MV：Anna Abreu / End of Love @ 鄉村小太陽

好久沒有寫音樂的東西了，請各位大德原諒我，我真的是日也忙、夜也忙，忙到聽音樂對我來說都是奢侈也是壓力，所以已經很少在聽音樂了，不過當遇到有感覺的...還是不免俗地要和大家分享。這位連名字都不知道怎唸的Anna Abreu 就是一個例子；她是芬蘭2007年選秀比賽的亞軍女歌手，嗓音流露出異國風味和質量，首次聽到這首〈End of Love〉讓我有種想要多聽幾遍，多看幾遍的衝動。

只是殘念的是，因為網路上大部分關於Anna的介紹都非英文，只有在Last.fm上看到好心人士寫得英文資料，雖不知準確度如何，但也能參考一下。Anna 1990年出生，今年17歲，是一位芬蘭裔的葡萄牙歌手，在今年芬蘭偶像(Finnish Idol)選秀比賽上以43%的得票數拿下亞軍，話說她身高只有152CM，但充滿爆發力和獨特的嗓音深受評審激賞，在準決賽上Anna演唱Seether的〈Broken〉一度囊括80%的投票數，她對於演唱拉丁、節奏藍調與靈魂歌曲特別感興趣，今年五月獲得唱片合約。

根據Last.fm提及，Anna的首支單曲〈End of Love〉六月在芬蘭發行，同名專輯《Anna Abreu》八月22日發行的第一天也寫下金唱片銷售佳績，並空降專輯榜冠軍(根據此網站)；專輯走靈魂/拉丁/節奏藍調的風格，其中收錄兩首非英語的歌曲，包括在比賽上翻唱葡萄牙團體Ala dos Namorados的〈Solta-se O Beijo〉及西語歌曲〈Contigo Corazon(With Your Heart)〉。以下來聽聽這首〈End of Love〉，覺得有一點Xtina的嗓音和Jewel那首〈Intuition〉的味道，不過因為歌詞中出現Barry White又加分了。(專輯有機會的話會由SonyBMG代理發行)

Anna Abreu / End of Love 歌詞 (僅供參考)

Boy, my life ain't what it used to be ... anymore
Since you went out of the door
All the times when you taught me to sing ... love songs
All of that is gone

The shakes, the breaks, the rock, the block
The tick, the tock that spin the clock
I can feel a thing baby
I want you to bring back
The keys, the chords, the beats, the words
What if, what if, what if, what if
We could get it all back
I would love it all back to you
Ooh ooh la-laa
Is this the end of love?

And the night's swinging under the moon ... first class
Then talking all the jazz
And the times we were listening to ... Barry White
And dancing trough the night

To the shakes, the breaks, the rock, the block
The tick, the tock that spin the clock
I can feel a thing baby
I want you to bring back
The keys, the chords, the beats, the words
What if, what if, what if, what if
We could get it all back
I would love it all back to you
Ooh ooh la-laa la-laa-la-laa-la-laa
Ouh ooh ooh la-laa
Is this the end of love?

Boy, my days ain't what they used to be
Since you went out of the door

Where the shakes, the breaks, the rock, the block
The tick, the tock that spin the clock
I can feel a thing baby
I want you to bring back
The keys, the chords, the beats, the words
What if, what if, what if, what if
We could get it all back
I would love it all back to you
Ooh ooh la-laa la-laa-la-laa-la-laa
Ouh ooh ooh la-laa
Is this the end of love?
