Amy Winehouse《You Know I'm No Good》

艾米·怀恩豪斯(Amy Winehouse)是英国近几年涌现出的最有特点的女歌手之一,在2007年度的全英音乐奖中被评出“英国最佳女歌手”。《Back to Black》已经是Amy Winehouse的第二张个人专辑,但却是她首张打入美国Billboard 200排行榜的专辑。在美国上市首周,《Back to Black》以5万1千张的单周销量名列本周Billboard 200专辑榜的第七位。Winehouse的这张专辑能够得到美国歌迷的关注还要得益于主打单曲《You Know I'm No Good》在MTV,VH1和VH1 Soul等各大电视台中的热播。
在新一代的流行女歌手当中,Amy Winehouse的嗓音算是独一无二的。的确,听到Amy Winehouse的歌声,歌迷们自然就会想到Ella Fitzgerald,Billie Holiday等老牌爵士女伶和上世纪60年代像The Supremes那样的老牌灵魂乐组合,而她的声音中还综合有劳伦·希尔(Lauryn Hill)和梅西·格雷(Macy Gray)的味道。在这张《Back To Black》中,Amy不仅再度与制作人Salaam Remi合作,而且还得到了曾成功包装克里斯蒂娜·阿奎莱拉(Christina Aguilera)和罗比·威廉姆斯(Robbie Williams)的Mark Ronson的协助。从音乐方面来看,这张《Back to Black》依然延续了首张专辑《Frank》的路线,但Amy Winehouse在《Back to Black》中明显更加成熟老练一些。一个刚刚23岁的女孩能够把《You Know I'm No Good》,《Back To Black》和《Love Is A Losing Game》这几首怀旧色彩颇浓的歌曲唱出这种味道实在是相当难得。更为难能可贵的是,除了最后一首《He Can Only Hold Her》以外,本张专辑中的九首歌曲都由Amy Winehouse参与创作,而这其中的六首都由她一人独立完成。
虽然刚刚发行了两张个人专辑,但Amy Winehouse不仅在家乡英国大获好评,而且已经开始打开了美国市场。相比另一位来自英国的年轻女歌手Joss Stone,Amy Winehouse的底气明显更足。
Meet you downstairs in the bar and hurt,
Your rolled up sleeves in your skull t-shirt,
You say "Why did you do it with him today?"
And sniffed me out like I was Tanqueray,
'Cause you're my fella, my guy
Hand me your Stella and fly,
By the time I'm out the door,
You tear men down like Roger Moore
I cheated myself,
Like I knew I would
I told you, I was trouble
Amy Winehouse
You know that I'm no good
Upstairs in bed with my ex-boy,
he's in a place but I can't give joy
Thinking on you in the final throes,
This is when my buzzer goes
Run out to meet you, chips and pitta,
You say "when we married,"
Cause you're not bitter,
"there'll be none of him no more"
I cried for you on the kitchen floor
I cheated myself,
Like I knew I would
I told you, I was trouble
You know that I'm no good
Sweet reunion Jamaica and Spain,
We're like how we were again,
I'm in the tub, you on the seat,
Lick your lips as a I soak my feet
Then you notice little carpet burns,
My stomach drops and my guts churn,
You shrug and it's the worst,
To truly stuck the knife in first
I cheated myself,
Like I knew I would
I told you, I was trouble
You know that I'm no good
I cheated myself,
Like I knew I would
I told you, I was trouble
Yeah you know that I'm no good
