Diana Krall - The Girl in the Other Room 在另外的房间的女孩


      


   
生命中所有可能的誘惑…
…在她的歌聲中與你感性的相遇..

◎葛萊美獎爵士天后睽違三年最新錄音室作品
◎翻唱搖滾奇才Tom Waits名作「Temptation」，翻新現代爵士風貌與搖滾交錯橫生之深邃想像空間
◎爵士經典名伶Billie Holiday傳世金曲「I’m pulling through」、Joni Mitchell名作「Black Crow」、Bonnie Raitt排行佳作「Love me like a man」
◎6首全新自創曲，首度展現天后情韻不凡的創作功力

爵士女歌手戴安娜?克瑞兒與英國搖滾奇才艾維斯?克斯提羅兩人甫於2003年12 月10日於歌手艾爾頓?強的自宅完成婚禮，新婚濃情蜜意之時也傳出兩人將為戴安娜2004年的全新專輯『The Girl In The Other Room』合作演出。

錄製這張專輯時順利又完美，似乎另一張得獎傑作又呼之欲出。包括葛萊美獎製作人湯米?利普瑪與錄音工程師艾爾?史密特與戴安娜?克瑞兒和其他樂手們在好萊塢、洛杉磯的 Capitol錄音室與紐約等地完成錄音之後，都極為欣慰且雀躍。因為一張優異的錄音絕對是團隊的表現，任何一個環節都不容忽略與稍有閃失。

在最新錄音中夫婿艾維斯?克斯提羅與戴安娜共同完成了專輯六首全新歌曲，另外她也再次挑戰 Tom Waits的『Temptation』與瓊妮?米卻兒的『Black Crow』與老牌鋼琴歌手Mose Allison的歌曲『Stop The World』。整張專輯的選曲可以說跳脫了傳統爵士樂曲的桎梏，迎向另一個音樂的新視野。

2004年4月不僅是Verve唱片60週年的紀念日，戴安娜?克瑞兒的全新出發也將為爵士樂帶來新的世代。

Amazon.com Editorial Reviews:

Singer/pianist Diana Krall breaks new ground interpreting modern standards by Tom Waits, Mose Allison, and Joni Mitchell, as well as compositions by herself and new husband, Elvis Costello. Krall's piano-jazz cred comes through loudly and clearly on her Count Basie-styled version of the Bonnie Raitt staple "Love Me Like a Man" (written by folk-bluesman Chris Smither). But it's the collaborations with her spouse that unearth untapped emotional nuances of her velvet voice; many are reminiscent of Bill Evans's moody, impressionistic pieces. The title track, "Narrow Daylight," "Abandoned Masquerade," and "I’m Coming Through" all deal with love and loss. "Departure Bay," a picturesque ode to her hometown of Nanaimo, B.C., proves that this is the start of something big, and that two heads--and hearts--are better than one. --Eugene Holley Jr.
在诺拉·琼斯（Norah Jones）之前，Diana Krall是当代的爵士演唱女歌手中商业成绩最好的明星之一。Diana Krall与诺拉·琼斯一样，在她出道之初也曾经引起了音乐界和评论界对于她的独特风格的诸多争论，她也曾游离于流行歌曲和爵士演唱之间，让评论界对于她的音乐定义而广泛讨论。


                                                              
               

                                                    Diana　Krall——她越古朴就越摩登

the girl in the other room    ---diana krall     
(music and lyrics by Diana Krall and Elvis Costello)

The girl in the other room
She knows by now
There's something in all of her fears
Now she wears this thread bare
She sits on the floor
The glass pressed tight to the wall
She hears murmurs low
The paper is peeling
Her eyes staring straight at the ceiling

Maybe they're there
Or maybe it's nothing at all
As she draws lipstick smears on the wall

The girl in the other room
She powders her face
And stares hard into her reflection

The girl in the other room
She stifles a yawn
Adjusting the strap of her gown
She tosses her tresses
Her lover undresses
Turning the last lamp light down
What's that voice we're hearing
We should be sleeping
Could that be someone who's weeping
Maybe she's there
Maybe there's nothing to see
Just a trace of what used to be
The girl in the other room
She darkens her lash and blushes
She seems to look familiar

其实细细的听一听这一首歌,真的很有感觉,歌词也不错!

不能放阿~~~~~~阿门
