Lana Del Rey’s affinity for California is so firmly baked into her music that “Doin’ Time,” her cover of?Sublime’s 1996 song for the upcoming documentary about the ska-punk band, seems like it could have appeared on her debut. Adapting Bradley Nowell’s expressive rapping into her own blasé drawl, the track glides on roiling trip-hop percussion similar to the bossa nova version of Gershwin’s “Summertime” sampled in Sublime’s original. But “Doin’ Time” remains decidedly within Del Rey’s wheelhouse, repping Sublime’s hometown of Long Beach with a newly dreamy slant.
Lana?Del Rey對加利福尼亞的熱愛深深地嵌入了她的音樂,她翻唱了Sublime樂隊1996年的單曲“Doin’ Time”,雖然這首單曲是為這支斯卡朋克風(fēng)格樂隊即將上映的紀(jì)錄片而翻唱的,它卻聽起來仿佛能收入她自己的首張專輯一樣。這首歌將Bradley?Nowell在原曲中出色的說唱改編成她自己懶懶的哼唱,伴隨著迷幻舞曲風(fēng)格的打擊樂,類似于Sublime樂隊在原曲中采樣了Gershwin的“Summertime”的波薩諾瓦舞曲版本。但是“Doin’ Time”仍舊完全處于Del?Rey的掌控之中,用一種全新的夢幻曲風(fēng)演繹著Sublime樂隊的家鄉(xiāng)長灘。
Coming on the heels of Del Rey’s?recent clear-eyed singles, “Doin’ Time” feels especially lightweight, a return to the well-established beachside flavor of “High by the Beach” or her 2012?Paradise?EP. But Del Rey includes her own unique touch: On the song’s bridge, her voice rises to an airy, youthful tone backed by reedy ad-libs, transmuting Nowell’s “evil woman” tirade into a gender-flipped interpretation that adds a layer of complexity to a song that decidedly has very little. Del Rey’s hazy version of “Doin’ Time” will most likely remain a small treat in her discography, perfect for soundtracking barbecues all summer, but its low calorie count shouldn’t dissuade you from enjoying the song’s simple pleasures.
在Del?Rey最近幾首富有深意的單曲的襯托下,“Doin’ Time”讓人感到格外的輕簡,像是回歸了單曲“High by the Beach”或者2012年的EP《Paradise》中她駕輕就熟的那種沙灘風(fēng)情。但是Del?Rey加入了她自己獨特的想法:在歌曲的橋段中,她的聲音上升到了一種輕快、青春洋溢的音調(diào),搭配著尖細(xì)的即興演唱,將Nowell原版中對于“evil?woman(壞女人)”的埋怨變成了一種性別互換的理解,為這首十分簡單的歌添上了一層復(fù)雜感。Del?Rey這首帶有朦朧感的翻唱版 “Doin’ Time” 很可能會成為她眾多音樂作品中的一個小甜品,很適合作為夏日燒烤的背景音樂,但是它的低卡路里含量不代表你應(yīng)該停止享受它帶來的簡單快樂。
