“RED (Taylor’s Version) Makes a Classic Even Better”

"RED (Taylor's Version) "，让经典更上一层楼

Rolling Stone (100): 

The new Red is even bigger, glossier, deeper, casually crueler. It’s the ultimate version of her most gloriously ambitious mega-pop manifesto.

新版的RED更宏大，更光彩夺目，更深刻，同时也更残酷。这是斯威夫特最具野心的终极流行宣言。

P.S. 此处的“casually crueler”是化用歌曲All Too Well的歌词。这篇乐评是Rob写的，按照她之前的乐评风格，此处也许仅仅代表她非常熟悉泰勒斯威夫特。

Spin (90) :

Taylor Swift Remakes HeartbreakOdyssey with Red (Taylor’s Version). It was the ultimate millennial breakup album, a touchstone of lovelorndevastation, fury, hope and reflection for all those suburban teens and twenty-somethings similarly figuring their shit out — the era of “happy, free, confused and lonely at the same time.”

泰勒斯威夫特新编出令人心碎的“红色“奥德赛史诗。这是千禧年的终极分手专辑，对于那些普通青少年和二十多岁的年轻人来说，这张专辑是他们失恋的毁灭、愤怒、希望和反思的试金石。这张专辑让这些有着相似经历的年轻人终于明白是什么困扰着他们——是这个“快乐、自由、困惑与孤独共存”的时代。

Pitchfork(85):

If you haven’t listened to Red, recently or ever, it’s well worth your time; in its ecstatic, expressive vocals, tart humor, vivid imagery, and tender attention to the nuances of love and loss, you’ll find everything that makes Taylor Swift great.

如果你从来没有听过"RED"或者有段日子没听过它了，你得知道，这首歌是完全值得花时间一听再听的。在泰勒引人入胜、情绪饱满的声线中，藏有锋利的隐喻、生动的意象，以及对爱中得失的细微揣摩……你能发现泰勒斯威夫特成为巨星的原因。

"30" is Adele's fourth studio album and the first one to be released since 2015.

"30"是阿黛尔第四张录音室专辑，也是她自2015年以来发行的第一张专辑。

Her debut single from the new collection, "Easy on Me," blew up on the charts and streaming services.

标志着专辑问世的单曲"Easy on Me"在各大流媒体平台榜单上大爆。

As the album that follows her divorce from the father of her son Angelo, 30 could prove to be one trip too many to the well of heartbreak that’s served as the main theme of her records to date, with diminishing musical benefit by the time 25 came along.

这张专辑发行于阿黛尔和儿子Angelo的父亲离婚后。"25"发行后，即便阿黛尔在音乐上的收益有所减退，但"30"延续了迄今为止阿黛尔专辑一贯的哀伤风格，展现了她走到心碎深渊的心路历程。

It is worth noting that, following the release of her album “30” on Friday, Spotify removed its default shuffle setting at her urging and will now automatically play tracks in the order they appear on the album.

值得关注的是，周五，阿黛尔的专辑发布后，Spotify在她的要求下取消了默认的随机播放设置。现在，该平台会自动按照专辑设定的顺序播放其中的歌曲。

“This was the only request I had in our ever changing industry!” Adele wrote on Twitter on Saturday. “We don’t create albums with so much care and thought into our track listing for no reason. Our art tells a story and our stories should be listened to as we intended. ”

“在瞬息万变的音乐行业，这是我唯一的希求。”周六，阿黛尔在她的个人推特上写道。“我们在创作专辑时，对歌曲顺序的先后排序是经过精心设计的。我们的艺术作品在讲故事，而这个故事应该以我们创作者所希望的方式被听见。”

"'30' Is the Best Adele Album Yet" reads the headline from Rolling Stone's five out five stars review.

Rolling Stone给予"30"五星的满分评价。评价的标题是：“"30"是阿黛尔迄今为止最棒的专辑。”

Rolling Stone (100):

Adele has never sounded more ferocious than she does on 30—more alive to her own feelings, more virtuosic at shaping them into songs in the key of her own damn life. It’s her toughest, most powerful album yet.

