Diana-Diana Ross专辑介绍
Coming off four Top Ten hits in three years for their group Chic, producers Bernard Edwards and Nile Rodgers were the hot R&B/disco team of the day when they wrote and produced Diana Ross' second album named simply diana. (The first was her 1971 TV soundtrack, Diana!.) The result was Ross' best-selling album ever, paced by her biggest singles hit yet, "Upside Down," and its Top Ten follow-up, "I'm Coming Out." For the most part, disco productions tended to emphasize the beat over the voice, and it might be argued, but for the billing, Ross had been reduced to guest vocalist on her own album. But it was exactly her struggle to retain an identity beyond the groove that made this music more compelling than Chic's records. diana marked an important comeback for Ross, who had struggled in the late '70s after the early successes of her solo career. She celebrated by leaving Motown for a six-year, five-album sojourn at RCA.
Diana-Diana Ross热门评论
1980年5月 36岁的美国黑人天后Diana Ross发行第二张以姓名〔Diana〕为名的专辑,邀来当时热门Disco团体‘Chic’的两名领导团员Nile Rogers与Bernard Edwards制作,走R&B/Soul/Disco/Funk曲风,她以俐落的短发造型示众。登上美国专辑榜亚军,白金唱片,全球热卖1000W张,成为Ross个人事业最畅销的专辑
〔Diana〕也是Ross在Motown唱片最后一张专辑,之后她便以2000万美元──当时唱片界史上最高签约金,跳槽到RCA唱片公司旗下。本张也是制作人Nile Rogers与Bernard Edwards首次与大明星成功的合作,让两位成为著名制作人,后来得与Madonna、David Bowie、Duran Duran等巨星合作。
Ross最Iconic、最悦耳、艺术性最佳的一张。 Bernard Edwards的Bassline构成核心骨架, 几乎每首歌都通过切分与反复的固定ostinato建立律动。Nile Rodgers的吉他则发挥了标志性作用——紧凑的音符切分、短促的和弦拨弦,既与鼓点精准配合, 也为各曲空间留下极大余地。紧凑的groove让整张专辑的声音趋于高雅、冷峻, 与当时流行的弦乐和饱和混响形成鲜明对比。 Ross的声线在这样的框架下呈现出新的功能性。她没有依赖爆发力或大段高音, 而是通过轻巧的咬字、极具辨识度的气声处理, 让人声与节奏网络形成对位。比如《Upside Down》中她的声音几乎像一件额外乐器:短促重复的旋律、下滑音和即兴, 都在与器乐进行动态呼应。 《Tenderness》以稀疏的键盘和轻微打击乐,让其中低声区更具亲密感。她在副歌部分用细腻vibrato将一首中速舞曲演绎出叙事性。与之形成对比的《My Old Piano》(也是我个人的全专最爱), 则采用更放松的律动感:明亮的电钢琴与活泼的节奏构成Retro-Pop语境(不过以专辑的发布时间应该不需要划分进retro)Ross的演唱带着playful的特质。内外对照展现了她在声线运用上的弹性, 因此我不同意当代很多听众说她“嗓音条件差”。 这专中完全脱离了Motown传统的管弦乐化orchestrated soul, 进入更偏向Urban/Disco-Funk的体系。同时这张专辑也让Chic制作二人组的美学在主流市场达到顶峰, 声势如同1998年给Brandy做出二专《Never Say Never》的Darkchild。极简的律动结构、精准的编曲管理、在随后十年影响了Janet Jackson/Jam & Lewis的律动体系, 甚至给Madonna首专提供了蓝本。《I'm Coming Out》后来更被少数社群采纳为自我表达的文化符号。
