收錄全新首支單曲千禧年自主女性代表作" No Man』s Woman"、現代節奏藍調演唱的慢
板好歌" Dancing Lessons"、抒情小品" Emma』s Song"
1997年,愛爾蘭籍的新世代搖滾女將辛妮歐康諾(Sinead O』Connor)在原屬的EMI旗
下發行「Gospel Oak」EP之後 (後來轉由Sony發行),樂壇對於她的創作和對於她重新選
擇擁抱宗教的舉動一直保持觀望態度,嚴格來說她1994年的專輯「Universal Mother」
無論在內容主題與音樂編作上,已經足以「洗刷」她1992年專輯「Am I Not Your Girl
」樂評給她『江郎才盡』的微詞,但是面對1997年舊東家發行的精選輯,卻再度讓人更
加對這位傑出的女性搖滾歌手未來的動向產生好奇,最後,等待六年經過精心製作與創
作的全新專輯「信心與勇氣」(Faith And Courage)終於在新加盟的唱片公司Atlantic旗
下發行。
因為Atlantic唱片的全力支援,新專輯中不惜巨資找來Dave Stewart (Eurythmics
團員)、Brian Eno、Wyclef Jean (Fugees團員)及Kevin "She』kspere" Briggs (
Mariah Carey、TLC)等樂壇大老或當紅藝人擔任製作,而這樣堅強的陣容所帶來豐富多
樣化的風格,確實在音樂與歌曲內容上幫助她達成企圖與樂迷分享在這段蟄伏期間對信
仰﹑人性與生命重新體驗的目的。
首支自寫曲「The Healing Room"用reggae/trip hop/dub/trance等混合編曲技巧,
表陳人們在情感受傷和迷惑時別忘了內心自有療傷解放的本能,選自專輯的第一支單曲
「No Man』s Woman"強烈表達女性自立自主的女性主義概念,「Jealous"擁有Dave
Stewart,Jah Wobble,John Reynolds等堅強的樂手陣容,緩板的節拍、靈魂樂的氣氛
陳述忌妒在兩性相處之間造成的不平對待,是一首頗具潛力的單曲,由Wyclef Jean 及
Jerry "Wonder" Duplessis擔任製作的「Dancing Lessons"是辛妮歐康諾少數嘗試用現
代節奏藍調演唱的慢板好歌,「Daddy I』m Fine"完美地融合Hip-Hop/Reggae/Modern
Rock編曲,速度與情緒的轉換拿捏立見功力,「』Till I Whisper U Something"是辛妮
現代藍調搖滾與傳統民謠結合大膽且嶄新的嘗試,「Hold Back The Night"是樂迷熟知
辛妮式由寧靜到磅礡靈魂的吶喊,「The Lamb』s Book Of Life"、「If You Ever"前者
實驗將Reggae、愛爾蘭傳統民謠與靈魂樂銅管混合編曲,後者則更進一步將藍調、傳統
民謠整何在福音歌的架構下,投射對故去的親友真摯的緬懷,而「Emma』s Song"與翻唱
傳統的慈悲經「Kyrie Eleison"兩首簡短的歌曲放在專輯最後恰好有力地反映歌手勇於
向所愛認錯和對於上帝忠貞信仰的專輯標題,毫無疑問,「信心與勇氣」是辛妮歐康諾
表現成熟沈穩內斂最成功的作品。
