Olivia Ong
⊙星洲美女延续拉丁情怀
现年20岁,来自新加坡的OLIVIA,全名Olivia Ong,本来由一位在新加坡无名的小女生,变成了乐迷备受赞赏的女歌手。

2004年11月,日本埼玉县stadium内举行了世界杯亚洲区选拔赛,当时比赛是日本对新加坡,赛前Olivia就是在6万名观众之下清唱了新加坡国歌,当时19岁的她以充满魅力的歌声令众人一听难忘,掌声如雷。其后听过她演唱的人更专程往CD店询问她推出的CD,那时她只拥有一张刚发行的流行曲专辑“ Precious Stone”,亦是她的首张个人大碟。

全碟以英文歌为主,充满了电子风格、跳舞节奏(Dance Pop)的一张专辑。虽然演绎跳舞作品,但是她的声音依然使人着迷。

翌年(2005年) 3月,她终于遇上了巴沙诺瓦(Bossa nova),应监制提议,以OLIVIA名义推出了“ a girl meets bossanova”。整张“ a girl meets bossanova”专辑中,OLIVIA用Bossa nova的节奏编排,翻唱了8首英文名曲,其中有为人熟悉的“fly me to the moon”、“My Favorite Things”(来自Sound Of Music”)和“The Girl From Ipanema”(Asturd Gilberto)。轻柔编曲配上温和的声线,深得日本、新加坡等地乐迷热烈好评,她的人气度继而渐渐上升中。

今年年初香港HMD才推荐此专辑,记得当时经过jazz&classical的区域,看见了这张专辑,那是一张日版CD,起初看封面,以为OLIVIA是一位很有型格的日本女生,再者她是唱bossa nova的?!好奇心驱使下决定试听,原来这位日本女生的声音相当悦耳,跟小野丽莎淳厚的声底很不同,OLIVIA的演绎,令这种节奏的音乐加添了许多少女的味道。

早前OLIVIA推出了“ a girl meets bossanova 2 ”,兴bossa nova再续情缘;与此同时,于本月9日推出了流行曲专辑“Tamarillo”,跟上张“ Precious Stone”同样地走跳舞节奏路线。

懷かしい痛み
だわ
ずっと前に忘れていた
でもあなたをみたとき
時間だけ
後戾りしたの
しあわせと聞かないで
うそつくのは上手じゃない
友達ならいるけど
あんなには
燃え上がれなくて
失った夢だけが
美しく見えるのは何故かしら
過ぎ去った優しさも今は
甘い記憶Sweet Memories

Don`t kiss me baby
We can never be
So don`t add more pain
Please don`t hurt me again
I have spend so many nights
Thinking of you
longing for your touch
I have once loved you so much
あのころは若すぎて
惡戲に傷つけあったふたり
色あせた悲しみも今は
遠い記憶 Sweet Memories
失った夢だけが
美しく見えるのは何故かしら
過ぎ去った優しさも今は
甘い記憶Sweet Memories

JUST WAN TO BE ALONE WIF MY DAD..

some say love
it is a river
that drowns
the tender reed
some say love
it is a razor
that leaves your soul to bleed
some say love
it is a hunger
an endless aching need
i say love
it is a flower
and you it’s only seed
it’s
the heart
afraid of breaking
that never learns to dance
it’s
the dream
afraid of walking
that never takes
the chance
it’s
the one
who won’t be taken
who can’t seem to give
and
the soul
afraid of dying
that never learns to live
when
the night
has been too lonely
and
the road
has been too long
and you think
that love is only
for
the lucky
and
the strong
just remember
in
the winter
for beneath
the bitter snow
lies
the seed
that with
the sun’s love
in
the spring
becomes
the rose
