愛阿妹那麼多年,很少浮上檯面po文。既然這次有機會去參加試聽會,簡單
談一下聽完整張專輯的「第一印象」(既然是第一印象,就有可能改變,也
可能不太準,畢竟有些好歌是聽過好幾遍才會跳出來的,請大家多包涵)。
◎票選
開門見山。我最後票選的前三名是「這樣你還要愛我嗎」、「跳進來」、「
三月」(第三名其實跟很多首都難分軒輊)。
與同行朋友比對一下,同樣也是資深妹迷的A朋友,前三名是「都對也都錯」
、「自虐」與「狗」(跟我也差太多XD)。
其他兩位朋友,B的前三名是「這樣你還要愛我嗎」、「三月」、「都對也都
錯」,C的前三名則是「飛高高」、「這樣你還要愛我嗎」、「都對也都錯」
。
◎聽歌
接下來,進入正題。與同行朋友聽完後有幾點共識,一、阿妹聲音狀況也太
好;二、這張也太「阿密特」;三、那麼難唱是要逼死誰。
情歌部分。首先,若你抱著「我要聽朗朗上口的阿妹情歌」,這次可能要失
望了。個人的看法是,從上一張「你在看我嗎」開始,阿妹嘗試丟棄市場包
袱,這張新專輯給人同樣之感,即便是情歌,也不是那種芭樂、灑狗血式的
情歌,而是直白敘述阿妹心境;上張專輯還有種成熟小女人的呢喃,而這張
專輯展現的多是女人的直白、率性及不委屈,曲式上更相當「刁鑽」。
這次情歌偏中板,不少編曲都有搖滾味;我特別喜歡阿妹在這張專輯的情歌
聲線,非常厚實、清亮,而非只是點到為止的假音。尤其「這樣你還要愛我
嗎」,情緒起伏表現得非常好,直白的歌詞對著情人喊話「敲碎我吧!」,
歌曲末段的高亢吟唱更是本專輯令我最印象深刻的「表演」,非常精采!!
!強烈推薦必拍MV之歌。
「自虐」則是由陳鎮川執筆的「自言自語」歌,整首歌最大記憶點在於不斷
重複跳針那句「Love, Good Night」,有種阿妹對自己說話,自我療傷的歌
曲。這首小品,應該是整張專輯相較下比較「平易近人」的歌曲。
「偏執面」歌末段RAP一聽就是蛋堡的聲音,個人認為這首非常「阿密特」,
不管聲音情緒或是編曲都是。但周圍的朋友評價似乎兩極。至於已經曝光的
「都對也都錯」、「三月」就不談了,交由各位妹迷自行評賞。
快歌部分,堪稱是「嘻哈電音風」。其中,「跳進來」、「飛高高」及「狗
」都令人印象深刻。
「跳進來」的副歌很抓耳,相當洗腦,我個人很愛。「飛高高」整首歌都充
滿性暗示(應該已經是明示了 XD),曲風、唱腔都很吸引人,有點復古的
fu。「狗」的歌詞很有創意,透過動物的視角來談第三者。
「前進烏托邦」是大歌,編曲讓我一直聯想到coldplay的every teardrop
is a waterfall。「Booty Call」則是令我較無感的歌。
◎結論
身為資深天后,阿妹的挑戰其實非常艱難,一方面,必須抓住「流行」的口
味,滿足市場對她的期待,另一方面,她又必須與時俱進,透過每張新專輯
挑戰自我,並告訴歌迷/大眾她的成長,以及她對音樂的品味。質感與市場
如何兼顧?其實並不那麼容易。
以這張專輯為例,其實可以看出阿妹一再挑戰攀峰的決心;但老實說,一些
較冷僻或較不平易近人的曲式,也的確讓不少看過阿妹獨霸市場的歌迷們私
下都「捏了一把冷汗」。
聽歌當下,我一直在想一件事。其實,單憑阿妹的歌唱實力,她可以好好打
安全牌,唱唱那些朗朗上口的情歌,讓每張專輯聽起來都「差不多」,說得
好聽是「維持風格」,但恕我直言,新意及挑戰又在哪?
阿妹,顯然不滿足於複製過去的成功經驗。不管是張惠妹或阿密特,你可以
從她演繹歌曲、選歌、編曲及曲風的改變、微調,聽出她的進步及嘗試。嘗
試當然有風險,也可能會失敗。但我喜歡這樣求新求變的阿妹。
那個曾經創造過無數經典情歌與嗨歌的張惠妹已是過去式;套句阿妹所言「
都什麼時候了」,只有不斷挑戰、嘗試、往前走,「做自己的阿妹」,才有
可能前進下一個階段的音樂烏托邦。或許,阿妹也想透過這張新專輯問問那
些新的、舊的歌迷們:「這樣你還要愛我嗎?」
PS.從高中至今,我仍私心期盼著阿妹做一張卑南族的母語流行專輯。
