the puppini sisters

the puppini sisters是一支三女子組成的樂隊。

一支三女子組成的樂隊，叫人聯想到不久前以小圓點裙亮相的the pipettes。她們的故事源於《瘋狂約會美麗都》。畢業於劍橋大學三一學院的意籍女子Marcella Puppini，從卡通片《瘋狂約會美麗都》中受到啟發，召集兩個同學一起組建了“Puppini姐妹花”合唱團。處女作收錄了16首曾為她們的音樂背景帶來影響的歌曲，完全針對三聲部和聲，復活了Andrews姐妹花的Doo Wop名曲\'Bei Mir Bist Du Schon\'(\'38年)及經典搖擺\'Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy\'(\'41年)，德國反戰女星Marlene Dietrich在電影《藍天使》中所唱的一曲\'Falling In Love Again\'(\'30年)，Chordettes姐妹花的戰後金曲\'Mr.Sandman\'(\'54年)，黑人合唱團The Ink Spots的\'Java Jive\'(\'39年)，Louis Armstrong的兩首世紀典藏之作，以及原名Quien Será、由墨西哥音樂家Pablo Beltran Ruiz創作、1953年由英國人Norman Gimbel加上英語歌詞的經典Tango/Mambo作品\'Sway\'。特別有趣的是，Puppini姐妹花對史上搖滾經典也獻上了敬意，如Kate Bush十九歲所寫的成名曲\'Wuthering Heights\' 和 The Smiths 1986年的榜首單曲\'Panic\'，甚至紅遍大洋兩岸的New Wave開山之作——收錄在 Blondie 1978年專輯中的\'Heart Of Glass\'。大波浪燙髮，烈焰唇紅，束腰連衣裙，圓頭淺口高跟鞋，Chanel款經典珍珠項鍊，仿佛又回到了三四十年代Big Band、Bebop的全盛時期。

From the first strains of the opening track, "Sisters," it's clear that Betcha Bottom Dollar is not a typical debut album. But then the Puppini Sisters are not a typical pop act, at least not in the 21st century. Their close, three-part harmonies are reminiscent of the vocal groups of the 1930s and 1940s, and particularly the Andrews Sisters. But rather than sounding like an anachronism, the Puppini Sisters merely demonstrate the timelessness of some of these songs. Betcha Bottom Dollar is fresh, fun and vibrant, blowing the dust off of cobwebby classics like "Boogie Woogie Bugle Boy" and "Mr. Sandman". Elsewhere, they also put their own unique stamp on more recent hits, with varying results. While Kate Bush's "Wuthering Heights" and Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive" fail to get things swinging, Blondie's "Heart of Glass" and the Smiths' "Panic" are both injected with a fresh new (old?) sound. Much credit must also be given to producer Benoit Charest, who manages to employ a whole host of instrumentation and orchestration, whilst never forgetting to put the voices of the Puppini Sisters front and centre. It might be easy to dismiss the Puppini Sisters' debut as another novelty album, but their intentions and love for the style--like their voices themselves--are crystal clear. --Robert Burrow (From Amazon.co.uk)
