Lana Del Rey - Born to Die B* ["Blue Jeans", "Born to Die"] "Her voice is as weird as Beth Gibbons, but that's OK because so are we." 每个人都有一种“我就是摇滚明星,我的声音就是能诠释一切,旁人就是不可能理解我”的潜意识,而我甚是庆幸的是在她身上这唯一的“真实感”没被Adele式中年妇女意识毁掉。
The Police - Every Breath You Take: The Singles A- ["Roxanne", "Spirits in the Material World"] 用Bassline制造时尚感和Power Pop式都市感的专业户(事实上The Fame也有受其影响),而Bassline又正好可以在大多数时间里掩盖主唱略显抱歉的,模仿Paul McCartney而不得的声音。他们在80年代新浪潮大潮里肯定不是最好的乐队,但在情绪感染力上却未必。
Frank Ocean - Nostalgia, Ultra A ["Lovecrimes", "Swim Good"] Marianne Faithfull - Broken English A- ["Broken English", "The Ballad of Lucy Jordan"] 她的专辑除了Easy Come Easy Go听起来都像在玩票,不过明显是漠然冷艳的那种类型。
