幽默爽朗 Pelle Carlberg
In a Nutshell
Pelle Carlberg
Label: Twentyseven Records
2007.07
★★★★★★★★☆☆
瑞典清新派Indie-Pop樂隊Edson的的靈魂人物Pelle,繼05年發表了首張solo專輯《Everything. Now!》後,07年推出了第二張全新專輯《In a Nutshell》。繼續發揮Pelle的幽默、溫暖、親切的獨特個性。
相對於首張專輯《Everything. Now!》,今次專輯可說是一張延續。
起首曲"Pamplona"是讚美西班牙小鎮Pamplona的輕快曲目;接著是與女歌手IDA MARIA合唱的"I love you, you imbecile",爽快又動聽。輕快過後,沉重唱出"Why do today what you can put off until tomorrow?",簡單的結他勾弦,加上招牌式假音,把心情葬入谷底。接著是為中產人仕抱不平的"Middleclass kid","I touched you at the sound check"說自己綵排時遇到The Smiths鼓手的有趣經歷。"Clever girls like clever boys much more than clever boys like clever girls"的嚇長歌名,伴著輕鬆節奏;單看歌詞,反諷的意味很高。
好戲還在後頭,"In a nutshell"是首純音樂;隨之而來,是bonus track "Hit Song", 傻傻的說自己寫不出大賣的歌,中段更唱到:“Hong Kong,You Never Go To Hong Kong...”才知到兩度來港的Pelle,真的很喜歡香港。
當然還有"Crying all the way to the pawnshop","I just called to say I love you","Even a broken clock (is right twice a day)"這些拿手的小品曲目。
Pelle Carlberg是我欣賞的唱作人之一。這次專輯相對地輕快的歌多了,幽默感重了,人也輕鬆了,依然散發著Pelle的獨特個性。遺憾的是他曾兩次來港也錯失了欣賞他演出的機會。
