今天是大年初六，春節(jié)假期轉(zhuǎn)眼就要過(guò)去了。這也意味著，我們將徹底與特殊的2020年告別。對(duì)很多人來(lái)說(shuō)，2020年是艱難的一年。但在這一年里，不少歐美音樂(lè)人也十分“高產(chǎn)”，創(chuàng)作出了許多優(yōu)秀的作品。有人說(shuō)，是他們的音樂(lè)，或給人帶來(lái)希望，或讓人暫時(shí)忘我，陪伴歌迷們走過(guò)這一年的春夏秋冬。
現(xiàn)在，世紀(jì)君精心挑選了幾首自2020年發(fā)布后，一直火到現(xiàn)在的歐美流行單曲。還沒(méi)有聽(tīng)過(guò)的朋友，快快加入你的歌單吧！
“我思故我在”
《Therefore I Am》
Billie Eilish

《Therefore I Am》是五次格萊美獎(jiǎng)獲獎(jiǎng)?wù)?、“天才少女”碧梨（Billie Eililsh）去年11月發(fā)布的新單，至今仍在美國(guó)公告牌等榜單上名列前茅。相比成名作《Bad Guy》中的那份魔性，新歌多了幾分不屑，但旋律依舊 “上頭”：
“不要像你很了解我的感受一樣討論我/你站在世界之巔，但你的世界并不真實(shí)/你的世界只是理想國(guó)。（Don't talk 'bout me like how you might know how I feel/ Top of the world, but your world isn't real/Your world's an ideal）”

無(wú)論是穿搭還是音樂(lè)作品，碧梨這位“Z世代icon”一貫我行我素，自成一派。然而，去年10月，碧梨卻因一張穿著普通居家服外出的照片，遭遇網(wǎng)友的 “身材羞辱（body shaming）”。11月，碧梨發(fā)布《Therefore I Am》，或許正是她表達(dá)自我和回?fù)舻臋C(jī)會(huì)。
歌曲官方MV由碧梨自導(dǎo)自演，全程使用一鏡到底的拍攝手法。MV里她獨(dú)自一人在商場(chǎng)逛街，喝著飲料，吃著甜品和薯?xiàng)l，展現(xiàn)出不帶偽裝的自己，而不是公眾眼中的“完美藝人”。
歌名及歌詞中的“I think, therefore I am（我思故我在）”是法國(guó)哲學(xué)家笛卡爾的名言，也是著名的哲學(xué)命題。大意是指通過(guò)思考從而知道一個(gè)人自身的存在，由“思”而知“在”?；蛟S，碧梨用這句名言作為歌詞，是想告訴大家，要做一個(gè)有主見(jiàn)、有思想的人，不要在意他人的看法，勇敢的去做自己。
'Therefore I Am' is Eilish’s third single of 2020, following 'No Time to Die' and 'my future'.
The title will likely be familiar to people as it is the translation of the famous quote from philosopher René Descartes, 'I think therefore I am'.
The statement means that in knowing one’s own existence through the act of thought, this is proof of the reality of one’s own mind.

Don't talk 'bout me like how you might know how I feel

寒冷中尋找溫暖
《willow》
Taylor Swift

十分“高產(chǎn)”的霉霉于去年12月發(fā)布了第九張錄音室專輯《evermore》，距離上一張專輯《folklore》發(fā)布僅五個(gè)月。這張“姐妹”專輯以室內(nèi)搖滾和獨(dú)立搖滾為基調(diào)，在《folklore》的獨(dú)立民謠/鄉(xiāng)村風(fēng)格基礎(chǔ)上進(jìn)行了擴(kuò)展。
有網(wǎng)友說(shuō)，“如果上一張專輯《folklore》像是夏日終章，在炙熱喧囂中尋找寧?kù)o，那么《evermore》就是冬日序曲，在寒冷絕望中尋找溫暖?！?的確，新專輯中歌曲的主題仍基本圍繞著愛(ài)情、婚姻，卻多了一些悲觀的黑色基調(diào)，通過(guò)印象派的敘事方式和交錯(cuò)的故事，娓娓道來(lái)。
'Evermore' is the ninth studio album by Taylor Swift. It was released on December 11, 2020, through herself, less than five months after Swift's eighth studio album, 'Folklore'. 'Evermore' is an alternative rock and chamber rock album that expands on its predecessor's indie/folk sound. Its lyrical themes generally revolve around love, marriage, infidelity, and noir, detailed in form of impressionist storytelling and interlacing narratives.
新專輯主打單曲《willow》發(fā)布后即空降美國(guó)公告牌榜單曲榜第一名，成為霉霉第七首公告牌冠單。《willow》的MV延續(xù)了前一張專輯中冠單《cardigan》的故事，且同樣由霉霉自導(dǎo)自演。其中“仙女霉”再次登場(chǎng)，與男主角展開(kāi)了另一段浪漫的奇幻之旅。
The music video for its lead single ‘Willow’ picks up where her video for ‘Cardigan’ left off, and sees Swift embark on another fantastical adventure with a character played by Taeok Lee. Similar to the video for ‘Cardigan’, Swift directed the video for ‘Willow’ herself.

