Dia Frampton - Red第一耳听到  Dia Frampton 的声音的时候,还以为是听到了 Cathy Dennis不信你仔细听听,就会发现有似曾相识的感觉。很奇特,一个 80 后的嗓子听起来有那么一点像是一个早已名不见经传的 60 后。不管这些了,总之,这感觉很奇妙。

今天推荐这首 Don’t Kick The Chair 是专辑中的第一首歌,很是入耳,不过说实话:专辑中的其它歌曲就乏善可陈了,不像 Cathy Dennis 那样好歌不少。不过你如果喜欢这个调调,不妨找来整张专辑听一下。

以下是网上的简介,来自 VeryCD,他们也没说出处是哪里,我就指回它那里去好了:

Dia 出生于 1987 年 10 月 3 号,她的父亲是韩国的 DJ,而母亲则是一名荷兰人,Dia 还有一位姐姐叫 Meg Frampton,她们两姐妹也成立了一个组合叫做 Meg & Dia(发行过两张唱片,不过很快就被华纳解约),在组合中,Dia 担任主唱和键盘手。2005 年,她们为了音乐事业放弃了大学而来到盐湖城继续她们的音乐梦想。

2011 年,在美国选秀节目 The Voice 的首场淘汰赛电视直播中,Dia的一首翻唱自 Kanye West 的歌曲 Heartless 拨动了电视机前数以百万计观众的心弦,她以自己柔美的中低音以及对歌曲独一无二的理解在习惯了快节奏音乐的美国乐坛唱响了一曲清新、幽美的 Dia 旋律。同年 6 月 29 日,在 The Voice 决赛首度亮相的原创新单 Inventing Shadows 仅耗时 2 小时便打破了 Lady GaGa 此前创造的 iTunes 下载榜 3 小时登顶的记录。

首张专辑结合民谣与独立流行,编曲大量运用钢琴和不插电吉他,呈现出一幅阳光复古的小清新风,异常好听。

[Dia Frampton - Verse 1]
Have you ever felt like everybody’s watching
Waiting for you to lose
Have you ever felt like you’re living in a spot light
Searching for the real you
Tell me have you ever woken up
Just to wish you could close your eyes
Getting hard to find a friend in a city like this
Where you can’t even trust a smile

There are lonely nights when you see no hope
And you’re feeling short of breathe
Like a whole damn world is a braded rope
In a noose surround your neck

[Chorus]
Don’t kick the chair
It’s gonna get better
Don’t kick the chair
It can only get better

[Dia Frampton - Verse 2]
Have you ever felt love, really really felt love
The kind I could save a life
But right before you know it you find out in a moment
You’re gonna have to say goodbye

There are lonely nights when you see no hope

And you’re feeling short of breathe
Like a whole damn world is a braded rope
In a noose surround your neck

[Chorus]
Don’t kick the chair
It’s gonna get better
Don’t kick the chair
It can only get better

[Kid Cudi]
Yep yep you know
If I can make it through then you can to
Yep yep I’m good focus like always
Feels like I’ve been hit hit by ten brick walls
Some people like you just sit sit and wait for you to fall
Then bound back way quicker than you fell down
Laugh in their face like what
See nothing can break me
No no no no listen
If you gotta think twice about life
Some really ain’t right
You don’t need no help
You could be better all by yourself
You could be better all by yourself
You could be better all by yourself yeah
You could be better all by yourself ooh

[Chorus]
Don’t kick the chair
It’s gonna get better
Don’t kick the chair
It can only get better

Don’t kick the chair
It’s gonna get better
Don’t kick the chair
It can only get better
