Groovin’ – Jeff Bernat

菲律賓裔美國R&B歌手,
音樂曲風偏向 Contemporary R&B, Neo-Soul
聲音略帶沙啞,我喜歡他有點扁扁的聲音
很適合拿來跳舞的音樂。

推薦曲:Groovin’, Call You Mine.

Groovin’ by Jeff Bernat

pretty young thing doing that dance
please just take my hand
i just happen to pass by you
with a couple friends right by your table
maybe you’re able to share a tune with me
cause i have seen other ladies all throughout the night
and their mini skirts 4 inch heels talking to 10 guys
see i ain’t with that i just want to maybe kick back
and maybe we can chill as

we’ll take two steps left
and we’ll take two steps right
and we can snap our fingers
and just do it all night
you can groove with me as i groove with you
we’re just groovin together
in the middle of the dancefloor

lookin all fly in that dress
hands under the freshness
pretty young thing doing that dance
we just need to keep this golden shots of patron a kind of flowin
throughout my body and i’m feelin all good
maybe we should sit down for a minute and catch our breath
have a conversation while we’re at it and sit back
then i’d take your hand as we get back to what we do

we’ll take two steps left
and we’ll take two steps right
and we can snap our fingers
and just do it all night
you can groove with me as i groove with you
we’re just groovin together
in the middle of the dancefloor

two steps left
and we’ll take two steps right
and we can snap our fingers
and just do it all night
you can groove with me as i groove with you
we’re just groovin together
in the middle of the dancefloor

two to the left (the left)
two to the right (theright)
front and back and side by side
can i dance with you as you dance with me too
dj turn that music up so we can keep on groovin

we’ll take two steps left
and we’ll take two steps right
and we can snap our fingers
and just do it all night
you can groove with me as i groove with you
we’re just groovin together
in the middle of the dancefloor

two steps left
and we’ll take two steps right
and we can snap our fingers
and just do it all night
you can groove with me as i groove with you
we’re just groovin together
in the middle of the dancefloor

we can leave our friends

Open Your Eyes~ 來聽聽這些重新編曲的好音樂

老歌新唱,向來是唱片界最常用的招數
不過絕大多數處理的並不是很清新脫俗
充其量只是重新再唱過一次
印象中,幾個翻唱的歌曲,如:莫文蔚翻唱Close to You, Akon翻唱Mr.Lonely,
Lauryn Hill翻唱Can’t take my eyes off you…等
都有重新編曲,讓人耳目一新的感覺

今天和大家分享的這首Common – The Light
也是老歌新唱的經典,取樣於Bobby Caldwell – Open Your Eyes
再加上Erykah Badu溫柔的聲線
啊~太黯然!太銷魂了

原曲:Bobby Caldwell – Open Your Eyes

再來一位! Dwele – Open Your Eyes

Towa Tei / Happy feat. Bahamadia

towa-tei

我是從他和Kylie Minogue合作的Sometime Samurai 開始聽他的音樂
再加上他獨特的黑框大眼鏡加上從頭到腳,一貫深色的服裝
很難讓人不注意到他

Towa Tei 的音樂很多元,從Jungle、House、Funk到Ambient Music
輕快、舒服中帶些優雅
最適合讓我在趕稿的時候,得到暫時地心靈解放
( 哈哈! 好像把他說的跟神一樣)

我很喜歡簡單的拍子。
只要音樂好聽,管他是什麼類型,不是嗎?!

他有很多首音樂都很棒!當然MV也都很無厘頭
推薦給大家

Lauryn Hill – Doo Wop (that thing)

老嘻哈團體the fugee的主唱、同時也出現在電影《修女也瘋狂2》的 Lauryn Hill,
極具了音樂的天賦及外貌於一身,是我最喜歡的女歌手之一。

音樂主題圍繞在美國中下流階層黑人的世界,以學校點名為開頭,非常的有影響力,
背景的吉他聲宣告著這張完美R&B專輯的開始。
在某些歌曲的結尾,以巧妙地加入了老師和學生們之間的對話,
雖然對話都關於學生的愛情觀,但是我想除了一點點拍聽眾馬屁的意味外,
它表達了社會邊緣的這個族群(從來沒有人認真傾聽的學生,黑人學生),
在生活中佔了極小部分的這份和諧。

值得一聽再聽的好專輯 五顆星!!!

強力推薦

《Doo Wop (That Thing)》

Chorus one:
Girls you know you betta watch out
Some guys, some guys are only about
That thing, that thing, that thing
That thing, that thing, that thing

(admit two shots in the atmosphere)

It`s been three weeks since you were looking for your friend
The one you let hit it and never called you again
Member when he told you he was `bout the benjamins
You act like you ain`t here him then gave him a little trim
To begin how you think you really gon` pretend
Like you wasn`t down and you called him again
Plus when you give it up so easy you ain`t even foolin` him
If you did then you`d probably fuck him again
Talkin` out cha neck saying your a Christian
A Muslim sleepin` wit da gin
Now that was the sin that did Jezebell in
Who you gon` tell when the reprecussion spin
Showin` off your ass cause your thinkin` it`s a trend
Girlfriend, let me break it down for you again
You know I only say it cause i`m truely genuine
Don`t be a hard rock when you really are a gem
Baby girl the respect is just the minimum
Niggas fucked up and you still defendin` him
Now Lauryn is only human
Don`t think I haven`t been through the same predicament
Let it sit inside your head like a million women, in Philly, Penn.
It`s silly when girls sell their souls cause it`s in
Look at where you be in, hair weaves like Europeans
Fake nails done by Koreans, come again

(Yeah, Yeah) come again
(Yeah, Yeah) come again
My friend come again

Chorus two:
Guys you know you betta watch out
Some girls, some girls are only about
That thing, that thing, that thing
That thing, that thing, that thing

The second verse it dedicated to the men
More concerned concerned wit his rims & his Timbs than his women
Him and his men come in the club like hooligans
Don`t care who they offend, popping yang (like you got yen) ………
Let`s not pretend, the women pack the pistol by they waist men
Pissed out by they case men, still in they mother`s basement
The pretty face men claiming that they did a bid men
Need to take care of their three and four kids men
But they facing court case when the child support place
Money takin` and heart breakin,
Now you wonderin` why women hate men
The sneaky silent men, the punk domestic violence men
The quick to shoot the semen stop acting like boys and be men
How you gon` win when you ain`t right within
How you gon` win when you ain`t right within
How you gon` win when you ain`t right within
Uh Uh Come Again!
