Jewel Lullaby (Deluxe Christmas Edition)
Jewel发行了她2009年新专辑《Lullaby》,顾名思义,这的确是一张摇篮曲唱片,五首经典名曲,如“《simple gifts》《somewhere over the raibow》《Brahms' Lullaby》《Twinkle,twinkle little star》”等,此外还有jewel个人的最新创作,如最受歌迷欢迎的《Forever and a day (always)》和歌词写的很好《Circle song》等。这也是Jewel第一张独立制作、通过独立厂牌发行的唱片。整张专辑的制作以及录音全都在Jewel德州的home studio中完成。 如果你只是简单地将这张专辑视为儿童听的音乐继而错过的话,那必将是你的损失.它不单单是唱给孩子听的摇篮曲,对于成人来说更是释放心情,抚慰心灵的疗伤音乐。它不仅仅能够安抚孩童安然进入梦乡,也是成人放松解压的一种方式。一把原声吉他,一把清澈嗓音,呈现出最原始,最自然,最简单的音乐表达方式,我相信每个在这喧闹纷乱的"文明"城市中每天忙碌,不堪重负的人们都会选择倾听"Lullaby",因为他们渴望被催眠,渴望入睡,渴望享受一天当中最轻松安逸的时刻。 Clearly intended to appear at the end of Jewel's run on Dancing with the Stars -- a run that was pre-empted due to injury -- Lullaby finds her delivering her first children's album, appropriately appearing on Fisher Price Records. That label and title, along with versions of "Twinkle Twinkle Little Star," "Somewhere Over the Rainbow," and "Brahms Lullaby," are the strongest indication that Lullaby is intended for little ones; if it was taken as pure sound, it's almost indistinguishable from Jewel's earliest albums, particularly her crawling portentous sophomore effort, Spirit. To her credit, Jewel never panders to kids, never creates something sickly sweet or cutesy, she merely delivers a collection of lullabies intended to relax and soothe. She succeeds so well in that regard that none of the individual songs stand out, they all blend together in a sweet, sometimes haughty sigh, something that will ease plenty of children into slumber.
