唱片简介:


  自从92年打破猫王纪录,钢琴怪杰Elton John连续22年都有单曲入主Billboard单曲榜前40名,至今更缔造30年排行榜不缺席纪录,而出道至今全球唱片销售总数已逾1亿5千万张。新世纪的首张大碟Songs From The West Coast(西岸之歌)大胆增添新意,这次Elton John仍旧和最懂他音乐的填词伙伴Bernie Taupin通力完成,并以全面同步收音的效果录制,让整张专辑十二轨统统听得到。   开场曲“The Emperor s New Clothes”舍弃华丽编曲,以纯净的钢琴伴奏,领御整张专辑的风格,与他早期专辑Tumbleweed Connection、Madman Across the Water骨子里的精神如出一辙。另外,他特别学习Burt Bachrach及Hal David风格创作了“This Train Dont Stop There Anymore”;同时也有相当贴近时事脉动的作品,像首支录制的单曲“American Triangle”,即讲述怀俄明州一名同性恋年轻人惨遭谋杀的故事,以及如“Tiny Dancer”般旋律隽永的爱滋病悲歌“Ballad Of The Boy In The Red Shoes”等。 Elton John/埃尔顿·约翰,本名为Reginald Kenneth Dwight,是史上最成功最流行的艺人之一,与之比肩的是迈克尔·杰克逊、麦当娜、披头士、猫王。这个名声,需要无数个“第一”来堆积才能得到。他不但从1970年开始每年都有歌曲进入美国排行榜前40名,在他的40年演艺生涯中,他卖出了超过2.5亿张唱片,他的单曲《风中之烛1997版》卖出了超过3700万张,是史上最卖座的单曲。他有超过50张排行前40的歌曲,包括美国排行榜第一的七连冠专辑,56个TOP 40单曲,16个前十名,4个第二名精选辑,9个第一名精选辑。他赢得了5次格莱美奖,一个奥斯卡奖,一个金球奖,一个托尼奖,他是流行音乐中“流行”的最好注解,他还是把钢琴推上第一乐器宝座的乐手。2004年,滚石杂志把他列入史上最伟大的100名艺术家,排名49,他的音乐才能和作品,总是有着强烈的个人烙印:为词作搭档伯尼·陶平快速配曲、早期的丰富的高音(现在是中音),古典而又深受福音音乐影响的钢琴,编排微妙的弦乐伴奏、还有花样百出的服装和舞台技巧,尤其是上世纪70年代时期。约翰于1994年被列入摇滚名人堂,反过来说,这应该是摇滚名人堂的荣耀。   他在上世纪80年代后期深入到和艾滋病的斗争中,因此而在1998年被授勋:大英帝国二等勋爵。他于2005年12月21日与大卫·弗里西结婚,并且持续地作为同性恋社会运动的拥护者。2008年,《公告牌》杂志推选他为公告牌史上100名最热门艺人中的最成功男性个人艺术家,并在总排名中名列第三,仅仅在披头士和麦当娜之后。   Elton John纵横乐坛30年,获奖无数,作品多不胜举。据统计,这位超级巨星卖出的唱片总值目前已超过2.5亿,即将成为全球首位超过40张专辑达到金或白金唱片销量的歌星,载入“吉尼斯大全”。由此可见,他在乐坛受欢迎的程度和创作的出色作品之多,绝对是一个奇迹!这里先列举90年代的重大成就:   1994年,他为动画片《狮子王》(Lion King)作曲并演唱的原声唱片《Can You Feel the Love Tonight》家喻户晓,唱片销售了1000万张以上,歌曲本身还荣获了奥斯卡、金球奖、格莱美等多项大奖。   1995年推出的专辑《Made In England》在英国排行榜上名列第三, 在美国名列第13 。这张唱片售得白金唱片   1997年,为纪念因车祸不幸逝世的戴安娜王妃而推出的单曲唱片《Candle in the wind 97》的所有收入全部捐给戴安娜慈善基金会,表达了对戴妃的崇敬和哀悼之情。这张单曲唱片突破了3180万张的销量,传遍了全球,一举打破由 Bing Crosby的单曲 “White Christmas”(白色圣诞)所保持的3000万张销量的吉尼斯世界纪录。 Throughout his songs for The Road to El Dorado, Elton John hinted at his classic sound of the early '70s, but it's still a refreshing surprise to find him largely returning to that sound on his 2001 album, Songs From the West Coast. It was easy to think that John wasn't interested in writing like this anymore, given not just his continued success, but the ease with which he was crafting pleasant adult contemporary records. There are still elements of that on Songs From the West Coast -- a few of the ballads are a little too even-handed, and since this is a modern recording, it lacks the resonant warmth of such classics as Honky Chateau and Tumbleweed Connection. Still, this is the richest, best record he's released in a long time, an album where it feels like a hit single is secondary to the sheer pleasure of craft, whether it's crafting a song or an album. And this is an album that flows easily and naturally, setting the mood with the story sketch "The Emperor's New Clothes" and then heading in a number of scenic directions. Of these, "American Triangle," his elegy for Matthew Shepard, will likely receive the most attention, but the most interesting are songs like the bluesy "The Wasteland," "Ballad of the Boy in the Red Shoes," which recalls the Tumbleweed epics, the neo-Captain Fantastic tune "Dark Diamond," the soulful closer "This Train Don't Stop There Anymore," and "Birds," a terrific, spare, rolling country-rocker. His songwriting hasn't been this diverse or consistent since the early '80s, and he hasn't made a record better than this in years. No, Songs From the West Coast won't make you forget Tumbleweed Connection, but it often recalls those peaks, which, frankly, is enough. ~ Stephen Thomas Erlewine, All Music Guide
