Backstreet Boys is back!
(MTV)Like a lot of smart popsters on the rebound1, the reunited fab five broach2 their return by borrowing from the current hit makers3. Even after a four-year hiatus, the flecks4 of new influence won't matter a bit to the fans. The boys' signature sugar-coated yearning5 softens6 every song to a melty consistency7, and the lyrics8 haven't lost any of their babe-magnet pull.
Incomplete
Backstreet Boys
Empty spaces fill me up with holes
Distant faces with no place left to go
Without you within me I can't find no rest
Where I'm going is anybody's guess
I've tried to go on like I never knew you
I'm awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I'm going to be is incomplete
Voices tell me I should carry on
But I am swimming in an ocean all alone
Baby, my baby
It's written on your face
You still wonder if we made a big mistake
I've tried to go on like I never knew you
I'm awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I'm going to be is incomplete
I don't mean to drag it on, but I can't seem to let you go
I don't wanna make you face this world alone
I wanna let you go (alone)
I've tried to go on like I never knew you
I'm awake but my world is half asleep
I pray for this heart to be unbroken
But without you all I'm going to be is incomplete
创下全球7500万专辑销售、史上最畅销流行团体Backstreet Boys生涯最强劲专辑回归歌坛!Backstreet Boys毫无疑问是流行乐史最成功的团体之一,他们在全世界创下7500万张销售佳绩,专辑《Millennium》成为美国告示排杂志91年采用SoundScan系统来第一个首周破百万的艺人,而之后的《Black and Blue》同样一推出就继续创下单周百万佳绩,而《Backstreet Boys》和《Millennium》也获美国唱片工业协会销售千万的“钻石唱片”殊荣,难以计数的音乐奖项、突破极限的音乐影带和一场场卖座的全球巡演,让Backstreet Boys写下前所未有的“Backstreet Boys神话”,引爆90年代末期的偶像狂热,Backstreet Boys完全称霸世纪替换时的流行歌坛,他们呼风唤雨,甚至变成一种文化现象。
睽违歌坛近五年,Backstreet Boys推出第五张专辑《Never Gone》,尼克、布莱恩、AJ、霍伊、凯文五人再度灵活地在完美合声和大器抒情歌中,展现他们最浑然天成的声音特色,而充满多种风格的新专辑还加入大量现场演奏的乐器,五位团员使出浑身解数全心投入,除了参与创作外,在音乐上,凯文演奏钢琴,尼克弹奏吉他,让《Never Gone》有绝对资格成为Backstreet Boys出道至今最成熟、最音乐性作品,“我们做了许多不同尝试”AJ说,“我们在音乐上不会自我设限。”特别是这五年来他们各自分离拥有不同的人生经验后的重新出发,专辑12首歌曲诉说的故事特别打动人心。
《Never Gone》持续Backstreet Boys从2000年专辑《Black and Blue》在艺术上的成长和音乐上的进步,Backstreet Boys找来当今歌坛最大牌的制作人和歌曲创作者打造这张将成为他们最受人推崇的新作,整张专辑一气呵成,从流行、成人抒情、Urban R&B、轻摇滚到加上一些modern rock味的作品没有冷场。首支中版抒情单曲Incomplete由Dan Muckala制作,融合了灵魂流行曲调和他们完美合声,一推出就获得“最多电台点播的新曲”头衔,也是今年单周播放成长率第二高的热门歌曲,音乐录影带则再度找来布兰妮Toxic经典MV的大导演Joseph Khan,果然造成轰动。轻快的Just Want You To Know可听出Backstreet Boys默契不减、层次分明的唱功,热情的感觉叫人窝心,Crawling Back To You有一种清新的摇滚质量,势必成为他们最新的爱情国歌,Weird World则有Five For Fighting制作人出马,展现前所未有的清新感觉,又是专辑中一首必杀作品,而当Poster Girl这首节奏十足又轻快的歌一出场,也会让人不禁手舞足蹈起来。而其他的作品也绝不会辜负歌迷等待的苦心,因为包括葛莱美奖年度制作人John Shanks、Billy Mann与一手打造布兰妮、超级男孩、席林狄翁的超级制作人Max Martin,还有雪儿、安立奎的名制作Mark Taylor等都在《Never Gone》阵容中。而对于团员历经官司、勒戒、失恋、被捕等灾难后,Backstreet Boys走出人生低潮,专心在音乐上前进,也难怪滚石杂志以“一场让人惊喜的回归”形容男孩们的努力。
听完这张全新作品,也许预言他们会再登峰造极为之过早,但最让人意外的却是12首歌曲的诚恳和好听度,成熟也fresh,几乎让人忘了过去Backstreet Boys一堆脍炙人口的经典,将近五年的等待是值得的。
