專輯:Modern Children
歌手:Modern Children
發行年份:2011
提名原因:Modern Children 的首張同名專輯碟如其名,以「兒童」作主軸,不同樂器像口風琴於獨立流行的樂風之中遊走,整體氣氛繽紛如孩童在玩樂。由樂團成員寫小朋友的世界,字裡行間少不了會插入些成年人的角度跟情緒 — 可卻就正是這些小小的歌詞細節,才使專輯內容更具深度、更具厚度,有時還聽得讓人有點唏噓;配上頭尾兩首漂亮的後搖曲,氣勢磅礴,把專輯格局拉得更廣、更宏大、更完整。
專輯:香港是個大商場
歌手:my little airport
發行年份:2011
提名原因:my little airport在《香港是個大商場》的進化,自然得教人難以察覺。音樂上沒多大驚喜,可卻比以前有了更一針見血的專輯概念,唱(或讀)盡在大環境下掙扎的小人物故事,既貼地又對準時勢 — 十五首作品中,有裁員潮下上班族的想法,有偷偷摸摸的第三者心聲,也有對城市化的控訴。儘有妥協和投降的時候,MLA在專輯後段用幽默沖淡了苦澀,有如在煩悶的現實苦中作樂,為聽眾帶來現今我們都缺少的「正能量」,讓我們再捲土重來、跟社會洪流及大趨勢對抗。作者: b01091018 時間: 2019-9-8 14:10
歌曲:高八度
歌手:王菀之+張敬軒
發行年份:2010
提名原因:When we think of duet from these two, we mostly think of 手望(守望版). But this song showcases their talent well and the meta lyrics pinpoint this match-in-heaven feel of these two artists. The ascending in pitch melody also build nicely until they really are "高八度唱歌". A perfect fusion of melody, lyrics, and vocals, all playing well with each other.作者: bagfgfcde 時間: 2019-9-9 09:54
專輯:Songs For Ex
歌手:林二汶
發行年份:2011
提名原因:不少人以為林二汶單飛後的第一張專輯是《Eman Lam》,卻忘記了《Song for Ex》才是她的首張個人原創專輯。這張是電影《前度 EX》的原聲大碟,內裡有著大量純音樂曲目,有人聲演唱的歌曲只有五首:當中有的是鋼琴曲,有的則把其他樂器如結他的聲音放得較前。配上了林二汶輕輕的吟唱及民謠樂器的調節後,專輯中幾乎每一首的作品都顯得相當簡約輕柔,這既是突出那份淡淡的憂傷,又彷彿暗示往事已成過眼雲煙,就再也不必刻意留戀。整張專輯架構完整,雖然作為電影原聲大碟,獨立抽出來審視卻仍是相當出色,值得嘉許。作者: Gary 時間: 2019-9-9 11:58
專輯:奇蹟
歌手:農夫
發行年份:2010
提名原因:You must have heard this before: a group hits a critical moment, usually around the 7th year (8th in this case), where there is not much new ground to cover and people are essentially bored. The quick fix? Solo projects. What Fama was able to do in this case transcends all expectations, creating one of their most varied album. There are touching songs (偉大航道, 奇蹟), funny songs (韓國勁舞權, 吹摯友) and my favorite song of the whole album 愛 不愛我, a song with such immense impact that its youtube view counts is higher than half of the 903 top 10 of that year. The way that Fama were able to infuse the personalities and sounds of two premier artists (方大同 and 王菀之) into such thoughtful matches is a miracle indeed. We don't really hear these Fama's music anymore. Judging from their EEG's outputs, it may be for the best. But I am always glad we have one great album to remember what these two artists were able to do at their peak.
