這個來自加拿大溫哥華的25歲男歌手天賦異稟,他讓許多當代經(jīng)典歌曲搖身一變,成為帶有其個人色彩的作品。他的名字就是麥可布雷(Michael Buble /Buble這個字的發(fā)音為Boo-blay)。麥可在Reprise/143 Records唱片公司旗下所發(fā)行的個人首張專輯「溫柔本色」,將全方位的呈現(xiàn)他非凡卓越的歌唱魅力,這張專輯不僅是對樂史上某些不朽歌曲表示崇敬、不僅是對已逝去的音樂年代致上敬意,更重要的是,「溫柔本色」專輯中的13首歌曲,宣告了一個明日之星的降臨,他就是有本事以新鮮、獨特而饒富創(chuàng)意的自我風格,詮釋大家耳熟能詳?shù)母枨?br>打從幼年時期,麥可布雷對音樂的喜好就很早熟,他喜愛Ella Fitzgerald, Keely Smith, Sarah Vaughan和Rosemary Clooney等歌手的音樂,勝于Stevie Wonder, Elvis, Bobby Darin, Vaughan Monroe或是Ol' Blue Eyes。「在我成長的過程中,爺爺是我最要好的朋友!果溈烧f,「是他為我開啟了通往音樂世界的大門,讓我認識了我們這一代所忽略的那些歌曲。雖然我喜愛搖滾樂和現(xiàn)代音樂,但是當爺爺?shù)谝淮尾シ臡ills Brothers的音樂給我聽時,神奇的事情發(fā)生了!它們的歌詞是如此浪漫、如此真實……對我而言,一首真正的歌曲就應當如此。我彷佛看見自己的未來閃現(xiàn)在眼前,我希望當一名歌手,我知道這就是我想演唱的音樂。」
事實上,麥可的爺爺是促使他走上音樂之途的幕后推手!杆笪?guī)退粋忙,去學習演唱他喜愛的那些歌曲。」麥可說,「爺爺根本不用花什么力氣說服我,隨后我便開始練習,并參加當?shù)氐囊粋才藝競賽,最后我贏了比賽,不過卻因為年齡不足而被取消資格。我的爺爺是一個很有經(jīng)驗的水電工,當時他開始向鎮(zhèn)上的音樂家提供免費的服務,交換的條件就是讓我和他們一起在舞臺上表演幾首歌!巩敎馗缛A所有漏水的水龍頭都被修好時,一顆明日之星就誕生了!
17歲時,麥可已累積了許多演唱經(jīng)驗,他很明確地知道自己的方向。他在加拿大的新秀選拔賽中再次贏得首獎,于是在獨立唱片公司的旗下錄制并發(fā)行了一連串的專輯,并且在音樂劇「Red Rock Diner」與「Swing」中得到演出的機會。麥可之所以正式踏入樂壇,多虧了加拿大的前首相Brian Mulroney,他本身是經(jīng)典流行老歌的歌迷,是他將麥可引薦給葛萊美獎制作人/音樂家、同時也是是華納唱片的主管戴維佛斯特(David Foster)。當麥可在Mulroney 女兒的婚禮上演唱"Mack The Knife"時,這位初出茅廬的年輕歌手和這位經(jīng)驗老道的制作人一拍即合,隨后,麥可便正式的簽入戴維福斯特的唱片公司143 Records旗下。2001年春天,他們著手進行麥可的首張專輯!肝覀冊阡浺羰依锖献饔淇臁!果溈山忉尩溃府敃r我們想做的東西,是一張向經(jīng)典歌曲致敬的專輯、或是一張沙發(fā)音樂,我們希望這些音樂得到它們應受的尊敬與喜愛,但最重要的是捕捉到它們的精髓與活力,那是超越任何一個音樂年代的!
一開始,戴維福斯特與合作伙伴HumbertoGatica制作的焦點,都是讓麥可演唱經(jīng)典流行老歌,但是很快的他們就發(fā)現(xiàn),麥可杰出的歌唱技巧,已完全不受限于30與40年代的歌曲。
「結(jié)果,我們并沒有走上原先設(shè)想的方向。」麥可說,「戴維和Humberto帶來了 很廣泛的音樂素材,這些東西立刻吸引了我。我們一直很小心的維持我的風格, 后來我們發(fā)現(xiàn)在這樣的風格范圍中,任何種類的歌曲都并行不悖。」
他們的合作造就了「溫柔本色」這樣的一張專輯,輕而易舉的將所有曲目融合在 一起,包括了不朽老歌"For Once In My Life"、"Fever"、"The Way You LookTonight",并將Van Morrison的"Moondance"與Lou Rawl的代表作 "You'll NeverFind Another Love Like Mine"改頭換面。專輯中還翻唱了BeeGees的經(jīng)典作"How Can You Mend A Broken Heart",由他與Bee Gees一同演唱, 在這首歌眾多的翻唱版本中,麥可的版本可視為頂尖之一!肝蚁,這些歌曲都有一個共同點!果溈杀硎,「它們都有感情、有靈魂,如何和一首歌的特質(zhì)靈 犀相通,并栩栩如生的呈現(xiàn)在聽眾面前,對任何一位歌手而言都是一種挑戰(zhàn)。當 然,專輯中某些歌曲一直是我的最愛,但是新的題材也帶有相同的特點,那就是 一種超越時空的特質(zhì)!
除此之外,麥可也為這13首歌曲浸染了獨屬于他自己的色彩!耕溈刹粌H是學習 了這些音樂,」戴維佛斯特下了結(jié)論,「他使它們活了起來,他注入了年輕的活 力,剛?cè)岵奶刭|(zhì)是我從來沒有聽過的。最棒的是,他踏入了一個領(lǐng)域,可以 讓他繼續(xù)往下走50年。他現(xiàn)在只是站在一段漫長事業(yè)的起跑點而已!
Michael Bublé's introduction to the music of the swing era came to him through his grandfather, who filled his grandson's ears with the sounds of the Mills Brothers, Ella Fitzgerald, Frank Sinatra, and others. As Bublé eagerly absorbed the recordings, he began to realize that he wanted to be a singer and that this style of music, virtually foreign to his own generation, was what he wanted to perform. With his grandfather's assistance, Bublé soon learned a whole catalog of tunes and gained experience and exposure by singing as a guest with several local bands. While still in his teen years, he won the Canadian Youth Talent Search, released several independent albums, and performed in a musical revue titled Swing that traveled across the U.S. It wasn't long before Bublé was introduced to Grammy-winning producer David Foster and signed his first major recording contract with Reprise Records.
The two Canadians began work on a debut album that would incorporate Bublé's aptitude for pop standards into songs that spanned several decades. His self-titled debut disc was released in early 2003 and featured jazzy takes on old standards like "Fever" and "The Way You Look Tonight" as well as newer classics like Van Morrison's "Moondance" and the Bee Gees' "How Can You Mend a Broken Heart." Further exposure ensued with a world tour and appearances on several television programs like NBC's Today Show, in which he sang a duet with host Katie Couric. He finished off 2003 with an EP of holiday material, Let It Snow, and began 2004 with the live CD/DVD set Come Fly with Me. In 2005, It's Time was a number one hit in Canada, Japan, Italy, and Australia and made the Top Ten of both the U.K. and U.S. Later that year he released the live album Caught in the Act. The holiday-themed album Christmas followed in 2006, with the studio effort Call Me Irresponsible dropping in 2007. Bublé returned in 2009 with the live concert album/DVD Michael Bublé Meets Madison Square Garden, which documented the singer's first ever performance at the storied New York City venue.
