昨天那篇JustJared的MV review是跟五首專輯曲的review一起刊出的。 Five song Album Review http://justjared.buzznet.com/2011/05/11/beyonce-4-album-preview/ 百度網友翻譯：http://tieba.baidu.com/f?kz=1076809900 Beyonce '4' Album Preview - EXCLUSIVE Beyonce held a preview listening party for her upcoming album, 4, at the NYC offices of Sony Music on Wednesday afternoon (May 11). 5/11下午在Sony Music紐約辦公室舉辦新專輯4的試聽會。 About a dozen of her super fans watched the “Run The World (Girls)” video in a conference room before the 29-year-old global superstar came in and surprised everyone, shaking hands and hugging every single person in the room. (One of her fansites BeyonceWorld even flew in from Australia!) 參與的人士是媒體以及歌迷。看完了MV後Bee走進試聽室跟每個人握手與擁抱。 BeyonceWorld這個歌迷站的歌迷甚至是從澳洲專程飛來紐約的。 “When editing the DVD [for Beyonce: I Am... World Tour], I noticed that the tone of my voice is different live [than my recording one],” Beyonce told JustJared.com. “So I used that live performance tone throughout the record.” Bee說在做I Am... World Tour的後製時，發現她唱live的聲音跟錄音室是有差異的，這次的新專輯她要用唱live的方式來呈現。 B then sat down, grabbed a bottle of Pellegrino sparkling water, and played five new tracks for the room. 她坐下來喝了口Pellegrino礦泉水，開始播專輯曲給大家試聽。 “I wanted to do something refreshing and different,” Beyonce told JustJared.com. “So I mixed genres and drew inspiration from touring, traveling, watching rock bands, and attending festivals… I was like a mad scientist, putting lots of different songs together.” Bee說這次她要做些新鮮且不一樣的，她混合了不同的音樂類型，並以巡演、旅遊、看搖滾樂團表演以及參加各種音樂季為靈感。她覺得自己像是科學家，把很多不同的音樂調合在一起。 Click inside for JustJared.com’s preview of “4?… Beyonce ‘4? Album Preview - JustJared.com Exclusive SONG #1 ———- Part of the song, tentatively titled “Till The End of Time,” has already leaked on YouTube. “The bass line was inspired by [Nigerian musician and composer] Fela Kuti,” Beyonce shared with JustJared.com. “It’ s my nephew Julez’s favorite song.” (JJ Tidbit: Jay-Z produced the Broadway musical Fela! about the late Nigerian singer.) 第一首歌曲有被以Till The End of Time這個歌名流出片段來。靈感來自奈及利亞傳奇音樂人Fela Kuti，這首歌是她姪子Julez最喜歡的歌曲。（Jay-Z製作的音樂劇Fela!就是關於Fela Kuti。） Here are some sample lyrics: “I wanna love you so (hit me)/ I will be the one to kiss you at night… Come on take my hand/ I won’t let you go/ I’ll be your friend/ I will love you so… Turn your rain into sun… Say you’ll never let me go.” SONG #2 ———- This mid-tempo song has lots of drums much like “Run The World.” “Babyface wrote the song,” Beyonce told JustJared.com. The track is about karma and revenge and kicks off with, “What goes around comes back around.” Some key phrases from the song include, “Best thing I’ve ever had ” and “Best thing you’ve never had.” The best line in the song goes, “ You showed your ass, baby I saw the real you.” The song closes with, “Sucks to be you right now.” 這首歌是由Babyface創作，跟Run The World一樣運用了很多鼓為元素。內容是關於因果與報復。 SONG #3 ———- This ballad is moody and dark. It’s a song that will really sit with you, rather than be an instant smash hit. One fan asked Beyonce if she was crying at the beginning of the song because it sounded like she was. “Almost,” she responded. “I was on the verge.” 這是首灰暗的抒情曲，可能不會是一首迅速大賣的歌曲，但將會非常的貼近你。有歌迷問Bee在歌曲開頭是不是哭了？ Bee說她幾乎快哭出來了。 Jeff Bhasker penned this song, Beyonce confirmed. “It’s one of my favorite songs [off of the album],” she said. 這首歌是Jeff Bhasker寫的，是Bee這張專輯最喜歡的歌曲之一。 