The 22-year-old London singer?Nilüfer Yanya?makes jazz-pop that feels both effortless and urgent. Though her instrumentation is sparse—usually just guitar, saxophone, and drums—and her voice is mellow, Yanya’s hooks are always rife with dizzying romantic insight. On last year’s single “Baby Luv,” the repeated phrase “again, do you like pain?” relayed the many facets of Yanya’s heartache, her tone oscillating between an accusation and a plea. On her new single, “Thanks 4 Nothing,” Yanya continues playing with the tension between her nonchalance and her anger, this time articulating her frustration surrounding a failed relationship that her ex won’t leave in the past.
22歲的倫敦歌手Nilüfer Yanya制作的爵士流行樂(lè)聽(tīng)感上既輕松又緊迫。雖然她的樂(lè)器很稀疏簡(jiǎn)單——通常只有吉他、薩克斯和鼓——而且她的聲音很圓潤(rùn),但Yanya的Hook總是充斥著令人眩暈的浪漫洞察力。在去年的單曲“Baby Luv”中,重復(fù)的短語(yǔ)“again, do you like pain?”轉(zhuǎn)述了Yanya所經(jīng)歷心痛的諸多方面,她的語(yǔ)氣在指控和懇求之間搖擺不定。在她的新單曲 “Thanks 4 Nothing”中,Yanya繼續(xù)被玩弄于她的不冷靜和她的憤怒之間,徘徊、焦灼,這一次她袒露了她對(duì)一段失敗戀情的挫折感,她難以把她的前任從過(guò)去的記憶中剔除干凈。
On “Thanks 4 Nothing,” Yanya confronts an ex who is trying to win her back after treating her badly—and on a first listen, it seems that she is unfazed as she rejects him. A voice as understated as Yanya’s could easily sound bored or removed, especially in contrast to the sunny guitar riff that introduces this song, but her masterful use of pauses indicates the deep passion bubbling just below her cool facade. This effect reaches its height at the chorus, when, elevated by a dramatic staccato guitar solo, Yanya lands her most explicit blow: “I don’t want to make things better/Thanks for nothing/Lasts forever,” she sings. Yanya may feel like she has nothing to show after her relationship deteriorates, but the music she makes out of this frustration is riveting.
在 "Thanks 4 Nothing "中,Yanya面對(duì)的是一個(gè)曾對(duì)她百般折磨如今卻試圖贏回她的前男友——在初聽(tīng)時(shí),她并未受到影響,置身事外,她嚴(yán)詞拒絕了他。像Yanya這樣低調(diào)、平淡的聲音很容易讓人覺(jué)得無(wú)聊或不耐煩,特別當(dāng)同這首歌的積極陽(yáng)光的吉他riff相比,但從她對(duì)停頓的巧妙運(yùn)用可以看出,在她冷靜的外表下,有著一種深沉的激情在涌動(dòng)。這種效果在副歌部分達(dá)到了頂峰,在精彩絕倫的吉他獨(dú)奏的烘托下,Yanya發(fā)出了她最明確的回?fù)?。她唱道:“I don't want to make things better/Thanks for nothing/Lasts forever”。在她的關(guān)系惡化后,Yanya可能覺(jué)得她一無(wú)所有、一事無(wú)成,但她從這種挫折感中汲取靈感做出的音樂(lè)尤為引人入勝。
