自從收到iPod之後,到目前為止,我的iPod裡頭最常播放的歌單依序是:

1. Guns N' Roses於2004年發行的《Greatest Hits》精選輯
2. Daughtry的同名專輯
3. 大熊偷偷塞在試聽CD裡頭,讓我聽了愛不釋耳大感滿足的KT Tunstall

出生於蘇格蘭愛丁堡的KT Tunstall,母親為中國人,擁有一半的中國血統,黑色的長髮使她的外表顯得很有東方味,雖然並不是長相非常漂亮的女生,但是一站上舞台開始唱歌,個人魅力便源源不絕傾洩而出,好的歌手都應該有這樣的架勢和特質,讓人聽過一次便能在腦子裡烙下鮮明的印象。

我很喜歡聽KT Tunstall清亮中帶點粗啞的特殊嗓音,吉他一刷,塞著iPod白色耳機的耳朵和身體便開始晃動,跟著搖滾起來。

有音樂評論形容KT Tunstall的風格像是Dido和Norah Jones的融合,仔細一聽,還真有點相似,尤其是收錄在首張專輯《Eye To The Telescope》的〈Heal Over〉,只要再稍微慵懶再軟調一點,壓根就是Norah Jones的翻版了,相當有意思。

大熊塞給我兩張KT的專輯,分別是2005首度發行的處女作《Eye To The Telescope》、和今年才推出的《Drastic Fantastic》,雖然後者也相當不錯,但我最愛的還是專輯內首首讚絕的《Eye To The Telescope》。

仔細看看她的歌詞,感性溫暖又真實噢。


【KT Tunstall / Black Horse & A Cherry Tree】



Well my heart knows me better than I know myself
So i'm gonna let it do all the talking
I came across a place in the middle of nowhere
With a big black horse and a cherry tree
I fell in fear, upon my back
I said don't look back, just keep on walking
When the big black horse that looked this way
Said hey lady, will you marry me?

非常輕快俏皮的歌曲,我覺得很能表現出KT嗓音的特色和爆發力,以及她迷人的舞台魅力,她天生就是應該站上舞台的人。


【KT Tunstall / Other Side Of The World】



Then the fire fades away
But most of everyday
Is full of tired excuses
But it's too hard to say
I wish it were simple
But we give up easily
You're close enough to see that
You're.... the other side of the world

《Eye To The Telescope》專輯主打歌,深情而悲傷,你在世界的另一端,是否仍依然愛我呢?


【KT Tunstall / Suddenly I See】



I feel like walking the world
Like walking the world
You can hear she's a beautiful girl
She's a beautiful girl
She fills up every corner like she's born in black and white
Makes you feel warmer when you're trying to remember
What you heard
She likes to leave you hanging on a word

走吧,暫時告別愛情,一起去旅行!出發!


【KT Tunstall / Heal over】



And I don't wanna hear you tell yourself
That these feelings are in the past
You know it doesn't mean they're off the shelf
Because pain's built to last
Everybody sails alone
But we can travel side by side
Even if you fail
You know that no one really minds
Come over here lady

在Youtube搜尋很久,只有這支Viedo的音質還OK,恰好我也是CSI迷,所以...。不過其實我偏愛的是另一位女主角Cathrine Willows,韻味十足的熟女(*shy*)。

如何,是不是有點Norah Jones的影子呢?
