ABC

迈克尔·杰克逊和他的兄弟们发行了这张专辑，这是他们摩城时代的亮点，当时他只有11岁，听到这个消息仍然令人兴奋。《ABC》是一首欢快的拍手、跨步钢琴和爆米花节奏的狂潮，《2-4-6-8》中的多声部合唱感觉就像一股温暖、深情的微风。这张专辑充满了杰梅因适时的即兴创作，全部通过迈克尔过滤，迈克尔回忆起詹姆斯·布朗在《你拯救的爱》中兴奋的尖叫和粗鲁的咆哮，并在《真爱可以是美丽的》中流畅、自信的吟唱掩盖了他多年的岁月 Michael Jackson was only 11 when he and his brothers released this album-length highlight of their Motown years, and it’s still a thrill to hear. “ABC” is a happy frenzy of handclaps, stride piano and popcorn rhythms, and the multi-voice chorus on “2-4-6-8” feels like a warm, soulful breeze. Peppered with Jermaine’s well-timed ad-libs, the album is all filtered through Michael, who recalls James Brown with excited yelps and rough-voiced bellowing on “The Love You Save” and belies his years with smooth, assured crooning on “True Love Can Be Beautiful.”
