专辑回顾- “If Everyone Was Listening”
美好的时刻 “If Everyone Was Listening” -2014
If you’re looking for a lovely way to spend just shy of an hour, you could do a lot worse than put on If Everyone Was Listening. It has more of the Country influence via Jace Everett’s ‘Bad Things’, Jake Owen’s ‘What We Ain’t Got’ and Lady Antebellum’s classic ‘Need You Now’.
There is a contemporary upbeat effort in Sugarland’s ‘Stuck Like Glue’ juxtaposed with 70s Rock such as the Supertramp penned title track and Bob Seger’s ‘Still The Same’. John Martyn’s ‘May You Never’ is another real standout cut, as is Alison Krauss’ ‘Simple Love’, while the superb arrangement on ‘Jessie’ sees Michael overlaying his own harmony vocals to great effect.
On paper, including a Miley Cyrus song shouldn’t work but ‘The Climb’ sounds right at home here. The mix of old and new material works wonderfully, all held together by Michael’s flawless singing.
如果你想度过近一小时的美好时光，那么你可以选择播放《If Everyone Was Listening》，这绝对是一个不错的选择。这张专辑更多地受到了乡村音乐的影响，包括Jace Everett的《Bad Things》，Jake Owen的《What We Ain’t Got》和Lady Antebellum的经典曲目《Need You Now》。
专辑中有一首现代的欢快歌曲《Stuck Like Glue》（Sugarland演唱），与Supertramp创作的同名曲目以及Bob Seger的《Still The Same》等70年代摇滚歌曲形成对比。John Martyn的《May You Never》和Alison Krauss的《Simple Love》也都是非常出色的曲目，而在《Jessie》上的出色编曲让迈克尔将自己的和声唱得极为出色。
从理论上讲，包括一首麦莉·赛勒斯（Miley Cyrus）的歌曲似乎不太合适，但《The Climb》在这里听起来非常合适。新旧歌曲的混合效果非常出色，而迈克尔无懈可击的歌唱将它们都紧密地连接在一起。
