12: 范玮琪 真善美

======

时机。


说真的,对于她的主持能力我还是持有置疑。

和朋友曾经分析过她在这音乐圈子里的地位与发展。

受欢迎的单曲?比较常播放的有... 到不了,启程,一比一,如果的事,等等。

不过听过这些歌的人却大部份说不出原唱者是谁,对她印象不深。

我认为她其实处于一个较尴尬的位置。
不算红,但依然活跃在这个乐坛中,安安稳稳的生存着。
每年都会悄悄发行至少一张专辑,发片量并不输于当今畅销歌手。

这两年所交出的作品...
我们的纪念日,
哲学家,
都属于耐听型的专辑,值得推荐;
但却依然不能突围而出,使她受到瞩目。

只能继续等待时机。

何时?

今年金曲奖?机会相信渺茫。

华语音乐市场惨淡,现在只能期盼好声音不会又被埋没。

...

现实生活中,你是否也在等待这样的一个机会?

Review first published in 2007.



28-5-2003年发行/Linfair(福茂)

I bought this album on impulse when I was attending her autograph session at that time. But I did not manage to let her sign till I attended yet another of her autograph session when she was on a promotion tour for 我们的纪念日 3 years later. I did not have much impression of her except for her 到不了 at that time. Her stage performance and friendly personality left quite a good impression and I believe that should be the reason for the sudden impulse to purchase this album then.

The first half of the album was smooth and pleasant until it reaches Track 07 which I feel, spoilt the entire soothing atmosphere for the album. Yes, folk is her forte but it was a bit out of place among the rest of the ballads. Normally I will skip that track when I'm listening to this album. Collaboration with Guang Liang came as a surprise, but the impact was not as significant as compared to the duet she did later on with Angela Cheung. My pick for this album goes to 永恒, which unfortunately was not being promoted at that time too.

Even though I did not purchase her albums anymore after that, I did borrow from a friend who was an avid supporter of her. What I notice later on was Fan Fan belongs to the group of "listening-friendly" type of singers or 耐听型歌手. Initially you may find her album a bit dull and boring, but after several spins, you will grow to like her songs and you will unconsciously pick up this album from the shelves to listen periodically.
