Fly

《Ｆｌｙ》的制作群除了Ｐｒａｓ外，还有与劳伦希尔合作过的Ｖａｄａ　Ｎｏｂｌｅｓ。Ｄａｎｔｅ　Ｔｈｏｍａｓ的唱腔与Ｊａｍｉｒｏｑｕａｉ的主唱、创作首脑Ｊａｓｏｎ　Ｋａｙ有着些许类似，音乐走向则是时下流行的Ｒ＆Ｂ曲风，不过Ｔｈｏｍａｓ最令媒体与歌迷欣赏的是既能抓住年轻Ｒ＆Ｂ的脉动，同时也有着７０年代老派灵魂乐的韵味，令人回忆起黑人节奏蓝调的黄金时期。　　专辑首支单曲《Ｍｉｓｓ　Ｃａｌｉｆｏｒｎｉａ》的旋律一出，令人不禁想到英国的Ｃｒａｉｇ　Ｄａｖｉｄ；鲜明的节拍衬托着歌中加州女郎性感惹火的身材，与Ｂｅａｃｈ　Ｂｏｙｓ（海滩少年合唱团）的《Ｃａｌｉｆｏｒｎｉａ　Ｇｉｒｌｓ》有着异曲同工之妙；《Ｇｏｏｄｂｙｅ》曲风比较接近Ｎ　Ｓｙｎｃ（超级男孩），显示出Ｄａｎｔｅ　Ｔｈｏｍａｓ也具备偶像歌手的实力；小时候常听史提夫汪德的Ｔｈｏｍａｓ，《Ｍｏｎｅｙ　Ｃａｎｔ　Ｂｕｙ》的唱法的确属于汪德式与７０年代放克风格。从《Ｓｈｅ　Ｓａｙｓ》隐现的拉丁节拍与吉他到整首充满热带海洋风情的《Ｔｉｎａ　Ｃｏｌａｄａ》是专辑热情的展现。 Discovered by the Fugees' Pras and produced by Lauryn Hill collaborator Vada Nobles, the debut album from this blue-eyed soul singer combines enough R&B sass and street beats to merit the pedigree. But Thomas' smooth voice can't compensate for or camouflage the banality of the material. Only "Miss California," Thomas' bid for teen credibility, delivers any sort of jolt, and it's a minor one at that.
