【窒息】Marc Dorsey - I Crave

  

I wake up to shadows,
touching your pillow,
looking for a trace of your smile.
And that’s when it hit me,
you’re no longer with me,
in fact is been quite a while,
since I sit here drinking coffee as you sipped your tea,
and you swore you’d always love,
and care for me,
And even though there is no more us to save.

Its you I crave

I crave your touch,
I crave your lips,
I miss so much,
the excitement of your kiss,
and since your gone,
my heart won’t behave,
its your love that I still crave.

It may look like I’m happy,
people who know me,
they know I’m not doing so well.
I heard that you been dating,
and though I been waiting,
I had found you and no one else.
And just the thought of never waking up with, you again,
always turned me inside out,
how could, we let it end,
And even there is no more us to save.

Its you I crave...

【MV】Sev Statik & Dust - Steamroller

 


 Sev Statik是實在的東岸白人MC,在紐約混跡多年,說唱時段落分明,些許隱匿的憤怒加上些許雜亂的情緒為其特點,是一名狠角色!

【纖塵】Gordon Chambers

 
Gordon Chambers
 
Rhyme Wave介紹


 唱作俱「優」的紐約音樂人Gordon Chambers,在2005年與2007年發行了兩張內容豐富的獨立專輯之後,並沒有停下他的腳步;和不同領域的音樂人撞擊出的歌曲火花,更見Gordon Chambers累積數十年的音樂修養。
 
 以下介紹四首新近之作。
 
 
 與扎實派女音樂人Angela Johnson合作的〈Get Away〉收錄於Angela Johnson的2008年專輯《A woman's touch, Vol. 1》),R&B和Reggae的交融,極為自然的律動性。

 與DJ Kawasaki合作了兩曲,分別出版於2008年之前後,是讓人意外的驚喜。
 第一曲是收錄於《Yon can make it》〈Believe〉

 第二曲是收錄於合輯《Most wanted》的〈If You Love Me (DJ Kawasaki Remix)〉

 與來自Wanshington D.C.的Funk Jazz團體76 Degrees West Band合作的2009年新曲〈Can't Keep Runnin'(收錄於76 Degrees West Band的2009年同名專輯),當屬入春之際的聽覺饗宴,與〈Get Away〉同樣是爬降音階流暢無比的好作品。

【循環】欠缺解釋的憂傷

 
 思考,以遲鈍力表示它的大無畏精神,喚醒那些片斷、已逝的鏡花雪月,打破時間規範,統治存活狀態下的未來之我。
 
 可以想像的是那些難以想像之事。所有與過往生命有關以及現時生命無關的,皆以各自形式、姿態,或銷毀或延續,無論思考與否,固執地緊縛著我,肆意地滋擾著我。

 「循環」,超越「意外」、「制式」、「約束」、「命定」、「機會」等情境,是最完美且最冷血的生存模式。也許循環被認為是:人類不得不在相同族裔組成的複雜世界中,必須力行卻不得公開宣揚,一旦偏離正途即被視作背叛的唯一正途。

 每一歷史是循環的無限兩端延伸,每一生命也必定循此而為。
 思考藉由遲鈍外貌貫徹其使命,與積極面向等量存在。

 而身體是一具載體,明令循環的絕對成立。

【MV】Pigeon John and Flynn Adam are Rootbeer

 

 
 前陣子,西岸老球皮Pigeon John和長期合作的LA Symphony團員之一的Flynn Adam組成了Rootbeer,現在他們的EP《The Pink Limousine》(粉紅小客車)出版了。這首同名單曲〈Pink Limousine〉依舊維持Pigeon John的玩樂風,另一首〈Chimpanzee〉也是類似感覺。
 


 有沒有The Neptunes的味道呢?

【霓昂】Jarrard Anthony - Decade of Dreams

 
 素有「Mr. Independent of R&B的」稱號 ,一直以來在地下發展的Jarrard Anthony,2009年發表了他的第三張正式專輯《Decade of Dreams》。
 
 出生自美國芝加哥,這崇尚自由之風的R&B城市,Jarrard Anthony的音樂之路走得確實與眾不同;除了傳統的Soul與晚近的Neo-Soul,他最拿手的是一種叫做Electro Soul,這也許與他早先在英國發展有所關係(於此可以聽到些許Seal的風格)。總而言之,我們可以在其音樂中聽到不同成分與多樣曲風,並且都是經由相當程度的構思和淬煉而成。「Mr. Independent of R&B」是名符其實的。
 
 另外要提到的是Jarrard Anthony拿手的Acoustic Guitar,這種以Folk與Rock為基礎搭建出的Soul有高度聆聽性。

【MV】Raphael Saadiq - 100 Yard Dash

 

 

【消息】Raheem DeVaughn is in progress

 
 據了解,靈魂歌手Raheem DeVaughn宣布其下一張專輯可能名稱為《The Love and War Masterpiece》,出自於Bob Marley與黑人人權學者Cornell West的感召!這張專輯是翻唱80~90年代的歌曲,但成為一張公開發行的專輯可能有不少「想像空間」,比較可能的是接續他前五張實驗專輯《Street Experience Vol.1~5》,畢竟在風格是頗為類似的。
 
 目前已公開的幾首歌曲為Luther Vandross的〈Never Too Much〉、Prince的〈I Would Die 4 U〉、Al B Sure!的〈Nite & Day〉,以及Stevie Wonder的〈Redemption Song〉和〈Village Ghetto Land〉;另外Raphael SaadiqBobby BrownTevin CampbellAaron HallRalph Tresvant等人的作品也在收入之列。

【知微】V feat. Kev Brown - Best Friend

 

  
 2005年
 Valvin Roane以V這個名字
 在BBE唱片發行了他的首張個人專輯《The Revelation is Now Televised》
 
 這張專輯有幾個特別意義
 一、在Jazzy Jeff與Jill Scott的提攜下
   此專輯是二十世紀初期的Neo-Soul典範專輯之一
 二、專輯歌曲頗具深度
   有點形而上的概念陳述
 三、假如對Musiq Soulchild有所認識
   V的歌曲是其加強版
 四、若想對「費城音樂」有進一步了解
   這張專輯完全是它的近代演化成果

 好消息是
 V的第二張專輯預計於今年三月問世
 值得我們高度期待

【前端】PPP - The Official Abundance Mixtape

 
 底特律的著名前衛雙人團Triple P(Waajeed & Saadiq, PPP, Platinum Pied Pipers)在新專輯《Abundance》發行的同時也釋出了同名的混音專輯。
 Triple P的野心不僅只於開創音樂產業的活絡面,更重要的是,如何建構以原有自我為基礎的前提下,立下革命性的反思與澄清;這個意思是:在HipHop看似成績斐然、同時已經走向死胡同的當下,是否該敲破自家牆垣呢?
 Waajeed的企圖很明顯,為HipHop擘寫願景,為R&B試探新局,兩者整合為一的局面會是如何,「Abundance」(豐富、充足)的字義就是最高的期許。