《Afterglow》
Ed Sheeran

近一年未發(fā)布個(gè)人新單的黃老板Ed Sheeran于去年年底發(fā)行了這首回歸單曲《Afterglow》，在公告牌榜及UK榜單均取得了佳績(jī)。據(jù)黃老板透露，這首歌并非他的新作，而是早在一年前就寫(xiě)好了。他在自己的instagram賬號(hào)上發(fā)布了歌曲的MV片段，并寫(xiě)道：“《Afterglow》是我去年寫(xiě)的一首歌，一直想給你們聽(tīng)。這并不是下一張專輯的先行曲，但是我很喜歡，希望可以給你們聽(tīng)，希望你們也會(huì)喜歡?！?/p>
Ed Sheeran gifted fans with a surprise song titled 'Afterglow' shortly before Christmas, and the ballad is still pulling on their heartstrings. ''Afterglow' is a song I wrote last year that I wanted to release for you,' Sheeran wrote on Instagram. 'It’s not the first single from the next album, it’s just a song I love, and hope you love too.'
隨著歌曲同步公開(kāi)的還有Ed Sheeran親自設(shè)計(jì)創(chuàng)作的歌曲封面——一幅美國(guó)抽象表現(xiàn)主義繪畫(huà)大師杰克遜·波洛克（Jackson Pollock）風(fēng)格的畫(huà)。此外還有一鏡到底的MV，其中黃老板坐在山坡上彈唱著，身后是夕陽(yáng)西下、落日余暉的景色。
The spare acoustic ballad accompanied by a colorful Jackson Pollock-esque piece of art features splashes of color, was accompanied by a performance clip in which Sheeran plays the track on acoustic guitar in the middle of an expansive, twilight scene.
《Afterglow》延續(xù)了黃老板一貫暖心治愈的曲風(fēng)，質(zhì)樸的旋律和歌詞，溫柔的嗓音，講述著愛(ài)情的美好、堅(jiān)持與希冀。歌曲名“afterglow”是“余暉”、“晚霞”的意思。或許在2020年的冬天，的確需要這樣溫暖的聲音告訴大家：我們都可以等到落日余暉的美。

《Levitating》
Dua Lipa

在Balkanika音樂(lè)電視臺(tái)的采訪中，Dua Lipa談及創(chuàng)作這張專輯的靈感來(lái)源時(shí)表示，“我當(dāng)時(shí)在拉斯維加斯，剛剛結(jié)束一檔廣播節(jié)目，一邊聽(tīng)著OutKast（美國(guó)Hip Hop雙人組合）和No Doubt（1987年組建的美國(guó)搖滾樂(lè)隊(duì)），一邊散步。我當(dāng)時(shí)想，這些唱片至今仍然是我所鐘愛(ài)并接受的，為什么我覺(jué)得歌曲一點(diǎn)都沒(méi)有過(guò)時(shí)？我怎樣才能創(chuàng)作出這種既有懷舊感，又不和現(xiàn)代脫節(jié)的作品？”
Dua Lipa remembers the exact moment this new direction emerged. “I had a radio show in Las Vegas and I went for a walk, just to clear my mind.”, she said. “As I walked, I listened to OutKast and No Doubt and thought: ‘What is so great about these recordings that I still like and recognize them? Why do I feel that they are not outdated? And how can I embody this nostalgic feeling from all my favorite childhood memories and inspired by something new and modern?”
專輯中的熱門(mén)單曲《Levitating》由合成器編曲制作，集合了流行舞曲、流行放克、強(qiáng)力流行（流行搖滾的一種形式）和太空搖滾，同時(shí)也有70年代到90年代的流行及R&B味道。該曲目前在美國(guó)公告牌和英國(guó)UK熱門(mén)單曲榜均收獲了好成績(jī)，且排名仍在上升。除了原版單曲，與美國(guó)歌手DaBaby合作的混音版也于去年年底發(fā)布，目前在美國(guó)公告牌榜排名第五。
The song is an electro-disco and nu-disco song with several disco tropes. It incorporates elements of dance-pop, pop-funk, power pop and space rock, as well as 1970s, 1980s and 1990s pop and R&B styles.
談及歌曲主題，Dua Lipa表示，“這首歌是關(guān)于開(kāi)心玩耍，遇到并愛(ài)上某人后想著‘你我恰好在完美的時(shí)間相遇，我們就放手試試在一起吧！’是那種愛(ài)情讓你感覺(jué)飄飄欲仙的感覺(jué)。”
She spoke to Apple Music about the idea behind the song, “It’s about having fun and meeting someone and falling in love and thinking, ‘You’ve probably met me at the perfect time, let’s just go for it.’ It’s the feeling when love makes you feel like you’re levitating.”

