You have to be a brain to be sexy
最近很喜欢把Shakira和Taylor Swift放在一起比较:难道不应该吗,这两个估计是流行乐坛里智商最高的两个女人了。而夏奇拉不仅拥有Taylor Swift 的才情和对生活小细节的热爱,还兼具拉丁女人的热情与忠诚。这也是这张专辑里她给我的第一印象:首先她是聪明的,其次她才是性感的。因为她的机敏,这些专辑里献给她爱人的情歌才不至于沦落为肉麻或怨妇("fool"除外);四处满溢的电吉他riff也不至于陷入俗套;而最重要的是让她的那些稀奇古怪的vocal技巧成为锦上添花的亮点而不是embarassment.
whenever wherever里的
“翻越安第斯山
只为数清你背上的雀斑
从未想过一千万种爱人的方式
用在你身上竟然还是不够"
和
“感谢我的嘴唇不仅可以呢喃
还能为你吐露万千个吻, 好像喷泉取之不竭
感谢我小而羞涩的乳房
你不至把它们错认成两座山峰”
在“Te Aviso, Te Anuncio”里警告自己的小男友:“探戈不是三人舞,你尽可以尝试,但你永远不要指望我,boy”;
而在另一首以常规如"you are the one I need"作为副歌的The one里,却意料之外地以一句"你是我每天早上刮腿毛的理由"作为开场;
而作为蔡依林“马德里不思议”的续篇,shakira在"Te Dejo Madrid"里做下决绝的告别:“I don't want cowards that will only make me suffer, It's better if I say goodbye to your anise flavored mouth."不同之处在于shakira唱有关西班牙城市的歌明显更加名正言顺一些;
而作为皇冠上的珍珠的"Underneath Your Clothes"则比U2的任何一首歌都要大气而深情:
"I love you more than all that's on the planet
Movin' talkin' walkin' breathing
You know it's true oh baby it's so funny
You almost don't believe it
As every voice is hanging from the silence
Lamps are hanging from the ceiling
Like a lady tied to her manners
I'm tied up to this feeling"
这种奔放又诗意又生活的情诗在今天这个俯拾皆是"empowerment""grabbing""swagger""slogan"的流行乐坛让我回想起做一个歌手原来是一件对生活如此需要热情的工作。而这或许正是你值得重听这张15年前专辑的原因。同样出自The One:
So I learned to cook
and finally lose my kitchen phobia
So I've got the arms to cuddle in
When there's a ghost or a muse
That brings insomnia
To buy more thongs
And write more happy songs
It always takes a little help from someone
