果然大家都對Dean用的這兩個名詞有點小小的不懂,於是他馬上貼出了解釋,保證大家看完豁然開朗。謝謝fansofdavid把這段貼出來分享。
Many of you have emailed asking for examples of these two sounds, and wondering if they are compatible on the same album.
Acoustic = John Mayer, Sara Bareilles. “Organic” music with unadorned instrumentation such as acoustic guitar and piano. These don’t have to be ballads, by the way.
Rhythmic dance beat = Jesse McCartney, Chris Brown, Justin Timberlake. Music you can dance to with synthetic instrumentation; a re-mix style sound. Radio hits.
Can one album successfully encompass both styles? I think yes, if the music is all pulled together as a cohesive whole with a strong vocal signature.
And if the lyrics to the dance-type music are not empty and lame and inane. Yeah, the lyrics not being lame thing is important. Who out there can co-write with David a good dance track with meaningful, humble, innocent lyrics? Justin Timberlake could do it, but you’d have to keep a very close eye on him. Very close.
