[ERSTE] by Astor Fong ~ 我的 comfort music




我城愈發嘈吵,敏感脆弱的耳膜受到嚴重騷擾 ─ 各大中小商場的聖誕歌曲、無處不在的手提電話鈴聲附送的滔滔不絕、國內同胞在名店或藥房買東西的大嗓子、各條鐵路巴士的低b 廣告、電視台的紛雜節目、電台年輕無聊 DJ的乏味搶白喪笑、剛落幕的「東亞運動會」主題歌,配上24度氣溫,回南天氣 … 真有點逃走的衝動!

此刻,我需要的comfort music是經典舊歌 ─ 那些耐聽、低 key、娓娓道來、如泣如訴、告訴你關於生命一點遺憾、一點喜悅的故事、輕輕帶點重量如生命中不能承受的輕或重 …

方文(Astor Fong)首張英文發燒碟 [ERSTE] (2008年),完全滿足了我的要求。更重要的是,2007年夏天某個星期五黃昏,多謝兩位AC的邀約,有幸與美麗爽朗的Astor一起唱 K!當知道與唱家班同唱K時,現在想起也有點汗顏。

其後,獲悉她已推出首張英文發燒碟,數月前《明周 Book B》的推介,第二張 [Forever Young˙Forever Love]也即將推出,終於上周買了回家。

十首歌曲包括:Aubrey • Diary, Superstar, Michelle, Honesty, Crying, Feelings, Desperado, Words, Ben, When I Dream.
