Paula DeAnda--Walk Away

独孤飘零

昔日的R&B大厂Arista已经很久没有作为了，今夏强势推出的Paula DeAnda被抱以很大期望。从成绩上看，应该也算获得初步的成功，《Doing To Much》在点播上先拔头筹，《Walk Away》紧接着也送上电台，如此密集的宣传攻势，成功为Paula DeAnda打开了局面。聆听这张《Paula DeAnda》，可以充分感受到Arista倾注的心血，但是，若要凭此便一扫颓势，还是比较困难。以前说过Joey Moe走着一条众多白人男孩儿的R&B老路，Paula DeAnda又何尝不是呢？白人女孩儿们高唱粉红色系的少女R&B，也早已没有任何新鲜玩意儿，陷入模式化的僵局。充满少女憧憬的歌词，上口好听的旋律，流行的腔调搭配R&B的节奏，如果这种伪R&B前几年还是万金油的话，现在早已失去效力，因为今年流行的是充满摇滚或朋克气息的个性少女，Paula DeAnda这种乖乖牌，想要出头已然不易。而在艺人定位上，Arista也扮演着[wiki]追随者[/wiki]的角色。从几年前14岁的Mikaila，到去年走红的14岁少女Jojo，再到今天16岁的Paula DeAnda，无论从个人风格亦或演唱技巧都是如此相似，少女R&B这条路几年来已经相当饱和，听过Mikaila的专辑，还会有谁对Paula DeAnda充满渴求呢？何况，为了突出与她们年龄不相称的嗓音条件，这些女孩儿们不约而同的让自己的声音充满力道，Paula DeAnda在专辑中过于卖力的演唱，反而破坏了整体的和谐。毕竟，唱功再优秀，载体也是少女R&B，声音再成熟，年龄也不过16岁。当Jojo凭借首张专辑获得成功之时，Paula DeAnda能从她手中抢走多少听众，只能靠旋律说话。好在《Paula DeAnda》拥有不少好听的歌曲，吸引那些低龄乐迷已经完全足够。专辑制作人有大名鼎鼎的Stargate，还有Frankie J，品质自然不会出错。客串的大牌也不少，从Baby Bash到Lil' Wayne，Arista的众志成城倒也显而易见，不过新晋女Rapper Ak'Sent在《Make A Clap To This》的出现实在让人莫名其妙，倒也凸现Arista商业上的急功近利。客观地说，《Paula DeAnda》是张好听的专辑，但是当视野上升到产业高度之时，却很清晰地看到了这些白人少女们的末路。


Walk away-Paula DeAnda

Yeah, I'm gonna remember you, you're gonna remember me

Yeah, you're gonna remember me boo
I'm gonna remember you too
I can't forget all the crazy shh we used to do
You was doing too much, I wasn't doing enough
That's what your friends say, you got a man anyway
I can't explain them either, I don't wanna leave ya
Hell yeah, it's hard to walk away when I see you
When I see you I remember when the day
You put your shoes on before and moved on before I could say

I saw you with your new girl just yesterday
And I feel that I must confess
Even though it kills me to have to say
I'll admit that I was impressed
I guess I'd call it show of affection
Gotta commend you on your selection
Though I know I shouldn't be concerned
In the back of my mind I can't help but question

Does she rub your feet
When you've had a long day
And scratch your scalp
When you take out your braids
Does she know you like to play PS2
'Til 6 in the morning like I do

I can't explain this feeling (yeah)
I think about it everyday
And even though we've moved on (uh huh)
It gets so hard to walk away
I'm gonna remember you, you're gonna remember me
Walk away
Walk away
(Forever you will live in my memory)
Walk away
I'm gonna remember you, you're gonna remember me
Walk away
I can't forget how we used to be
