处在这匆忙的钢筋都市中,喧嚣早已掩盖听觉感官,但是,庆幸有Ed Sheeran尚留一丝暖意,从容自若地牵动你我内心感动因子,在灵魂深处烙下深刻印记。一方面诉说纠结的故事,让残酷的无奈点滴侵蚀,一方面拾起爱恋碎片,拼起潜藏回忆中的感同身受。一举囊括全英音乐奖『最佳男歌手』+『最佳新人』双料大奖殊荣,入围葛莱美『最佳新人』的Ed Sheeran,从一头红发与落腮胡中,反透腼腆大男孩般的笑容,唱起歌时的深情,轻易瓦解听者的心防!
除了清新民谣风之外,美派嘻哈/饶舌/灵魂,甚至英伦电舞,都是Ed无国界理念创作下的素材。2011年发行首张专辑“+”便登记英国冠军狂销6白金,攻陷美国第5名、获颁金唱片认证,并缔造全球逾4百万张专辑销售。其中描述毒品议题的「The A Team」,双料提名全英和葛莱美音乐奖『年度单曲』表扬,连续11周停留全英单曲榜Top 10,成为2011年最畅销的首发单曲!睽违3年之久的“x”,Ed早已写出百余首作品,请到时代杂志评选「全球百大影响力人物」传奇大师Rick Rubin(AC/DC)筛选并参与部分制作,连同火速窜红的Benny Blanco(Maroon 5)一起改造,除了稳固原本架构于Acoustic的基础,同时披上迷人的Neo-Soul Funk绚烂彩衣,外加鬼才菲董Pharrell Williams(Daft Punk)协助,企图无限加值出音乐的丰富性。此外,首辑中的主推手Jake Gosling(Lady Gaga)二度站台+Snow Patrol主唱Gary Lightbody+英伦舞团Rudimental…等,全明星阵容通力掌盘!
安静沉稳的「One」,交付空心吉他的驱动,搭上Ed深情的真假音配置,记载对前女友的回忆;在一次赌城夜晚狂欢后写下的「Sing」,受到Justin Timberlake音乐启发,和菲董共同打造出手舞足蹈之作,已荣登全英金榜冠军,并以首周销量便名列全英年度畅销单曲Top5;几乎用说唱方式演绎背叛曲目「Don’t」,已拿下全球26国iTunes冠军;无法爱到所爱的碎心之歌「Nina」,保藏Hip-Hop+Funky Soul元素,令人耳朵为之一开的捕捉多处精采桥段;刻划落寞神伤的「Tenerife Sea」,藉曲引述参与2013年葛莱美颁奖典礼感觉遭到冷落的心境;Ed最爱的「Thinking Out Loud」,呈现一支Soulful迷人的情歌,蓝调吉他弹奏出顺畅耐听旋律,散尽关于现任女友的浪漫;琴韵飞扬包围催泪的「Afire Love」,送给因病甫离世的祖父,在葬礼时完成的感伤小品,同样登上全球26国iTunes冠军!
豪华精装版加值收录5首歌,包括分别为卖座电影【哈比人:荒谷恶龙】、【生命中的美好缺憾】量身打造的动人主题曲「I See Fire」和「All Of The Stars」,还有Ed秀上快嘴饶舌技能,没有任何嘻哈节拍,仅靠民谣吉他辅佐、令人拍案叫绝的「Take It Back」。
藉由“x”专辑,Ed要以他的创作与歌声陪你走过人生景致、体验喜怒哀乐的个中滋味,真挚动人地赋与你勇气继续跨步前行!
