昨天那篇JustJared的MV review是跟五首专辑曲的review一起刊出的。 Five song Album Review http://justjared.buzznet.com/2011/05/11/beyonce-4-album-preview/ 百度网友翻译：http://tieba.baidu.com/f?kz=1076809900 Beyonce '4' Album Preview - EXCLUSIVE Beyonce held a preview listening party for her upcoming album, 4, at the NYC offices of Sony Music on Wednesday afternoon (May 11). 5/11下午在Sony Music纽约办公室举办新专辑4的试听会。 About a dozen of her super fans watched the “Run The World (Girls)” video in a conference room before the 29-year-old global superstar came in and surprised everyone, shaking hands and hugging every single person in the room. (One of her fansites BeyonceWorld even flew in from Australia!) 参与的人士是媒体以及歌迷。 看完了MV後Bee走进试听室跟每个人握手与拥抱。 BeyonceWorld这个歌迷站的歌迷甚至是从澳洲专程飞来纽约的。 “When editing the DVD [for Beyonce: I Am... World Tour], I noticed that the tone of my voice is different live [than my recording one],” Beyonce told JustJared.com. “So I used that live performance tone throughout the record.” Bee说在做I Am... World Tour的後制时， 发现她唱live的声音跟录音室是有差异的， 这次的新专辑她要用唱live的方式来呈现。 B then sat down, grabbed a bottle of Pellegrino sparkling water, and played five new tracks for the room. 她坐下来喝了口Pellegrino矿泉水， 开始播专辑曲给大家试听。 “I wanted to do something refreshing and different,” Beyonce told JustJared.com. “So I mixed genres and drew inspiration from touring, traveling, watching rock bands, and attending festivals… I was like a mad scientist, putting lots of different songs together.” Bee说这次她要做些新鲜且不一样的， 她混合了不同的音乐类型， 并以巡演、旅游、看摇滚乐团表演以及参加各种音乐季为灵感。 她觉得自己像是科学家， 把很多不同的音乐调合在一起。 Click inside for JustJared.com’s preview of “4?… Beyonce ‘4? Album Preview - JustJared.com Exclusive SONG #1 ———- Part of the song, tentatively titled “Till The End of Time,” has already leaked on YouTube. “The bass line was inspired by [Nigerian musician and composer] Fela Kuti,” Beyonce shared with JustJared.com. “It’ s my nephew Julez’s favorite song.” (JJ Tidbit: Jay-Z produced the Broadway musical Fela! about the late Nigerian singer.) 第一首歌曲有被以Till The End of Time这个歌名流出片段来。 灵感来自奈及利亚传奇音乐人Fela Kuti， 这首歌是她侄子Julez最喜欢的歌曲。 （Jay-Z制作的音乐剧Fela!就是关於Fela Kuti。） Here are some sample lyrics: “I wanna love you so (hit me)/ I will be the one to kiss you at night… Come on take my hand/ I won’t let you go/ I’ll be your friend/ I will love you so… Turn your rain into sun… Say you’ll never let me go.” SONG #2 ———- This mid-tempo song has lots of drums much like “Run The World.” “Babyface wrote the song,” Beyonce told JustJared.com. The track is about karma and revenge and kicks off with, “What goes around comes back around.” Some key phrases from the song include, “Best thing I’ve ever had ” and “Best thing you’ve never had.” The best line in the song goes, “ You showed your ass, baby I saw the real you.” The song closes with, “Sucks to be you right now.” 这首歌是由Babyface创作， 跟Run The World一样运用了很多鼓为元素。 内容是关於因果与报复。 SONG #3 ———- This ballad is moody and dark. It’s a song that will really sit with you, rather than be an instant smash hit. One fan asked Beyonce if she was crying at the beginning of the song because it sounded like she was. “Almost,” she responded. “I was on the verge.” 这是首灰暗的抒情曲， 可能不会是一首迅速大卖的歌曲， 但将会非常的贴近你。 有歌迷问Bee在歌曲开头是不是哭了？ Bee说她几乎快哭出来了。 Jeff Bhasker penned this song, Beyonce confirmed. “It’s one of my favorite songs [off of the album],” she said. 这首歌是Jeff Bhasker写的， 是Bee这张专辑最喜欢的歌曲之一。 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jeff_Bhasker Some sample lyrics: “I told you how you hurt me/ I’m crying and deserted but you don’t care/ Nobody told me this is love/ You’re immune to all my pain/ This is love but that’s okay… But I care/ I know you don’t care too much/ But I still care.” SONG #4 ———- This track starts off the lyrics “killing me softly” and samples Boyz II Men’s “Uhh Ahh.” Beyonce uses the countdown and sings between each decremental number “10, 9, 8…” 以killing me softly这歌词作开头， 这首歌取样了Boyz II Men的Uhh Ahh。 Bee在从十开始的数字倒数间唱这首歌。 “Boyz II Men were the first ones to put Destiny’s Child on tour,” Beyonce told JustJared.com. “They showed us how to treat an opening act and I will never forget that. That was 15 years ago! Wow, 15 years! (laughs) I’m old.” Boyz II Men是最早邀请Destiny's Child做演唱会开场的艺人， 他们展示了歌手该如何对待帮忙为演唱会开场的艺人， 她永远不会忘记。 这竟然已经是十五年前的事了， Bee说她已经老了。 Some sample lyrics: “Dedicated to the one I love… diamonds in that chain… Riding that pony.. showing him how you ride… If you leave me, you’re out of your mind. London, speed it up. Houston, rock it.” What did Jay-Z think of this song? “He liked it,” Beyonce told JustJared.com. “I don’t think he was dissecting it, just thinking of what he could do to it as a rapper.” Jay-Z对这首歌的想法？ Bee说Jay-Z喜欢这首歌。 她不觉得他有仔细的剖析这首歌， 而是以饶舌歌手的角度来看他可以做些什麽。 SONG #5 ———- Beyonce had the lights turned down for this beautiful ballad. Here’s how the song starts: “If I ain’t got nothing, I got you/ If I ain’ t got something, I don’t give a damn/ Because I got here…” 在试听这首美丽的抒情曲时， Bee把试听室的灯光关掉。 “I don’t know much about algebra but one plus one is two,” she croons. “ He ain’t got nothing but love. Darling, you got enough for the both of us. Make love when my days look low, pull me in close.” “RUN THE WORLD (GIRLS)” VIDEO ———- It’s everything we hoped it would be - amazing! (Watch the 60-second “Run The World” teaser.) The video starts and ends with Beyonce riding her horse. (A lion walks into one of the dance numbers and Beyonce has two giant hyenas on leashes in another scene.) The room went crazy during two parts of the song. The first was when Beyonce sings “eff you” and gives the middle finger (albeit pixelated with a censor). The second was when Beyonce is on her knees, bent backwards, and writhing around in the sand. It’s reminiscent of the sand dance sequence in her “Baby Boy” video The dance sequences were choreographed by her longtime friend Frank Gatson with help from Sheryl Murakami and Mozambican kwaito dance group Tofo Tofo. Beyonce had scoured the Internet and discovered Tofo Tofo on YouTube. The funny thing is they had no idea who Beyonce was when she reached out to them! (Tofo Tofo gets down with Beyonce in a few of the dance numbers.) Beyonce had walked into the room after her fans watched the “Run the World” video, so after the album preview, she had the video played again. “I’ve never watched it with a group of people before, so I’m excited,” she said. So the fans got to see the video not once, but twice! After the album preview and video screening, Beyonce thanked everyone in the room for coming and said she had to go rehearse for her next “thing.” She has so many “things” coming up, we’re all so excited! --
