" Slow grenade is blowing up
My mistakes, so why don't I
Why don't I stop it? "
最近 Ellie Goulding 推出了新專輯《Brightest Blue》之中的首波主打《Slow Grenade》,這首歌還找來了時下超流行的年輕歌手 Lauv 合作,兩人的聲音非常契合,也在這次的合作之後成為很好的朋友。
自從 2015 年以《Love Me Like You Do》再次爆紅之後,其實 Ellie 一直陸陸續續有推出單曲,但似乎有點漸漸回不到當時的巔峰,希望這次的最新歌曲和專輯作品,能慢慢讓更多人重新注意到她。
這首歌其實有點像是寫出了戀愛中「抖M」的心聲,在一段愛情裡,我們可能常常會面臨風風雨雨,有些人可能明明知道眼前事態即將爆炸,卻仍然享受著被炸個遍體鱗傷的感覺,這種矛盾的心情,卻是許多人都曾經歷過的。
我滿喜歡歌曲的編制,許多地方在我以為就要變成芭樂電音歌曲的一瞬間,它偏偏變得非常純粹、耐聽,而且整首歌你只要聽一遍,旋律就會狠狠地把你洗腦,這就是 Ellie 歌曲最厲害的地方(讓你心甘情願地被洗腦)。
