(抽出一段介紹:Darryl Moore’s years of hard work has not escaped the attention of the industry. His acclaimed contribution to Gorilla Zoe’s hit “Life of a Hustla” ensured Mr. Moore’s name would be whispered among those in the know. These nods of approval would reach as high an academia as Darryl has the distinction of contributing his vocals to “Soul Sista” a collaboration with Cornell West on his “Never Forget a Journey of Street Revelations” album. The record featured the likes of Andre 3000, Jill Scott and Gerald Levert, an impressive feat that seems to predict more greatness ahead from this talented artist.)
2006年發跡的Georgia Anne Muldrow ,無論和Dudley Perkins合組前衛實驗雙人組G&D,或以個人名義或化名發表的多張專輯,這位1983年出生的女音樂人,把她的音樂控制在不易界定的Neo-Soul邊陲。當大部分人覺得她特別時,往往她的意識型態(ideology)就容易被忽略。
這就是「特別」吸引人之處;人們頂多知其然,而少追究其所以然。
許多人不懂的地方可能在於,Georgia Anne Muldrow究竟是在唱歌、說話、唸詩,還是喃喃自語。我們絕對不能認為,Georgia Anne Muldrow是隨興的製造音樂,她可能從事的是一種年輕黑人對於逐漸「陌異化的世界」的「敏感表象化」。這種敏感可能是人皆有之,它的原型可能是恐懼、是害怕、是愉悅、是享樂,是「所有人性」的幅射;相對的,它的積極面是欠缺的,因為「所有人性的呈現」是得具有完整性的、要讓旁觀者或多或少心領神會的,而不是宛如拼圖,東湊一個西湊一對,讓「呈現門檻」過度抬升。
