Smile - 還未到薛凱琪最佳水准


當年一曲《奇洛李維斯回信》令我認識她,亦令我頗欣賞上她那濃濃少女的感覺,清新脫俗而甜密是我在她的聲音中找到的。一些童話、夢想或是幻想的曲風在她口中唱出最為適合,好像奇洛李維斯回信、尋找獨角獸或是南瓜車,到現在我也找不到誰能比她唱得更好。奈何總覺得她近年水准下滑,離我喜愛的薛凱琪越來越遠。

入正題吧!Smile 這隻大碟,無任何期待的去聽,無任何驚喜的聽完。感染力的不足是致命傷,歌曲旋律和編曲不俗,但她就是無法像以前把歌的感覺帶出來。天國的微笑reprise 比第一首的好聽,第一首天國的微笑沒有Reprise 版那種較為哀怨的感覺,但這旋律的確較適合哀怨的感覺,感染力強很多。甜蜜蜜旋律和編曲的確很甜,但我嫌薛凱琪不夠甜,沒有那種溶化掉的感覺,以前的唱腔會好點。不呼不吸幾多秒編曲頗輕鬆自然,但Fiona 的唱法略嫌生硬,不夠放鬆,但這首歌還算舒服,可以一聽。劍龍在草地散步的旋律主觀上不喜歡,和我想像中的劍龍在草地散步的畫面相差太遠。My Choice X 曲和詞略嫌普通,普通的POP ROCK 沒什麼驚喜。

接下來是這碟最精彩的一部份的開始,一個人一支煙的編曲絕對一流,氣勢磅薄的演奏配合那憂鬱的曲調,有點舞台劇的感覺,但Fiona 未能完全控制,尤其低音部份感染力超低,高音卻又未能與鋼琴和小提曲抗衡,這首歌對她來說太難了。難道你不怕凍繼續以一流的編曲的取勝,繼續以弦樂配合動聽的旋律,還是老問題,唱者感染力不足,配樂成了主菜。天國的微笑Reprise 剛才說過了,鋼琴很適合這首歌,這首歌好。

整體來說,不過不失,沒什驚喜。甜未夠甜,亦未有Fiona 最煞食的幻想曲風。編曲值得一讚,但Fiona 未能完全配合和掌握,感染力不足。可以一聽,亦期待她回復水准。
P.S. 之前聽過吳浩康的Break It,那裡是全新的吳浩康,唱法是穩定但感染力不足,歌曲是一貫的POP,真的沒什麼值得聽,在此兩句說說好了。

  1. Really? I have slightly different views on this album. For me personally I think it's one of the better albums she has released.

    Firstly, I absolutely love 天國的微笑 because I think her voice matches quite well with the music. That being said, I think the reprise brought out a different feel to the song.

    The lyrics to 甜蜜蜜 for most part is meant to be sweet, but taking a look from another point of view, it can also be said to express the feeling that she's sad because she can't seem to find Mr Right so will have to do with Mr Wrong.

    As for the next two fast songs, I think 劍龍在草地散步 stands out more. Though neither is probably as catchy as 886 or 小峡谷1234. Perhaps could be sung better.

    The next couple of songs I do agree with you. My Choice X is a little too ordinary. 一個人一支煙 and 難道你不怕凍 are really good songs, but Fiona wasted the lyrics and music. She just can't seem to put across the right feel to the song. Probably would've sounded better if sung by someone with more life experiences.

    Lastly, I didn't really like any of the duets they put on. 甜蜜蜜 is not suitable for duet and 给十年后的我 duet version didn't really add anything special to the original.

    It's nice to hear your opinion on things though!
