专辑回顾- “A Love Story”
新概念唱片 “A Love Story” -2003
A Love Story saw Michael try his hand at a concept record approach, choosing cover songs to tell the story of a love affair from start to finish. The idea is excellent and you can see how it maps out, starting with ‘You Had Me From Hello’, to ‘This Guy’s In Love With You’. Halfway through the album the mood alters with ‘You’ve Changed’, ‘What Makes You Stay’ and the powerhouse ‘God Give Me Strength’, ending with the vibe of ‘I Wish You Love’ and ‘I Wish I Were In Love Again’.
The finale ‘Me And My Shadow’ with Antonio Banderas is a great pick-me-up however. While a good record, Michael felt his voice hadn’t fully recovered from the previous tour when it came to recording and he performed a curtailed version of this “love affair” on the Live In London DVD, where you can make the case that the condensed, live version is superior to the album.
在《A Love Story》专辑中，迈克尔尝试了一种概念唱片的方法，他选择用翻唱歌曲来讲述一段从开始到结束的恋爱故事。这个想法非常出色，你可以看出它的发展轨迹，从《You Had Me From Hello》开始，一直到《This Guy’s In Love With You》。专辑的中途，氛围发生变化，出现了《You’ve Changed》、《What Makes You Stay》以及强大的《God Give Me Strength》，最后以《I Wish You Love》和《I Wish I Were In Love Again》的氛围结束。
最后的《Me And My Shadow》与安东尼奥·班德拉斯（Antonio Banderas）的合唱是一个令人振奋的选择。尽管这是一张不错的专辑，但迈克尔感到他的声音在录制时尚未完全恢复，因此在《Live In London》DVD上，他表演了这个”恋爱故事”的精简版本。可以说，这个精简的现场版本要优于专辑版本。
