甜蜜、繾綣、缠绵、性感,在听这张碟的时候,在我脑中跳出的就是这些个爱恋时分的词,一如套封所表现那种美丽的性感。跳动的鼓点敲在心上,低音贝司牵动著迷乱的脉博,细腻、如诉的乐句,忽尔温宛、忽尔清亮,层层递进,让人回味起一切美好、甜蜜、意乱情迷的激情时分......
Boney James 鲍尼·詹姆斯,流行爵士乐界的天王巨星,他的萨克斯向来是被誉为最性感的,在近年的各项相关奖项与统计中,他几乎囊括了所有的荣耀与光环。这张《Body Language 情话》是 Boney James 1999年的颠峰之作,曾经在Billboard流行爵士榜上独占冠军鰲头达8周之久。
和你相爱的人一起听这张碟吧,开一瓶红酒,穿起你最漂亮的睡衣,点一盏迷朦的红灯,在微醉微醺之际,用你最美好、最感性、最甜蜜的语言在你爱人耳边低诉你的情怀,在这个浪漫背景之中,迷醉在爱恋时光......
Smooth jazz saxophonist James shares more with Kenny G than just a haircut. Like the notorious Mr. G, he's adept at combining pop, jazz and contemporary R&B. James' sax lines drip lugubriously from his slick, glossy arrangements. Sparkling digital synth and programmed rhythms provide a softly syncopated backdrop for the artist's melodies. These soft, sensual tunes are the aural equivalent of immersion in a hot tub (presumably James' exact intention). If you want daring improvisations or harmonic innovation, you'd be best served elsewhere, but if you're looking for unabashed make-out music, BODY LANGUAGE will fill the bill.
