Paula Cole

这个女人的歌很是狂野。如果你看过《天使之城》--没错，是模仿文德斯《欲望之翼》的那部美国文艺片，应该记得Meg Ryan洗澡的那个镜头，有那么一首以A-Ha贯穿前奏，并伴随有力却清细声线唱的那首歌，正是她的Feelin' Love。（当年那个电影的原声还引出我个人的一段经历来着，自然记得很是清楚，呵呵...）

我买的还是卡带，也没有听过太多次，但印象很深刻，尤其是Tiger的咆哮，Where Have All The Cowboys Gone的诉说，Feelin' Love的率性...总之这张专辑绝对是那种一听就感觉不同的东西，不是Indie一贯的冗长忧郁，喜欢她的某种情绪，泼辣，就像我们住在北方的女子一样，这样狂野的女人绝对是Janis Joplin，Kim Gordon这样的摇滚女性群中的一员。

废话不多讲，喜欢的人我强烈推荐下载，太奇特了的专辑，至少当年是这么认为的。

转Amazon的介绍：

After a promising but overlooked debut album, Paula Cole kept the bills paid with a fateful stint as Peter Gabriel's vocal foil on his 1994 Secret World tour. Gabriel's immersion in richly theatrical, primal vocals only magnified Cole's already fevered attack; it's obvious that his sense of adventure as a producer and writer also struck conceptual sparks with the Massachusetts singer-songwriter. This Fire, Cole's self-produced 1996 breakthrough, finds her investing her songs with outsized emotions, framed by consistently inventive arrangements built around Cole's keyboards, and reaching a zeitgeist-piercing intensity on "Where Have All the Cowboys Gone?" and "I Don't Want to Wait," making Cole seem very much like Fiona Apple's older, slightly less cracked sister. --Sam Sutherland
