Stay With Me - Sam Smith
Unfavourable
“一个破碎的我如何挽救一个破碎的你”的cliche,cliche的点在于1.还记得will u still love tmr吗? 2.someone like you的前传.
北欧人(or欧洲人?)对于声墙的迷恋从来都是溢于言表的.每支装逼乐队必会翻唱girl group,无数wallofsound-ish production.唯一让人感到saving grace的是那一句oh-so-soulful的STAAAAAAY WITH ME的gospel和声,然而在这么稠密的制作氛围里也变得像黄梅天的雨一样让人透不过气.
当然啦,每个年代都有celine dion-figure,这不,all of me刚刚冠完嘛.

Problem - Ariana Grande Ft. Iggy Azalea
Favourable
开始我一直以为是Fantasy的hiphop vibe在work.直到我发现她那个"head in the clouds got no weight on my shoulders"是不是很gehtto version of Always be my baby.-----Ariana肯定至少听了130遍的daydream.Kidding: ) .Mariah留给后人的除了American Idol 救命稻草般的vocal还有这种Urban/RNB的成功模式.
我曾经说过Vocal系已经不会再出现了(Gretchin:"Well. You could be wrong!"nod.)的时候是因为看到了Adele.Ariana除了音色比较土/唱歌比较Patti LaBelle/嘴巴永远关不上以外还是挺不错的.
ugh....Iggy?是歌里说nindyprlmbutuwontbonelikewut的那团鼻涕吗?

Best Song Ever - One Direction
Mixed
先引用一段Mary Jane Shanghai:"我觉得One Direction is like Beatles of our generation,只是还没有到他们的St. pepper阶段."
well.somehow I agree with him arguably,not the beatles part,the"not St pepper yet"part.
for god's sake,我从来不觉得选秀歌手能被正经称为artist,而在现在这个艺术家都不一定是褒义词的时代,就更不能认真对待了.但是他们在还保留着Smell like teen spirit的时候,翻唱了幼儿园毕业歌曲般的"one way or another",和这首展现了大英帝国最低能幼稚sex appealing(ew forgive me for using this word)OH OH OH YEAH YEAH YEAH的...BEST SONG.....EVER?不得不说,虽然他们sucks.但是至少比起扛起英伦摇滚的装逼大队们是sincere多了.
P.S. Beatles was never a good looking band.One D? might b cute enough...might b.

嘻嘻

Rocket - Beyonce
Favourable
这张专辑让从4开始慢慢肯定Beyonce的我认为她成为了这个庸才/选秀时代最具有巨星才能的艺人
Beyonce是一张完美的专辑.确切地说是techniquly great
就算歌词已经Rock it till waterfall/do it like its my profession/And reach right into the bottom of my fountain/Bathe in these waterfalls
你仍然不会觉得她会有.....Aaliyah/Donna Summer那样真正"touching"的Sexuality的感染力
为什么?
因为她还是在以一个performer再向你展示自己的"不努力就去死"的能力
当然与其争论Beyonce是不是有足够的艺术气质不如好好享受这里所有lively的细节
从1+1之后突飞猛进的电吉他arrangment/ rihanna/shakira原始魅力般的drum set
p.s.一直会脑补Aaliyah如果能有这个档次的制作,能唱这首歌.

Boom Clap - Charli XCX
Mixed
早在I love it pop out之前奇异果弟弟已经给我听过XCX的东西,当时我只当成p-punk/synthpop之类的过家家的玩意没有很认真去注意.
直到她后来和icona chic们除了一首I love it
XCX是一个幸运(主流?)版的SkyFerreira.且不说后者现在还在时尚音乐傻傻分不清楚.
Boom/Clap/On and on and on肯定是比24 hours ur still mine要catchy的多了
同样是空间感很大的synth,空婊的制作氛围明显更宏大一些,而且空婊更punk-ish
而XCX就跟一众英国妞一样的PLASTIC质感分分钟就露馅了
所以这是流行化的弊端吗?
还是只是因为空婊没拿到好资源.
BTW I HATE IGGY

Out of the woods - Taylor Swift
Favourable
"u took a polaroid /////we r strange color" "you moved the furniture so we can dance"这样的taylor-ish 细节描写依然touching n popping
这首歌Brilliance的地方在于 writing和producing对歌曲的压缩
卡带intro +主歌给够线索之后 直接跳入out of the woods的brainwashingstorm
省去了以往的storyline的blahblahblah 转化为有效的pop machine模式
做了这么多年"才女figure"的taylor对pop song writing也是手到擒来的
and again that"you moved the furniture so we can dance"is so beautiful I would cry
