话说Andrew Bird与Emily Loizeau两位杰出歌者的共性,除了他们都有小鸟般的迷人歌喉,还有同属Fargo Records厂牌的同门关系(Emily也是此Inde Disque的首位法国本土签约歌手),而更重要的是他们的音乐风格!均如此优雅、热情、精致与富有诗意,并且这两只殊途同归的小鸟,彼此灵犀,一人展歌喉,一人拉提琴,台下配合默契,台上交相辉映。Andrew Bird在L'autre bout du Monde里所表现的元素,就好似那些艺人用来渲染气氛、激发灵感的唯美诗句和香醇甘露那样,时时缔造精彩。当然这其中还有Emily的首位Solo合作者Frank Monnet的时隐时现。
而Emily作为这其中的歌者,更是在黑白的音键前行云流水的一把好手。从六年前懵懂的小女人,慢慢地成长为成熟女性,随着时间流逝,她用自己的音乐语言绘制出了梦中的成人世界。听她的音乐就好比在黑白间行走的浮云,让我想到了ARMANI那经典的黑白绝配,阿码尼这老头所用的黑色和白色,以极端低调的奢华震撼了灵壳,怎样也都想知道这些衣饰穿在身上,是如何浑然天成的感觉啊(引自Hecate名言)……而这音乐也是如此,淡然的雅致诠释奢华,绵亿的思想迸发。从Beatles 到Renuad、NIna Simone、Bob Dylan和Tom Waits,受这些出色的英法歌者的启发,Emily培养了自己的音乐品味,营造出自己的音乐氛围,发展着自己的音乐事业。,而这其中,和古典乐的结合,就是Emily美丽华彩中的个性靓色,尤其是在Franz Schubert和J.S. Bach的熏陶下,Emily运用琴键的独特魅力,从古典乐中走出了自己的流行风格。
从2001年开始,Emily的音乐打造计划就开始付诸实施。在参加了一些剧场演出和零星的舞台表演后,这只可爱的小鸟除谱曲外,也开始尝试写一些感性的文字,那些雅致、灵性、妙趣横生,甚至有些狂野的文字,使其音乐才华崭露无疑。一年后,Emily和Jean-Louis Foulquier(此君是闻名世界的滨海夏朗德省“法兰西嘉年华音乐盛典Francofolies的记者和乐评家),后者通过电台节目把Emily介绍给了听众,并曾安排她在03年的音乐开幕式上和Renaud合作,不过后来此活动因故取消。同年,她也参加了SONY 举办的一个比赛,并拿出了自己的六首新歌~其中就有和Frank Monnet的合作曲目。
而现在,你可以在Neo电台收听到Emily的迷人声音,Wild Cabaret和Tryo等公司均对她表示了合作意向。之后,Francofolies由投票选出她和Patrica Kaas的合作。可谓Emily的歌声如彩虹般绽放,她也参与了FranckMonnet先生和另一位Simone的合作制作,一同灌录唱片。
2006年2月28日,Emily Loizeau发行了她的首张个人处女大碟,"L'autre bout du Monde"另一个世界。
