小简介 尽管Trance/Ambient Dance已成为现今电界的主流，但各位切勿忽略一些较为另类的跳舞音乐品种，如同Vanessa Daou所玩转的Jazz Dance。其鬼魅般诱人娇媚的声线是最适时的一服丢魂散。她的声音梦呓般徘徊于吟和唱之间，如一层层薄纱用游丝弱气轻轻送出；骄傲的小号和陶醉的爵士风在抽象得如泡沫一样的浮幻声浪中闪烁光芒。空气中逐渐弥漫一种欲望，旖旎地在耳边开花。床上的人慢慢卸去了无形的力，轻飘飘起来。 其实，从The Daou时期到Vanessa Daou时期，他们的音乐质地并没有太大的改变，依然是感染了爵士病毒的迷幻舞曲，侵蚀着我们的听觉。 Fusing jazz, pop, dance grooves, and sexually explicit lyrics, Vanessa Daou may be one of the most daring new artists of the 20th century. Her first two solo singles — Give Myself to You and Are You Satisfied? — reached the Top Ten on the dance charts compiled by Billboard. Initially released on her own label, Lotus Records, Daous debut solo album, Zipless, which featured groove-induced interpretations of Erica Jongs poetry, was reissued by MCA/Universal in the summer of 1995. A native of Saint Thomas, Daou moved to Massachusetts in 1984 to attend boarding school. She continued to study visual art and art history at Vassar College in Poughkeepsie, NY and Barnard College in New York City. Together with her musical partner and husband, Peter Daou, on piano, the pair recorded as Vandal and attempted to break into New Yorks underground dance music scene. Signed by Columbia/Sony, Daou released their debut duo album, Head Music, in 1992. The album was extremely successful with the first single, Surrender Yourself, reaching the top of Billboards club chart. When the label offered to pick up an option for a second album, the duo elected to sign with the new Tribal label. After releasing two chart-topping singles, Daou was signed as a solo act by Elektra chairman Bob Krasnow for his fledgling company, Krasnow Entertainment. A top-notch remix keyboardist, Peter Daou has become a much sought-after session player, working with such artists as Janet Jackson, Diana Ross, *****, Garbage, Grace Jones, and Miles Davis.
