2016-10-21 普特英语听力网 普特考试小助手

歌手简介:

Eminem是美国的著名说唱歌手。其音乐风格类型为:Hardcore Rap(硬核说唱)。埃米纳姆最大的突破就是证明白人也能介入到黑人一统天下的说唱(RAP)界中,而且获得巨大的成功。同时他的叛逆不仅长期以来深受美国青少年喜爱,也让他在舆论中始终遭到抨击。Eminem获得的奖杯总数窜至历史第三位,居麦当娜和皮特-加布里埃尔之后。就在2011年8月,《滚石》将其评选为“嘻哈之王”。




创作背景:

歌曲创作于2004年,埃米纳姆在同年的5月至6月在美国加利福利亚州完成录制。这是一首写给自己宝贝女儿海莉的歌曲。2002年,埃米纳姆与妻子金离婚,埃米纳姆认为他没能给海莉带来幸福的生活,于是写了这首歌曲来向海莉道歉。埃米纳姆还在歌词里写了发生在孩子身上的许多事情,埃米纳姆表示这首歌曲可能是他写过最富有感情的歌曲了。副歌中的"Mockingbird"采样来源于一首传统的美国摇篮曲《Hush,Little Baby》。


2005年8月14日,这首歌曲获得第7届青少年选择奖“音乐选择:R&B/嘻哈歌曲”奖项。 2006年2月7日,该首歌获得第48届格莱美奖”最佳说唱表演“奖项提名。


今天普特君为大家推荐一首来自“嘻哈之王”Eminem 写给女儿的英文歌曲《Mockingbird》,相较于以往阿姆其他比较暴力、血腥的说唱歌曲来说,这首歌曲实在是一首暖心之作,简直颠覆了痞子阿姆的形象!今天的这首歌没有浮夸的配器及电子合成,只有简单的钢琴伴奏和鼓点节奏。但是阿姆用自己的说唱表达出了对于女儿海莉的愧疚,将一个宠爱女儿的父亲的形象展示在我们面前,让人不得不感叹铁汉也有柔情的一面呢!一起来听歌吧!