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Bhasker Some sample lyrics: “I told you how you hurt me/ I’m crying and deserted but you don’t care/ Nobody told me this is love/ You’re immune to all my pain/ This is love but that’s okay… But I care/ I know you don’t care too much/ But I still care.” SONG #4 ———- This track starts off the lyrics “killing me softly” and samples Boyz II Men’s “Uhh Ahh.” Beyonce uses the countdown and sings between each decremental number “10, 9, 8…” 以killing me softly這歌詞作開頭，這首歌取樣了Boyz II Men的Uhh Ahh。 Bee在從十開始的數字倒數間唱這首歌。 “Boyz II Men were the first ones to put Destiny’s Child on tour,” Beyonce told JustJared.com. “They showed us how to treat an opening act and I will never forget that. That was 15 years ago! Wow, 15 years! (laughs) I’m old.” Boyz II Men是最早邀請Destiny's Child做演唱會開場的藝人，他們展示了歌手該如何對待幫忙為演唱會開場的藝人，她永遠不會忘記。這竟然已經是十五年前的事了， Bee說她已經老了。 Some sample lyrics: “Dedicated to the one I love… diamonds in that chain… Riding that pony.. showing him how you ride… If you leave me, you’re out of your mind. London, speed it up. Houston, rock it.” What did Jay-Z think of this song? “He liked it,” Beyonce told JustJared.com. “I don’t think he was dissecting it, just thinking of what he could do to it as a rapper.” Jay-Z對這首歌的想法？ Bee說Jay-Z喜歡這首歌。她不覺得他有仔細的剖析這首歌，而是以饒舌歌手的角度來看他可以做些什麼。 SONG #5 ———- Beyonce had the lights turned down for this beautiful ballad. Here’s how the song starts: “If I ain’t got nothing, I got you/ If I ain’ t got something, I don’t give a damn/ Because I got here…” 在試聽這首美麗的抒情曲時， Bee把試聽室的燈光關掉。 “I don’t know much about algebra but one plus one is two,” she croons. “ He ain’t got nothing but love. Darling, you got enough for the both of us. Make love when my days look low, pull me in close.” “RUN THE WORLD (GIRLS)” VIDEO ———- It’s everything we hoped it would be - amazing! (Watch the 60-second “Run The World” teaser.) The video starts and ends with Beyonce riding her horse. (A lion walks into one of the dance numbers and Beyonce has two giant hyenas on leashes in another scene.) The room went crazy during two parts of the song. The first was when Beyonce sings “eff you” and gives the middle finger (albeit pixelated with a censor). The second was when Beyonce is on her knees, bent backwards, and writhing around in the sand. It’s reminiscent of the sand dance sequence in her “Baby Boy” video The dance sequences were choreographed by her longtime friend Frank Gatson with help from Sheryl Murakami and Mozambican kwaito dance group Tofo Tofo. Beyonce had scoured the Internet and discovered Tofo Tofo on YouTube. The funny thing is they had no idea who Beyonce was when she reached out to them! (Tofo Tofo gets down with Beyonce in a few of the dance numbers.) Beyonce had walked into the room after her fans watched the “Run the World” video, so after the album preview, she had the video played again. “I’ve never watched it with a group of people before, so I’m excited,” she said. So the fans got to see the video not once, but twice! After the album preview and video screening, Beyonce thanked everyone in the room for coming and said she had to go rehearse for her next “thing.” She has so many “things” coming up, we’re all so excited! -- ※ 發信站: 批踢踢實業坊(ptt.cc) ◆ From: 125.93.48.132 ※ 編輯: joyride 來自: 125.93.48.132 (05/13 11:34)
