Jon McLaughlin的音樂屬于那種即使停止以后也會(huì)久繞你心田的回味.簡(jiǎn)單來說,對(duì)于他的表演技藝只能用"特別","唯一"來形容.同時(shí),他對(duì)音樂的結(jié)合以及那不經(jīng)意間的交流都會(huì)讓極大部分的觀眾感到親切. 　　作為在印第安納安德森的一個(gè)年輕的鋼琴手,jon每天都將大量的時(shí)間投入音樂上---所說所想用歌詞和旋律來表達(dá).不幸的是,他的兩只手腕在一次事故中粉碎性骨折后,鋼琴的彈奏不得不從他生活的主流退出.直到他高中的高年級(jí)時(shí),當(dāng)他再一次的坐了下來,他才又重新找回對(duì)藝術(shù)的熱情. jon的歌曲寫作能力是在他被安德森音樂學(xué)院錄用以后才算真的成形. 　　在那里,不知他花了多少時(shí)間來為這第一張專輯打下堅(jiān)實(shí)的基礎(chǔ). 因?yàn)樗鞘芰藢I(yè)訓(xùn)練的耳朵,還有Ben Folds 和 Billy Joel對(duì)他的影響,Jon McLaughlin形成了他所特有的鋼琴搖滾風(fēng)格,并創(chuàng)造出了一種讓聽眾興奮,覆蓋整個(gè)舞臺(tái)的獨(dú)有聲效. 　　這張自我命名的首張專輯具有強(qiáng)勢(shì)的音樂背景,開場(chǎng)就是Some Tight Fix的funk-rock(鄉(xiāng)村搖滾),然后再到Blue Skies的輕柔jazz,Once Again中像冰美人般的優(yōu)雅,Loving Me中的簡(jiǎn)單古典piano(鋼琴),結(jié)束時(shí)又回到專輯中的第一支單曲,Throwing A Line狂歡時(shí)刻的piano-roll(鋼琴搖滾). 　　這張專輯,jon從自己的視角像聽眾講述了人生中的起起伏伏,不得不讓你也期望你的人生也能像這音樂般美好.他用那洶涌般表述心聲的歌詞和代給耳朵的愉悅,喚醒了獨(dú)立音樂界,并對(duì)piano-rock(鋼琴搖滾)賦予了新的內(nèi)涵 Born and raised in Anderson, IN, Jon McLaughlin (and all of his siblings) began taking classical piano lessons at an early age. Though he lost interest in it during high school, not helped by an accident that injured both wrists, during his senior year he realized how fully he could incorporate the instrument into the pop music he enjoyed more. McLaughlin decided to attend the local music college, where he studied piano and spent his free time writing songs, eventually winning a competition at the school that allowed him to release his self-titled debut in 2004. The following year the EP Songs I Wrote and Later Recorded came out, and shortly after, McLaughlin was given the opportunity to audition for three major labels. One of them, Island, signed him, and in 2007 Indiana, an album that included re-recorded versions of two songs from his first effort, hit shelves. Later that year McLaughlin made an appearance singing a song in the movie Enchanted. 更多>>
