专辑介绍:
Matisyahu blasts off with his 4th album Spark Seeker, produced by Kool Kojack (Nicki Minaj, Travis Barker, Ke$ha). This bold new studio album finds the one-of-a-kind vocalist and songwriter exploring uncharted territory with help from an expansive cast of collaborators. My musical tastes are all over the board, he says in reference to a record that mixes ancient traditional sounds with futuristic electro beats, rapping with singing, songs of the spirit with songs of the body. My music is about searching out inspiration wherever it lies. This album is about seeking that spark within.
Since first emerging on the international stage in 2005, Matisyahu has established a reputation for transcending boundaries- from the stripped-down roots reggae of the gold-certified Live at Stubb s to the trippy ministrations of the Grammy nominated Youth to the polished pop eclecticism of Light. Then, in 2010, he returned to the venerable Austin venue that introduced him for Live at Stubb s, Vol. II, demonstrating that all of his travels had only strengthened his connection to his musical bedrock. Selling over 2 million albums worldwide, it was a whirlwind half-decade journey, one that earned Matisyahu a place in pop culture at large.
Matisyahu,这位成长於纽约的青年,在雷鬼乐歌谣传统中觅得信仰的真谛。因此他成了世上极少数(若不是唯一)以典型犹太人模样及身分演唱雷鬼乐的歌手。这样说来,难免有哗众取宠之嫌,可他并未将这简直是行销利器的特色大作文章而失之浅薄,更多时候他像是背负着使命的传教士,透过音乐将讯息传递出去。因而更难想像他年少时竟是不愿从父母之意上希伯来课程,脚汲拖鞋过着嬉皮生活。《Youth》是叛逆的犹太青年Matisyahu(原名叫Matthew Miller)在大公司发行的第一张专辑。Matisyahu曾在2004年和2005年分别发行首张专辑《Shake Off the Dust...Arise》和一张现场专辑《Live at Stubb's》,但都没得到媒体和歌迷过多地关注,而随着这张《Youth》的出炉,之前一直默默无闻的Matisyahu一夜之间便创造了历史。《Youth》在发行后第一周的销量达到11万9千张,创纪录的成为从1991年Nielsen SoundScan专辑销量统计系统诞生以来发行首周销量最高的雷鬼乐专辑。这一成绩超过了此前进入过Billboard 200专辑榜前十的西恩·保罗(Sean Paul),Snow,Shaggy,UB40组合,达米安·马莱(Damian "Jr. Gong" Marley)以及大名鼎鼎的鲍勃·马莱(Bob Marley)等其他雷鬼艺人,而以前的纪录由Sean Paul去年的专辑《The Trinity》创造。
编辑本段特点
从音乐上来看,Matisyahu在《Youth》中将说唱,民谣,流行舞曲等各种丰富的音乐元素融入到了传统的雷鬼音乐当中,他的音乐更像是Damian Marley和Shaggy的混合体。《Fire Of Heaven / Altar Of Earth》和《Youth》是典型的雷鬼风格的歌曲,而在《Indestructible》中,Matisyahu的“说功”丝毫不比任何一位说唱歌手逊色。本张专辑中最为“特别”的歌曲要属《What I'm Fighting For》,随着简单的木吉他扫弦,Matisyahu将支撑自己奋斗多年的理由娓娓道来。
毫无疑问,《Youth》是Matisyahu到目前为止最为成功的一张专辑,无论是音乐上还是商业上。正如本张专辑的封面,经过多年打拼的Matisyahu用这张唱片打开了主流音乐市场的大门,进入到了大众乐迷的视线当中。
他的歌曲《one day》作为NBA2K10的背景音乐中最受欢迎的一个,还被收录到了2010南非世界杯官方专辑《聆听世界杯》当中
