Anna Nalick

Anna Nalick不錯(cuò)，不過美國真的不缺她這樣的類型。但是，就像他們鐘愛雞腿漢堡一樣，她會(huì)流行開來。20歲的女生，雖然吃漢堡長大讓她顯得過于成熟，但這確實(shí)是一個(gè)年輕的新人在發(fā)表第一張專輯。個(gè)人具備的創(chuàng)作和演唱才華，讓她獲得不少的稱贊，雖然不是一邊倒的驚嘆。在某些轉(zhuǎn)音和細(xì)微的鼻音處，她會(huì)貼近Alanis Morisette，什么都好，只是差了Alanis Morisette當(dāng)年首發(fā)專輯的那點(diǎn)藥力，那點(diǎn)沖勁，那點(diǎn)猛烈。但是這個(gè)加州女歌手的專輯，還是很值得去聽一下，有著動(dòng)聽的旋律，一點(diǎn)都不稚嫩的聲線，與那些音樂界動(dòng)不動(dòng)就深刻得讓人頭疼的思想家相比，我選擇這個(gè)———這種不求上進(jìn)的態(tài)度，有點(diǎn)像加菲。
兼收并蓄用多了，容易招致一些爭議。Anna Nalick的音樂對于偏好搖滾的耳朵，顯得柔和了一些；而對于流行的口味，又似乎吞咽起來讓他們的腮幫子有點(diǎn)吃力。如果你之前對Michelle Branch、Liz Phair還都相當(dāng)喜愛的話，她應(yīng)該是你要的。她聲音的溫度明顯比Sarah McLachlan高，而某些慢歌有相當(dāng)?shù)募兌葏s不像Norah Jones那么讓人納悶。
在Anna Nalick的專輯里不只講到情愛神傷，也會(huì)提示生活與信念?！禝nMyHead》描述了在白日夢里尋求解脫的心情?！禕leed》則是專輯里相對增加搖滾力度的作品，AnnaNalick的聲音在放開和收斂的時(shí)候差別不小，這部分因素將來可以把她引向兩個(gè)方向———要么就是像全世界的優(yōu)秀女歌手卻唯獨(dú)不像自己，要么就是找到真正應(yīng)該強(qiáng)化的部分，讓我們可以在第一時(shí)間辨認(rèn)出她的聲音和音樂。
《ConsiderThis》是專輯里的一首執(zhí)拗而有趣的搖滾歌曲，也屬于比較草根的作業(yè)，音樂是好聽的。而整張專輯有一個(gè)比較尷尬的地方就是：聽《Satellite》像聽到Jewel；聽《IntheRough》又像聽到AndreaCorr；中板的《Citadel》似乎又有加拿大的搖滾女歌手FionaApple的痕跡。所以一定程度上，她給自己出了個(gè)難題，《WreckoftheDay》對于新人來講是足以獲得好評的一張作品，但是下一張如果沒有明顯地走出來的話，就會(huì)成為流行連鎖企業(yè)里看不出特色的一家普通加盟店。
