Billie-Eve
现居法国的德国籍创作女歌手Ayo,父亲是到德国念书的尼日利亚人,母亲则是成长于吉普赛群体的 罗马尼亚人,因为家庭环境影响,Ayo从小不但沉浸在父亲搜藏的唱片堆中,更向往波希米亚人那种游 牧的生活方式,四处为家,居无定所。 Ayo从小就开始学习乐器演奏,从小提琴到钢琴再至吉他,深爱音乐的Ayo,希望能多接触各项乐器, 更尝试从中创作属于自己的主题曲。 随着岁数增长,她决定离开家乡,借着旅游吸收各国音乐文化,从英国至美国再到巴黎,每一次的停留 都让Ayo获益良多,也成为歌曲中的点滴记印。 “Billie-Eve”是Ayo的2011年最新专辑。 她的音乐简单自然,她的声音干净质朴,就像带着一把吉他浪迹天涯的吉普赛女郎,散发神秘的迷人气质。 声音表情似乎无需太多乐器润饰,就能传递一场感动人心的真诚演出,为歌曲注入更多生命力,体会来自 德国的暖色系音频,调融Folk、Jazz、Soul、Reggae等声韵,捕捉欧式浪漫,为男女情爱世界找寻可以暂 时休憩的温柔空间。 Billie-Eve is the third studio album by German singer–songwriter Ayọ. The album is named after her daughter and was recorded in New York with the cooperation of musicians like Craig Ross (guitarist of Lenny Kravitz), the rapper Saul Williams, Matthieu Chedid and Gail Ann Dorsey, bass player of David Bowie. The recording took five days like her previous two albums. Four songs, including It Hurts and Real Love, have been recorded afterwards in Paris.
