借用AMG的定義
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.
很小的時候
ICRT在晚上10點或11點
那位愛搞怪聲的Ron Stewart作了一個節目
歌與歌之間都是他的磁性嗓音和流水聲
過了很多年之後
才發覺他DJing的東西就是Quiet Storm
我們都知道
地下R&B歌手Brien最喜歡將Quiet Storm的元素放到他的作品裡
但是我們卻很難知道
還有誰是另一個專心於Quiet Storm的人呢
Gary Taylor
雙親來自多明尼加和貝里斯
成長於美國加州洛杉磯
於80年代擁有Master of the Quiet Storm的美名
從1981年開始發行了八張專輯
但是他主要還是幫人寫歌(見網頁)
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
如那不起眼的小風暴
往往在一瞬間將人給吞噬
愛情嘛
本來就是苦多於喜
會讓人感到悲傷的
才是愛情
有過那些不美好且必定不美好的經驗
才會對Quiet Storm有體悟的
或者
你本來就是一個易感之人

Quiet Storm很不錯
是商業R&B中最低調且最有感覺的
