一直对黑人音乐持有好感
某一次很偶然的机会听到了Brian Mcknight的歌声,瞬间被他极赋魅力的磁性嗓音给吸引住了。
于是一发不可收拾地听他的每一张专辑,这里简单介绍几首最经典的,大家若觉得好,就去百度搜一下~
McKnight, Brian 1969年6月5日出生于美国纽约州的布法罗。Brian McKnight的哥哥Claude V. McKnight是福音音乐组Take 6的成员,Brian McKnight则是一名蓝调音乐歌手,他首先在布法罗及周围的地区开始了他的音乐生涯,他和自己的乐队一起在那里表演一些他自创的作品。他的表演引起了Mercury Records唱片公司的注意,他在这家唱片公司录制了他的第一个自己命名的个人专辑,尽管这张唱片收到的利润回报一般,但这张唱片进入了美国蓝调音乐专辑排行榜的前20名。该唱片中收录的《Love Is》取自电视连续剧《Beverly Hills, 90210》,是与Vanessa Williams合作的二重唱,这首歌闯入了流行歌曲的排行榜,并在1993年5月份上升到了第3名。另外一支单曲《One Last Cry》也在当年上升到了排行榜的第13位。他的第二张唱片《I Remember You》卖出了50多万张,其中有5首单曲进入了蓝调歌曲排行榜的前20名。
他在歌坛的声望和地位确立之后,Mercury唱片公司决定不再延误,及时推出他的第三张专辑《Anytime》。这张专辑的制作过程中也不乏一些颇为响亮的名字,如Sean 'Puffy' Combs(制作人)、Ma$e(说唱表演)以及Mary J. Blige和Diane Warren(词曲作者)。这张唱片中首先值得一提的是在美国歌曲排行榜上排在第17位的《'You Should Be Mine (Don't Waste Your Time)》,这首歌由Ma$e演唱,目的是为了把希普霍普音乐的听众的注意力吸引到McKnight的作品上来,扩大他的歌迷阵容。然而这首单曲并不能代表这张唱片中的大部分内容,这张唱片中大部分还是较为成熟的蓝调音乐和浪漫的民谣,这些才是McKnight才能的真正体现。《Anytime》的推出也收到很好的回报,这张唱片进入了排行榜的前20名。McKnight后来转向与Motown唱片公司合作录制他的圣诞节专辑《Bethlehem》。接着推出的专辑《Back At One》获得了极大的成功,标题曲在美国热门歌曲100首中连续几周排在第2位。
Back at One(Brian Mcknight最具代表性的作品)
It's undeniable that we should be together
It's unbelievable, how I use to say that I'd fall never
The basis is need to know
If you don't know just how I feel
Then let me show you now that I'm for real
If all things in time, time will i reveal
yeah
one,You're like a dream come true
two, just wanna be with you
three, girl it's plain to see that you're the only one for me
four, repeat steps one tru three
five, make you fall in love with me
if ever I believe my work is done
Then I'll start back at one
yeah
It's so incredible, the way things work themselves out
And all emotional, once you know what it's all about, eh
And Undesirable, for us to be apart
I never would have made it very far
Cause you know you've got the keys to my heart
one,You're like a dream come true
two, just wanna be with you
three, girl it's plain to see that you're the only one for me
four, repeat steps one tru three
five, make you fall in love with me
if ever I believe my work is done
Then I'll start back at one
yeah
Say farewell to the darkened night
I see the coming of the sun
I feel like a little child,
Whose life has just begun.
You came and breathed new life into this lonely heart of mine
You threw out the life line
Just in the nick of time
one,You're like a dream come true
two, just wanna be with you
three, girl it's plain to see that you're the only one for me
four, repeat steps one tru three
five, make you fall in love with me
if ever I believe my work is done
Then I'll start back at one
yeah
Anytime(最后一句I miss you很深情~)
I can't remember why we fell apart
From something that was so meant to be.
Forever was the promise in our hearts.
Now more and more, I wonder where you are.
Chorus:
Do I ever cross your mind anytime?
Do you ever wake up reachin out for me?
Do I ever cross your mind anytime?
I miss you...
verse 2:
Still have your picture in a frame.
Hear your footsteps down the hall.
I swear, I hear your voice driving me insane.
How I wish that you would call to say
Do I ever cross your mind anytime?
Do you ever wake up reachin out for me?
Do I ever cross your mind anytime?
I miss you...
Bridge:
(Oh, no more)
Loneliness and heartache.
(No more)
Cryin myself to sleep
(Oh, no more)
Wondering about tomorrow,
Won't you come back to me, come back to me.
(Oh)
Do I ever cross your mind anytime?
Do you ever wake up reachin out for me?
Do I ever cross your mind anytime?
I miss you...
I miss you....I miss you...
Do I ever cross your mind anytime?
Do you ever wake up reachin out for me?
Do I ever cross your mind anytime?
I miss you...
Everytime We Say Goodbye
Could it be
That I can't stand to be alone
This long distance has us living on the phone
Ever since you've been away
I just can't get through a day
Girl, I just can't wait to have you here at home
Oh baby, everytime
Chorus:
Everytime, we say goodbye, boo
I don't want you to go
Everytime, we say goodbye, boo
I don't want you to go
Sometimes I only get to see you for a day
If that's all I can get then
That's what I'll take
'Cause soon I know the day will come
When you and I will be as one
But right now this thing gets so hard
For me to say
Oh baby, everytime
Chorus
Hey, can we make love just one more time
You feel forever, this is our last and final try
Goodbye, goodbye
Chorus out
以上三首是我常听的,下面要隆重推出的就是我最最最最最最爱的So Sorry
这首歌很适合男生去挽留即将分手的女生的~
每次听都被那种迷人的声线和真挚的情感所吸引~
For everytime you had go to sleep alone
For everytime I tried to rush you off the phone
For everytime I said something to make you cry
Now that all is said and done I cant deny
Im so sorry
For anything I might have done
And Im sorry
I never meant to hurt the only one
And Im sorry
That best laid plans sometimes fall through
For anything I might have done I apologize to you
For anything I might have done I apologize to you
For everytime I lied right to your face
And you knew it
For all the wasted time that we cannot replace
For everytime a discussion turned into an argument wed fight
How I wish that I could have it back tonight
Im so sorry
For anything I might have done
And Im sorry
I never meant to hurt the only one
And Im sorry
The best laid plans sometimes fall through
For anything I might have done I apologize to you
For anything I might have done I apologize to you
To try and count your tears would be like standing in the rain
The weathers been bad for years for that Ill gladly take the blame
Now our two separate lives will never ever be the same
But I hope that you can forgive someday
Im so sorry
For anything I might have done
And Im sorry
I never meant to hurt the only one
And Im sorry
That the best laid plans sometimes fall through
For anything I might have done I apologize to you
For anything I might have done I apologize to you
