星島日報 : 從不故步自封的天后

回音地帶 | By 劉存孝

由上世紀八十年代起,一直用心做音樂,唱到今時今日,水準依然極高,更不愛食老本兼交行貨,仍在不斷嘗試新音樂類型的一位歌手,我只想起林憶蓮。有聽過她的新歌《無言歌》嗎?人比人沒意思,但我真心覺得現在的林憶蓮已超越了王菲!  
愛突破自己,非每個歌手會做而又做得到的事,早於一九八八年,林憶蓮以《Ready》專輯告訴我們,她從不故步自封。
話說一九八七年,林憶蓮的一頭「長曲爆」激情髮型,已成功為她擺脫《愛情I Don't Know》的儍大姐形象,但一年後,她決意將成熟味再推高一個層次,大膽將長髮剪短,配合一臉濃妝,演繹聽到人血脈沸騰的《滴汗》,形神聲都充滿女人味,更重要是散發出一股獨有的氣質。我記得這首歌的MV,的確「走得很前」,Set靚頭、化靚妝的憶蓮,竟然玩跳彈牀,印象真的很深!此專輯有首嚴重被忽視的好歌叫《黃昏》,倫永亮作曲、潘源良寫詞,資深憶蓮迷視它為《早晨》續集。
正當大家都以為憶蓮會繼續探討情與欲之際,下一張碟正是《都市觸覺的Part One》,又是一次非常成功的突破!

Sandy is better than Faye Wong all this time.....especially since 'WildFlower'.....Faye on the other hand is going downhill since her last album, not in popularity but in terms of performance......

Yes Sandy is always the best.

Faye used to be a cocteau twins x the cranberries wannabe. Sandy now tries to be tori amos x bjork. How great can a singer be when they sound like imitations?
