Top Ten spot only weeks after its release.

Plus One completed a successful month-long promotional tour after the release of The Promise, during which time they also finished a new music video and made plans for other tours -- one with Jaci Velasquez in the fall of 2000. After several TV appearances, the group went back into the studio with several big name CCM producers and even co-wrote some of their own material. The results, Obvious, was released in March of 2002.
