    夜阑卧听呢喃语

     
      没有任何音乐背景的Zelmani,甚至没有任何公共演出经历,却以她的处女碟荣登流行音乐最畅销唱片的榜首。尽管行内传她十分的害羞,但是不久她便作为一个新人原创歌手获得了欧亚市场。
      
      Zelmani十四岁的时候拥有了她的第一把吉他,她的父亲教她和弦。差不多十年以后,开始陆续将自己录制的小样寄给各家唱片公司。索尼公司第一个给了她答复,并且把她介绍给曾和Ulf Lundell 与Bo Kaspers Orkester合作过的创作人兼吉他手Lars Halapi。在与Zelmani的合作中,Halapi负责编曲,他把Van Morrison风格融入到她的新专辑中,这也许是他最出色的地方。不过词作者都是Zelmani,她的柔和清澈的嗓音给人一种甜而不腻的感觉。1995年冬天,专辑打入流行榜单第四名,不久便在瑞典和日本大卖。
     
      从1995年以一曲“Always You”开始,来自瑞典这个北方国度的甜美清新邻家女孩Sophie Zelmani苏菲珊曼妮,便以其生活化、发自内心真诚的诗意词句,简单乾净透澈却能直接触摸隐藏在心灵深处纤纤情感的音乐,而征服了瑞典、欧陆乃至亚洲的广大歌迷。Sophie Zelmani的音乐之所以能像她的人一样,情感纤细、纯净亲切而动人,那是因为她的歌直接纪录了她的成长心路历程。

      从收录“Always You”、“A Thousand Times”等单曲,甜美羞涩的首张同名专辑,到走红之后面对漫长的巡回演出与数不尽的访谈而感到痛苦,继而使其创作呈现出苦涩与深沉黑暗气氛的第二张专辑《Precious Burden》,再到即将迎向曙光、向伤感告别的第三张专辑《Time To Kill》,以及如今的最新作品“Sing And Dance”-彷佛用音乐来回忆着过去那个在情感或生理上正要愈合,然而一旦触碰到还是会带来疼痛的伤口-Sophie Zelmani就像个挚友般分享着她的情感与心情变化,唯一不变的是她的音乐表现方式,依然是清脆的吉他和弦衬托着她温暖甜美的歌声,恰如其分不喧宾夺主的鼓与贝斯,陪衬上彷如远方传来的萨克司风及逐渐贴近的长笛或小提琴悠扬旋律,传递出彷佛在冷飕飕的秋天夜晚漫步走在瑞典已然结霜的路上,脚底还不时传出嘎吱细碎声响,那沁凉萧瑟绝美的意境,让人愈听愈沉醉其中不愿自拔。
    
      当06年第一片雪花在瑞典内陆飘落的时候,Sophie Zelmani 为新专辑《Love Affair》画上了点睛一笔。专辑中的歌曲缠绕着明亮的色彩和寂静——好象在秋天浓烈的红色和黄色上涂抹上一层纯洁的雪。
    
      专辑讲述着人们之间的关系,亲昵或者暧昧。Zelmani 的声音在某些地方甚至变成了喃喃细语。Sophie Zelmani 在旷野中的小村庄写出了专辑中的大部分歌曲,另外几首则做于哥特兰岛(Gotland),但她解释说其实写作的灵感更多是来源于她所遇到的各式各样的人,而非去过的那些地方。

      Hard To Know
     
      I ain't here for fun
      can't be moved around
      Maybe that means I can't
      give you a good time
      I could spend my time
      looking at you
      But as long as you're striving
      I've got to do that too
      Hard for you to know
      I'm dripping of love
      Hard to defend
      I'm only dreaming of love
      I'm not here to make
      my voice heard
      maybe that makes me smaller
      in this world
      I could spend my time
      wishing I was like you
      But if you think my life
      looks alright, I'll think so too
