29: 范玮琪 Faces of FanFan 新歌+精选



07-2008年发行/Linfair(福茂)

不知不觉地唱了八年,也是她歌唱生涯里的第二张精选辑。
再次发行精选辑似乎有点太快?

并持着一年至少发行一张专辑,其实更希望听到她今年发行完整的专辑,挑战明年的金曲奖。


不过唱片公司却采取了的策略是:设法减低制作成本,以经典的旧作冲击低迷的华语唱片市场。

但是在众多歌手也在推出精选辑的同时,我自己却选择了这张相当有诚意的作品。
因为身旁有位朋友是范范的粉丝,所以会购买她的专辑,而我也会直接向他借。
因此对于她的歌曲,我并不会感到陌生,相当熟悉。

***

“Faces of FanFan”呈现了不同面貌的范范。
尤其是收录在Classic光碟里的歌曲,应该都称得上是历年的经典作品,
使我更为动容,买下这张专辑。

演绎陈小霞的作品,我想她已经驾轻就熟。
“一颗心的距离”想必不难引起大家的共鸣,是范范式的典型情歌。

反而自己的谱曲的“放电”,我认为不是她最好的创作。
建议你不如听听她的“黑白配”与“每天”。

“如果你是我”与周华健合唱。新鲜的配搭,但所擦出的火花我认为只属中规中距。
比较喜欢她之前与女歌手合作的歌曲,觉得更深入民心。

如果抽掉新歌,来评这张专辑...
我觉“Faces of FanFan"绝对是张让我回味不已,值得收藏的专辑。
如果你未曾拥有过她任何的专辑,而你也喜欢她的歌曲,不妨考虑购买此专辑。

现在一起来欣赏网友为范范制作的音乐特辑,里头综合了收录在这张专辑的歌曲:

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.
