专辑回顾- “Heroes”
致敬音乐偶像的出色专辑 “Heroes” -2011
As you’d expect from the title, Heroes is, as Michael explained in the sleeve notes, “the album I’ve wanted to make for some time – it salutes/honours some of my all-time musical heroes”. As a result there are so many fine choices to enjoy here, spanning favourites like the Tom Jones anthem ‘I’ll Never Fall In Love Again’, Elvis Presley’s ‘I Can’t Help Falling In Love With You’, Billy Joel’s ‘New York State Of Mind’, Frank Sinatra’s ‘Summer Wind’ and Neil Diamond’s ‘Play Me’.
These sit alongside marvellous renditions of Long John Baldry’s ‘Let The Heartaches Begin’ and Scott Walker’s ‘Joanna’. Arrangement wise, Michael doesn’t stray too obviously from what went before, but the production and work the musicians put in still make this sound very much like a Michael Ball album. Also, the closing duet of ‘Avenues And Alleyways’ with Tony Christie is absolutely superb.
正如你从标题中所期望的那样，以及迈克尔在专辑内页说明中所解释的那样，“Heroes”是他“想制作已经有一段时间的专辑——向他一直以来的音乐偶像致敬”。因此，在这里有许多出色的选择，包括汤姆·琼斯的代表曲《I’ll Never Fall In Love Again》、埃尔维斯·普雷斯利的《I Can’t Help Falling In Love With You》、比利·乔尔的《New York State Of Mind》、弗兰克·辛纳屈的《Summer Wind》和尼尔·戴蒙德的《Play Me》。
这些歌曲与对朗·约翰·鲍德里的《Let The Heartaches Begin》和斯科特·沃克的《Joanna》的精彩演绎并驾齐驱。在编曲方面，迈克尔并没有明显偏离以往的风格，但制作和音乐家的工作仍然让这张专辑听起来非常像一张迈克尔·鲍尔的专辑。此外，与托尼·克里斯蒂（Tony Christie）合唱的结尾曲《Avenues And Alleyways》绝对出色。
