《The Look of Love》,这张荣获第44届格莱美最佳非古典专辑制作大奖的专辑,力求用最单纯的音符、最传统的乐器融合做到最透彻的情感表达。整张专辑没有任何商业化的娇揉做作和躁动轻浮的气息,节奏舒缓明朗不乏起伏。Diana Krall,这位出生在加拿大卑诗省的Nanaimo小镇的新生代爵士女歌手,一举打破爵士音乐界“以自弹自唱方式演出的艺人很难拥有好的销售”的不成文规矩,用自己深厚的古典钢琴基础和扎实的演唱功底,征服了每个聆听她天籁之音的人们。 在《The Look of Love》中,Krall用她低浑、沉稳、凝重的嗓音,带给我们略带忧伤的念旧情绪,融化在感怀氛围中的一种不可触及的甜美被小资情调的柔和旋律诠释得淋漓尽致而又恰到好处。最让我痴迷的当数第八曲I get along without you very well,凸现出很浓的蓝调情怀,对音乐情感的精确把握,让这首歌的哼唱轻重缓急鲜明到位、自然流畅。简约而不简单是我对整张专辑的最高评价。 去年的Billboard榜爵士专辑年终前五名中,Diana Krall的《Live In Paris》和《The Look of Love》两张专辑分别占据亚、季军两个位置,实力不容置疑。 歌词: The look of love is in your eyes A look your smile can’’t disguise The look of lo-ove is saying so much more than just words could ever say And what my heart has heard, well it takes my breath away I can hardly wait to hold you, feel my arms around you How long I have waited Waited just to love you, now that I have found you Don’’t ever go You’’ve got the Look of love, it’’s on your face A look that time can’’t erase Be mine toni-ight, let this be just the start of so many nights like this Let’’s take a lover’’s vow and then seal it with a kiss I can hardly wait to hold you, feel my arms around you How long I have waited Waited just to love you, now that I have found you Don’’t ever go Don’’t ever go I love you so I love you so I love you so
