《Somebody Outside》是Anna Ternheim站上国际舞台的初次见面礼,此张一鸣惊人之作,获得瑞典当地如同葛莱美般重要的音乐盛会「最佳新人」奖,同时提名于「最佳女歌手」、「最佳作词人」、「最佳作曲人」等奖项。整张专辑几乎全出自Anna手笔,吉他简单伴奏下牵引出开场曲<To Be Gone>,搭配微微沙哑低沉嗓音,透出些许忧郁气氛;接着<Better Be>如位低吟走唱歌手般,随性却能带出内心悸动波荡,流畅音符温和了四周冰冷湿度;以Acoustic方式演绎之<I’ll Follow You Tonight>,无任何多余音频缀饰,散发最自然的聆听触感;如同<A Voice To Calm You Down>歌名所示,Anna的歌声不自觉让人心情沉淀下来,浮躁感被旋律带走冲逝,虽然只有十首歌曲,却可暂时与这喧嚣世界脱离,进入Anna无压的音乐世界中,让内心情感毫无拘束全然释放!
08年的第二张专辑《Halfway To Fivepoints》则是Anna Ternheim特别为"sychotic Lovers"所献上的新专辑,整张专辑基本贯彻了Nick Cave式的黑暗美学,它反映着爱情并不那么美好的阴暗面:自私,奴役,贪婪,冷酷……而当爱和各种各样由欲望主导的人性弱点纠缠在一起时,便注定会陷入令人绝 望的泥沼。与这样的主题相对应的,音乐上起用了比之前作更为细致的编排,虽然凝炼依旧,但仍可以感受到涌动的暗色华彩。
11月12日Anna Ternheim在瑞典发布了她的第三张录音室专辑“Leaving on a mayday” 这张专辑散发淡漠的冷觞和忧郁,清新的乐音中却有几抺灰暗的色调,标准专属北欧的indie pop气息。提琴在这张专辑现身的机率意外的多,带着东方味道浓厚的"Terrified" 令人印象深刻,暗涌的悸动随着 "What Have I Done" 的弦乐翻腾;"Black Sunday Afternoon" 冷调的吉他纠缠,简洁的旋律再清晰不过;到了"Summer Rain" 却又像冬日的阳光如此慢热。她的声音属于那种听过便很难忘怀的典型,冷静、低沉、美丽、带着沙沙的质感,像在心头打磨上一圈,便会留下隐隐的疼痛。-------以上文字转自网络。
2009 is Anna Ternheim’s year. Not only did she walk away from January’s Swedish Grammis with the award for Best Female Artist, but her domestically released album Leaving on a Mayday also scooped Album of the Year. Ternheim began writing songs at the tender age of ten, a process that was emboldened a year or two later when she learnt to play the guitar. Four albums and an armful of awards later, Anna has developed into an artist truly worth paying attention to. Her music is elegantly genre-defying, although it would be fair to say she draws predominantly from the pop and folk pantheons, with an emphasis on melancholy introspection.
Leaving on a Mayday was produced by Bjorn Yttling (of Peter, Bjorn, and John). The album is to be released in the US on August 11. (Wears the Trousers magazine)
