继2004年一鸣惊人代表作、个人首张专辑「苏菲·蜜儿」(Sophie Milman)席卷全球广受各界好评,荣登各大畅销排行榜轻松超过十万张的销售佳绩,苏菲·蜜儿(Sophie Milman)一跃成为新生代的爵士小天后,是当今全世界歌坛最受欢迎的女声之一!在过去的三年时间里,除了但任蒙特娄爵士音乐节(Montreal Jazz Festival)封面人物的殊荣与纽约JVC爵士音乐节的压轴演出,苏菲·蜜儿开始了全球上百场的售票巡回演唱会,足迹遍及欧美英日等各地、票房爆满长红!2007年的秋天,苏菲·蜜儿与她的专属乐团受邀前来台北、高雄、香港、广州、上海等五地演唱;饱满高亢如丝缎般美丽的歌声,优异的现场演唱功力,甜美清秀佳人充满着异国浪漫的性感,精通英、法、俄与犹太文等四种语言,苏菲·蜜儿兼具美貌与实力,是近年来加拿大进军全球乐坛最耀眼璀璨的新生代爵士女声!
专辑一开始苏菲·蜜儿在标准爵士三重奏伴奏下、轻快的唱出Hammerstein & Rodgers百老汇名曲「我俩热恋中」(People Will Say We're In Love)作为序曲带出整张专辑主题与浪漫都会风格,经过三年的历练、苏菲·蜜儿在声音的运用上更加收放自如,高低转音之间饱满圆润,沉稳平实的展现她纯熟的歌唱技巧;接下来两首融合爵士风华的抒情摇滚小品,分别是摇滚老将Randy Bachman全新创作曲「爱弥漫空中」(Something in the Air Between Us)以及黑人盲歌手巨星Stevie Wonder畅销曲「火箭爱」(Rocket Love),融合浓郁的七十年代抒情风情、温暖而慵懒的柔美感受;以大乐团编制愉悦和眴的重新诠释演唱百老汇名剧「屋顶上的提琴手」插曲「红娘,红娘」(Matchmaker, Matchmaker)以及爵士经典曲「如沐爱河」(Like Someone in Love);专辑同名主题曲「让你快乐」(Make Someone Happy)和Joe Raposo流行名曲「青翠不容易」((It’s Not Easy) Bein’ Green),在苏菲·蜜儿性感美声舒软柔情诠释下,浓情蜜意美不胜收;浪漫法式香颂原创曲「为我停留」(Rest (Stay)),是一首温暖可人的巴莎诺瓦抒情小品;狂野挑逗性感诠释爵士歌后Peggy Lee代表作「情热」(Fever)以及“The Guess Who”六十年代摇滚名曲「未终曲」(Undun);整张专辑的结尾曲,苏菲·蜜儿特别以犹太文演唱第二次世界大战犹太屠杀浩劫英雄诗人Hannah Senesh所创作的「神阿神,走向西撒利亚」(Eli, Eli (A Walk to Caesarea))这首深具意义的曲目、为这张美丽的爵士专辑画下一个完美的ending!
Sophie Milman exudes confidence in her second CD as a leader, though she draws material from a much wider range of music styles for this session. The singer is still a fine interpreter of standards and show tunes, offering a flirtatious "People Will Say We're in Love" as a solid opener and an imaginative setting of "Matchmaker, Matchmaker" that showcases harmonica player Gregoire Maret and pianist Paul Shrofel. The addition of a droning opening vamp in "Fever" updates Peggy Lee's hit while keeping its hypnotic flavor intact. Arranger Cameron Wallis is added on tenor sax for Milman's torchy interpretation of "Make Someone Happy," while he wrote the bossa nova "Reste (Stay)" in which she negotiates the multilingual lyrics flawlessly. The singer swings like mad in Shrofel's playful "So Long, You Fool." Some of Milman's choices from pop don't work quite as well. Composer Randy Bachman is an added guest for his "Undun" (a hit for the Canadian rock band the Guess Who), though it sounds bogged down. A number of Stevie Wonder's songs have become favorites of jazz musicians, but "Rocket Fever" quickly becomes tiresome and never shakes its pop flavor. Sophie Milman deserves high praise for not playing it safe and taking some chances for this outing, which is warmly recommended.