《Save your tears》
The Weeknd
這兩年復(fù)古流行熱潮席卷歐美，除了Dua Lipa的新專輯，去年還有盆栽哥The Weeknd的新專輯《After Hours》，其中收錄了他的《Blinding Lights》、《Heartless》等冠軍單曲。至今《Blinding Lights》仍在公告牌榜單曲榜排名第三，而專輯中的另一首單曲《Save Your Tears》則上升至了第13名。
相比Dua Lipa新專輯中帶有歡快旋律的復(fù)古disco舞曲，盆栽哥這張專輯則偏重使用合成器編曲，呈現(xiàn)出既復(fù)古又前衛(wèi)的合成器流行（Synth-pop）風(fēng)格。

Vulture網(wǎng)站評(píng)論寫(xiě)道：“通過(guò)《Save Your Tears》，The Weeknd進(jìn)一步完善了他八十年代曲風(fēng)的實(shí)驗(yàn)。這首關(guān)于分手之痛的歌，用其足夠簡(jiǎn)單卻美妙的旋律躋身八十年代流行樂(lè)頂峰?！?/p>
'Save Your Tears' is a song by Canadian singer the Weeknd for his fourth studio album After Hours (2020).
Craig Jenkins of Vulture raved, 'The Weeknd perfects his '80s genre experiment with 'Save Your Tears', a gutting breakup tune gorgeous and simple enough to stand alongside peak '80s pop.'
《Save Your Tears》這首單曲雖然沒(méi)有冠單《Blinding Lights》的所呈現(xiàn)出的科幻質(zhì)感和洗腦旋律，卻讓許多網(wǎng)友感嘆“更為沁人心脾”。其柔和的節(jié)奏和流動(dòng)的合成器音色，將盆栽哥冰冷又帶一絲柔情的電子人聲渲染出了一種夢(mèng)幻氛圍。
《紐約時(shí)報(bào)》編輯評(píng)價(jià)道：“《Save Your Tears》有股Depeche Mode（英國(guó)傳奇電子組合）的憂傷味道，還有致敬Wham!樂(lè)隊(duì)《Everything She Wants》的意思，呈現(xiàn)出八十年代中期的流光溢彩。”
'Save Your Tears' has both tonal echoes of Depeche Mode's melancholy and a nod to 'Everything She Wants' by Wham!, exhibiting shimmery mid-80s luxuriance”, praised New York Times editor Jon Caramanica.

比伯Justin Bieber在2021新年之際發(fā)布了這首全新單曲《Anyone》，并在他的跨年直播演唱會(huì)上奉獻(xiàn)了該曲的首秀。
“通過(guò)向全世界的粉絲分享新單的方式與大家一起告別2020，迎接2021年，我想不出比這更好的方式了，” 比伯表示，“今年，音樂(lè)陪伴人們渡過(guò)了太多（艱難與挫折）。對(duì)我個(gè)人來(lái)說(shuō)，音樂(lè)治愈了心靈，改變了一切。《Anyone》是一首特別的、充滿希望與熱情的歌曲。它為更為光明，且充滿希望與可能性的新年定下了基調(diào)?！?/p>

'Anyone' is a song by Canadian singer Justin Bieber. It was released as a single on January 1, 2021. The singer debuted the new track during his “arena sized” New Year's Eve performance on December 31.
'I can't think of a better way to close out 2020 and kick off 2021 than celebrating with my fans all over the world and sharing this new music with them,' Bieber said of releasing 'Anyone'.
'Music has gotten us all through so much this year, and for me personally it’s been healing and transformative. 'Anyone' is such a special, hopeful, anthemic song. It sets the tone for a brighter new year full of hope and possibility.'
在抓耳的旋律中，比伯用如今更為沉穩(wěn)、成熟的嗓音述說(shuō)著堅(jiān)定的愛(ài)情，“回首一生，你是我所做唯一正確的事（Lookin' back on my life you're the only good I've ever done）”“如果我愛(ài)的人不是你，那也不會(huì)是別的任何人（Yeah, you, if it's not you, it's not anyone）”歌詞不僅甜蜜，更表達(dá)了對(duì)伴侶不渝的愛(ài)意。

歌曲MV由加拿大導(dǎo)演Colin Tilley指導(dǎo)，靈感來(lái)源于1976年關(guān)于拳擊手的經(jīng)典影片《洛奇》（Rocky）。MV中比伯也飾演了一位拳擊手，為了取得冠軍殊榮不斷訓(xùn)練。在比賽過(guò)程中即使遇到困難與波折，女主角仍陪伴身邊給予鼓勵(lì)與支持。為了出演這支MV，比伯化妝遮蓋了他身上的紋身。
Bieber accompanied the track with a Rocky-inspired music video directed by Colin Tilley.
In the music video Bieber portrays a boxer whose powerful love for his other half inspires him to train, fight, and eventually overcome a potential K.O. on his journey to becoming a champion. For the music video, Bieber covered up all of his tattoos.
