歌手簡介
曾被紐約時報喻為“一個令人矚目的創作者”,滾石雜誌也盛讚她是一位“令人驚艷的歌手”。波士頓柏克萊音樂學院出身的葆拉寇爾是一點也不枉費這些人的讚譽的,1994年的首張專輯《Harbinger》,便可看出她強烈的音樂創作力,她的作品音樂清新,新民謠、世界音樂、爵士….等,她都能運用得宜,1997年的《The Fire》,只見她依舊用著敏銳的觀察和細膩的筆觸來表達她對整個世界的感情,在音樂上的創作技巧也更趨向成熟。99年她組了Paula Cole Band,有了Band的搭配,她的創作也趨向現代感。專輯中並收有TLC的T-Boz獻唱和Paula Cole Band與DJ Premier合作的歌曲,現在就來聽聽葆拉寇爾世紀末最真誠的聲音吧!音樂作品

這個女人的歌很是狂野。如果你看過《天使之城》--沒錯,是模仿文德斯《欲望之翼》的那部美國文藝片,應該記得Meg Ryan洗澡的那個鏡頭,有那么一首以A-Ha貫穿前奏,並伴隨有力卻清細聲線唱的那首歌,正是她的Feelin' Love。(當年那個電影的原聲還引出我個人的一段經歷來著,自然記得很是清楚,呵呵...)我買的還是卡帶,也沒有聽過太多次,但印象很深刻,尤其是Tiger的咆哮,Where Have All The Cowboys Gone的訴說,Feelin' Love的率性...總之這張專輯絕對是那種一聽就感覺不同的東西,不是Indie一貫的冗長憂鬱,喜歡她的某種情緒,潑辣,就像我們住在北方的女子一樣,這樣狂野的女人絕對是Janis Joplin,Kim Gordon這樣的搖滾女性群中的一員。
轉Amazon的介紹:
After a promising but overlooked debut album, Paula Cole kept the bills paid with a fateful stint as Peter Gabriel's vocal foil on his 1994 Secret World tour. Gabriel's immersion in richly theatrical, primal vocals only magnified Cole's already fevered attack; it's obvious that his sense of adventure as a producer and writer also struck conceptual sparks with the Massachusetts singer-songwriter. This Fire, Cole's self-produced 1996 breakthrough, finds her investing her songs with outsized emotions, framed by consistently inventive arrangements built around Cole's keyboards, and reaching a zeitgeist-piercing intensity on "Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?" and "I Don't Want to Wait," making Cole seem very much like Fiona Apple's older, slightly less cracked sister. --Sam Sutherland
