老牌拉丁吉他之王Santana最新的新歌加精选.除了收入多首2000年前后的大热作品外,还有几首70年代的代表作.对于我这样很少接触老人家早期作品的人来说,这些作品给了我更多机会了解他不同于现在的一面.
而四首新歌,除了第一首流行摇滚风味的<Into The Night>(找来了专辑在美国持续热卖的加拿大摇滚天团Nickelback的主唱Chad Kroeger),第二首带有明显HIP-HOP和拉丁风情的<This Boy's Fire>(这首卖点明显是最近不怎么走运的J.LO)是近期录制的以外,更吸引我眼球的是曾在02年暴红,并且和Michelle Branch还拿到一座最佳流行合唱的Grammy奖座的<The Game of Love>原来还有一个和老辣的摇滚皇后Tina Turner合作的版本.而这一版,完全不同于Michelle Branch那一版的清新和甜美,同样流畅的曲调,由Tina来演绎,却有着别样的风情和精彩,就象一杯陈年的美酒,醇厚馥郁,绝对不缺乏回味.........如果说Michelle的版本是两种风格不同的两代人之间碰撞的结果,Tina这版却是象量体裁衣般的贴合和舒服......... 专辑最后的新歌Interplanetary Party则是首醒神的热闹拉丁派队歌,轻松而惬意,为这场难得的音乐飨宴划上了完美的句点~
