★★★★★★★☆☆☆


之前在免費報紙上連載碟評,後來完結了報紙連載後就懶得寫,這次介紹的專輯買了很久也寫了碟評,不過都是懶得發佈。

我對韓國樂壇並不熟悉,只知韓國的少男少女組合橫行亞洲樂壇,早十年八年前也有買 BoA 的唱片 (後期 BoA 去了日本發展已慢慢失去興趣)。而今次介紹的 leeSA 找到的資料不太多(最主要是不懂韓文)。leeSA 2011年出道,以結他作為主要樂器,配合其他電子樂器演唱,以 folkpop 的樂風透過 YouTube 發表其音樂作品,從而在網絡上走紅。

"유감" 以都會節拍之曲加上爵士音韻作開場的;"오늘도 어제처럼" 簡單的結他勾弦,重複又重複的、輕輕地唱和,慢慢地陶醉。從來都是簡單就是美,這是一首簡單迷人優美的ballad。

甚麼是韓式編曲我不懂,但"작은 바램"的編曲和轉折位就是很"韓式",沒有褒與眨。"The Boy Meets The Girl" 的電子舞曲算是小試牛刀。

幾首翻唱 Coldplay 的 "Viva La Vida",ke$ha 的 "Tik Tok" 和 Massive Attack 的 "Teardrop",leeSA都會運用一些音樂軟件,利用 ipad 等小硬件作拍子機和混音,其中 "Tik Tok" 的確技驚四座,優美的嗓子個認為這版本比完唱好太多。其後的 "유감" Acoustic Mix 又是令人驚喜。

韓國樂壇都著重包裝和過於商業化,自私的我但願 LeeSA 保持著獨立音樂人,不要受商業包裝的影響,樸實的享受音樂。

LeeSA 擁有美好的聲線,基本上自彈自唱都具感染力,翻唱歌重新編曲也是其拿手好戲,希望下張專輯可以多些原創作品。