歌曲:又燦爛又糜爛
歌手:藍奕邦
發行年份:2011
提名原因:After his <藍/奕/邦> trilogy, Pong moved from his more emo stage and into a groovier and happier stage that would net him many top tens from me, such as eligible songs like 斗零踭. But I want to highlight a song of his instead of one he wrote for others. I started working in Hong Kong in September of 2011 and this song was very pivotal in getting me relaxed after some tough hours here. Many songs want to create an image of fun. This song can do that and then more. It is definitely a 妙藥靈丹 for struggling Hong Kongers everywhere.作者: bagfgfcde 時間: 2019-9-16 00:24
專輯:Live A Life
歌手:周國賢
發行年份:2012
提名原因:《Live A Life》直視個人缺失與社會怪異現象,探討的主題格局小至內心世界、大至整個宇宙空間,內容包羅萬有,涉獵題材之闊有如萬物生命之廣度。作品對社會現況作出有力批判和反思、搭配歌者的招牌搖滾樂,都是專輯中那份搖滾精神的充分展現。
歌曲:Go With The Flow
歌手:周國賢
發行年份:2012
提名原因:專輯中好歌不少,論搖滾代表當然有〈星塵〉,而較流行、較貼近樂迷口味的作品之中,我則較喜歡〈Go With The Flow〉的簡樸。旋律及歌詞都來得頗為直接到位,搭配6/8拍的輕快節奏,一切彷如隨手拈來;周國賢從來不是最頂尖的vocalist,可我卻從他這首的演唱之中,感受到那份最真誠、最不加修飾的赤子之心。他的高音聽起來很慘不忍睹,可當他如此用力、如此肯定地唱著「逆境總有愛埋藏於焦土」及「可否不再蓋藏自己的光」的時候,你會被他所說服。作者: misterben111 時間: 2019-9-17 03:44
專輯:Filicious
歌手:薛凱琪
發行年份:2012
提名原因:實在好想念《Filicious》時期的薛凱琪。《9:55pm》是Fi拿手的可愛風格,已到中女年紀的她處理得相當不俗;《All You Need Is Me》更是2012年樂壇不可多得的佳作。曲詞編監上乘,使人聽到Fi的自信與大氣。雖然當年失落女金,但《Filicious》無疑使樂迷對薛凱琪眼前一亮,得知她具有成為天后的潛質。作者: chanchan0909 時間: 2019-9-22 17:38
歌曲:Let's Just Do It
歌手:Dear Jane
發行年份:2012
提名原因:Chinese people are notoriously prudish, and Cantopop songs about sex are rare indeed. The nomination for this song is not JUST because it is confidently exploring a subject that gets no attention in Cantopop lyrics, but also because it uses its dance music backing well. Before Dear Jane hits it big with endless sad love songs (coincidentally also starting in 2012 with 到此為止), they are band that is fun and always willing to push the boundaries of what Hong Kong pop is about. This is a great example of that.
專輯:Misterdays
歌手: Mr.
發行年份:2012
提名原因:Still my favorite album from a band that is much maligned. The copying issues aside, the heart and soul of this band is well apparent in this album about dream chasing and keeping on even in tough times. 人一世物一世 and 昨天 are also my go to examples of just how fun and how serious this band can be when they go with their own creations. Is the complaints from 良知門 a little unearned? Probably...but it is still a rollicking fun song that played its emotion well, just like the rest of this album.作者: ~蛋撻~ 時間: 2019-9-24 04:56
專輯:My January
歌手:吳雨霏
發行年份:2012
提名原因:一張關於愛情的概念大碟,每首歌都鮮明道出愛情中的每個階段,有甜蜜、有溫馨、有猜疑、有傷心、有不捨,每個有過去的人一定會很深感受。專輯封面拍得很美,而吳雨霏於此專輯的演釋愈見成熟,讓人聽得好舒服,時至今日已相隔7年仍然歷久常新,不覺絲毫老氣,值得一聽再聽。
專輯:Life Fucks Everyone
歌手:No One Remains Virgin
發行年份:2012
提名原因:”I don’t need sex, the government fucks me everyday.” 這張專輯就如這句的延伸。專輯中的歌詞題材直線抽擊現實的不公與黑暗,好比〈心繫鳩國〉對中共政府的明嘲、〈李嘉誠島〉暗示港人「活像毛毛蟲」等;而後半段如〈Asia’s Dim Sum City〉那令人摸不住頭腦的歌詞,以至是實驗性質濃厚的搖滾樂,都象徵著社會的荒誕、荒謬。有趣的是,早於2010年就以單曲形式推出的這首〈心繫鳩國〉,如今聽來竟像是一則準確的預言 —
歌曲:Falling
歌手:Gin Lee
發行年份:2012年
提名原因:《Falling》可謂是Gin的代表作之一,歌曲難度亦只有少數新一代女歌手先能演繹到位。歌曲的音域難度頗高,Gin卻能夠好好控制力度,奠定了她作為新一代實力女歌手的地位。可惜歌者這麼多年卻沒辦法成功捉摸到自己的定位與樂迷對她的期望,而《Falling》這類型的歌曲亦成為Gin粉多年來其中一個對Gin的期盼。
