借用AMG的定义 In 1975, Smokey Robinson released a smooth, sensuous solo LP of romantic adult soul titled A Quiet Storm. The album eventually gave its name to a style and radio format that aimed to create very similar moods. Quiet Storm also drew inspiration from Marvin Gaye's lush Let's Get It On LP, the orchestrations of Philly soul, and the gentle, ultra-smooth recordings of Al Green. In a way, quiet storm was R&B's answer to soft rock and adult contemporary -- while it was primarily intended for black audiences, quiet storm had the same understated dynamics, relaxed tempos and rhythms, and romantic sentiment. However, there was also an urbane sophistication and subdued soulfulness that marked quiet storm as unmistakably rooted in R&B. Some artists concentrated near-exclusively on the style, but most recorded more uptempo tracks in addition to the ballads that fit the requirements of the radio format. Quiet storm remained popular from the late '70s into the early '90s, when mainstream R&B took on a harder-edged hip-hop influence; as a result, quiet storm found virtually no new practitioners. 很小的时候 ICRT在晚上10点或11点 那位爱搞怪声的Ron Stewart作了一个节目 歌与歌之间都是他的磁性嗓音和流水声 过了很多年之後 才发觉他DJing的东西就是Quiet Storm 我们都知道 地下R&B歌手Brien最喜欢将Quiet Storm的元素放到他的作品里 但是我们却很难知道 还有谁是另一个专心於Quiet Storm的人呢 Gary Taylor 双亲来自多明尼加和贝里斯 成长於美国加州洛杉矶 於80年代拥有Master of the Quiet Storm的美名 从1981年开始发行了八张专辑 但是他主要还是帮人写歌(见网页) 因此在歌唱方面的成就和知名度上 他算是underrated的了 如原文所示 Quiet Storm根本就是...情歌 如那不起眼的小风暴 往往在一瞬间将人给吞噬 爱情嘛 本来就是苦多於喜 会让人感到悲伤的 才是爱情 有过那些不美好且必定不美好的经验 才会对Quiet Storm有体悟的 或者 你本来就是一个易感之人 ♀♂♀♂♀♂♀♂♀♂♀♂♀♂♀♂♀♂♀♂♀♂♀♂♀♂♀♂♀♂♀♂♀♂♀♂♀♂ Morning Crew Music Gary Taylor自组的公司 还在运作中 http://www.morningcrew.com/ http://www.morningcrew.com/biography.htm http://www.morningcrew.com/listening_booth.htm http://www.soulwalking.co.uk/Gary%20Taylor.html 最红的歌曲 Tease Me http://0rz.net/0f1bl Tease Me Remix featuring Gerald Albright and the Whispers 萨克斯风+合声团更上一层楼 http://0rz.net/bd1bR Quiet Storm很不错 是商业R&B中最低调且最有感觉的 --
