As far as weird venues go, a TEDxTeen talk certainly qualifies. It’s where the 22-year old London musician Nilüfer Yanya played an early version of “Baby Luv.” The performance had the feeling of freewheeling open mic, and Yanya opens up at it; before starting her set, she explains that the song is about “suppressing your feelings and not being able to feel the normal things like joy and pain.” This earnestness and heartbreak is the opposite of her previous jazzy pop songs, like “Golden Cage” and “Sliding Doors,” which wiggled with youthful energy and effortless cool.

就獵奇場(chǎng)所而言，TEDxTeen演講比賽當(dāng)然再合適不過(guò)。22歲的倫敦音樂(lè)家Nilüfer Yanya就是在那里演奏了早期版本的“Baby Luv”。演出中她手持麥克風(fēng)收放自如，Yanya徹底地敞開了心扉；在開始表演之前，她解釋說(shuō)，這首歌是關(guān)于“壓抑內(nèi)心情感，無(wú)能去體驗(yàn)正常的事物，哪怕是最習(xí)以為常的快樂(lè)和痛苦?！边@種懇切與心碎同她以前的爵士式流行歌曲截然不同，比如“Golden Cage”和“Sliding Doors”，這些歌曲它們肆意揮灑著青春活力還有不經(jīng)意間流露出的酷勁。

Built around a blunt, dead-simple guitar line, “Baby Luv” hits a different emotional note. In the TEDxTeen show, she played solo, and her voice cracked a few times; the new studio version, adds some sheen, with quiet percussion and subtle synths, but the take is just as raw. There’s not much in the way of a melody or beat, allowing Yanya’s voice to be the focus, strained as she continually repeats “Do you like pain?” and “call me sometime” on the chorus. While the peculiar tunefulness of her timber and the bounce of her delivery remains, hearing her disappointment is affecting. For a young artist, Yanya already has an impressive range, and her ability to render the highs and lows of life in her songs is no small feat.

圍繞著一條直白、簡(jiǎn)易的吉他音軌，“Baby Luv”敲出了一個(gè)不同的情感音符。在TEDxTeen的演出中，她獨(dú)自歌唱，有幾次幾近破音；新發(fā)行的錄音室版本，更具光澤，毫不出挑的打擊樂(lè)和合成器微妙相融，但依舊原始真摯。沒(méi)有過(guò)多的的旋律或節(jié)拍變化，而聚焦于Yanya的聲音，當(dāng)她不斷重復(fù)“Do you like pain?”和“call me sometime”的副歌時(shí)，她的聲音緊繃毫不放松。雖然獨(dú)特的音色音調(diào)和她華語(yǔ)中的輕盈感依舊存在，但我們能聽到失望對(duì)她仍有所影響。對(duì)一個(gè)年輕的藝術(shù)家而言，Yanya已經(jīng)有足夠?qū)拸V音域，同時(shí)她在歌曲中渲染生活的高潮、低谷的高超作為也是不可小覷的成就。