阿黛尔在"30"中的歌声比她在以往的音乐中表现的更加强烈。她比以往更加清楚自己心中的感情；她把自己厌倦了的生活作为新曲的主旨，将她心中的感情完美融入了这些歌曲，且比以往做得更为精湛。这是她迄今所发的最坚韧、最有力的一张专辑。

Variety (93):

An album that meets the breach with enough wrenching, life-and-death drama to leave you completely spent by the time its hour is up, then ready to immediately reinvest. Because, besides being that exhausting, it’s also that good.

归功于专辑中充满痛苦的、关系生死的戏剧张力，这张专辑取得了突破性的成就。这些饱含戏剧性的音乐让你能一口气把这张专辑从头到尾听完，然后立即做好再听一遍的准备。因为，即便听过一遍之后你会感觉筋疲力尽，它还是好到能让你百听不厌。

Spin (90):

While more sonically ambitious in moments with bits of synth and vocal effects, 30 mostly stays the course of past Adele works: undeniable melody over gimmicks , piano and guitar built to transcend.

虽然阿黛尔在这张专辑中的某些片段将合成器与人声效果并用，显现出了她在音乐上更加广大的雄心，但"30"还是更多贯彻了以往阿黛尔作品的风格：毋庸置疑，动听的旋律超越了技法的噱头，而这种超越源于钢琴和吉他的绝妙运用。

The nine-track project, inspired by 1970s funk, soul and R&B music, guest-hosted by funk legend Bootsy Collins, includes the two-week Billboard Hot 100 No. 1 hit “Leave the Door Open,” as well as the previously released “Skate” and “Smokin Out the Window.”

这张由九支单曲组成的专辑，受1970年代的放克、灵魂乐和R&B曲风启发创作而成。专辑特别邀请到了放克乐的传奇人物Bootsy Collins作为合作创作者。专辑收录了先前已发布的三首歌曲，包括在公告牌百强单曲榜上获得两周冠军的"Leave the Door Open"，以及先行曲"Skate"和"Smokin Out the Window"。

Silk Sonic is made up of solo stars Bruno Mars and Anderson .Paak, who met while touring together in Europe in 2017 on Mars’ 24K Magic World Tour. Mars told Apple Music in March that one of the songs on the album dates back to a phrase he came up with on that tour, which quickly morphed into a hook that “snowballed” into seriously intense studio sessions.

Silk Sonic是由Bruno Mars（“火星哥”布鲁诺•马尔斯）和Anderson .Paak（安德森•帕克）组成的双人组合。两人于2017年，在火星哥的"24K Magic"全球巡演的欧洲场次初遇。火星哥在今年三月的采访中告诉Apple Music，这张专辑里的有一首歌，可以追溯到那轮巡演时他偶然想到的一个词语。这个词语很快被扩展为一段旋律，最终如滚雪球般变成了正式的录音室作品。

NME (100): 

On "An Evening With Silk Sonic", the magic is in the way that the music moves: the songs are radiant and full of joy, formed from the synergy of two relentlessly creative minds. The album glows with appreciation for the simple but irreplaceable power of working alongside someone you trust and respect like no other — and it sounds as effortless and rewarding as an old friendship.

"An Evening With Silk Sonic"的魅力在于音乐的律动：歌曲光芒四射，充满欢乐，这是两个充满创造力的人共同努力的结果。这张专辑洋溢着与一个你无比信任且尊重的人一起工作的简单而不可替代的喜悦。两人在轻松融洽的相处中创作出意义丰富的作品，宛如相识很久的知音。

Pitchfork (64): 

Teased since March of this year, leading to a promotional cycle that’s lasted nearly nine months, it arrives burdened with more hype and attention than its songs should have been asked to bear. Could they have made a weirder, more surprising version of this record? Absolutely. But as they’ve insisted from the start, it’s not that deep.

今年3月以来，这张专辑就不被看好，持续近9个月的宣传周期使它背负着超越作品本身应承受的关注。他们能做出更奇怪、 更令人惊讶的唱片版本吗？绝对可以。但正如他们从一开始就认为的那样，这张专辑的内涵没有那么深刻。

Variety (93):

Wisely, at just a half hour in length, the album doesn’t outstay its welcome, and although not every song is great, the vibe carries through from end to end — and once it’s over there’s no way you’re not playing it again.

这张专辑明智地将时长控制在半小时，刚好不会令听众厌烦。尽管并不是每一首歌都很棒，但这张专辑的氛围感贯穿始终，专辑一结束人们就控制不住开始循环播放。
