Leona Naess是著名的Diana Ross前夫Arne Naess的女儿,她生于英国伦敦并在那里长到18岁才返回纽约,之后就在纽约大学学习音乐。她的音乐受到广泛的影响,作为Indie Rock/Folk歌手,受到Joni Mitchell和Edie Brickell的影响是很自然的---尤其是同Edie如出一辙的声线,听了都让人觉得像到不可思议,但同时她的音乐还被The Cure,Da vid Bowie以及Joy Division所影响着。
  在纽约的一些俱乐部演出之后,23岁的Leona出版了Comatised,并且Charm Attack还取得小小名气,在2001年的时候她推出了I Tried to Rock You But You Only Roll,这张专辑是在她同Eagle-Eye Cherry和Da vid Gray的巡演间隙腾时间创作的,相比前一张,更加的阴暗了一点,但这张专辑发掘了她在音乐上更大的潜力,她声名雀起,成为别具一格的Indie Rock/Folk女歌手,并被很多音乐人如Nina Gordon等赏识推崇。
  2003年出版的同名专辑是她和Ethan Jones一起完成的,很是轻快可爱,我也是因为Nina Gordon的推荐,听了现场版的Calling才认识这位女歌手的,她的声音还和我喜欢的另外一个英国民谣女歌手Kathryn Williams很像,她们的声音都是那种听了极度舒服的,没有太多造作的鼻音和故意摆弄音域,如果某天你需要调整自己杂乱的心情,比如像这时我一样,你可以尝试播放她的音乐,绝对不会让你更郁闷的说。
  转Amazon的介绍:
  Leona Naess’ third album takes a turn away from the radio-ready veneer of 2001’s I Tried to Rock You But You Only Roll in favor of the more austere arrangements of producer/multi-instrumentalist Ethan Johns (Ryan Adams, Rufus Wainwright). Less immediately ear-grabbing than the previous disc, this self-titled record nonetheless sinks in deeply after a mere handful of plays. Naess’s songs are closely observed and occasionally diary-like: in "Star Signs," she recounts her reading a former lover’s horoscopes, while "Dues to Pay" draws parallels between career and romantic hard knocks. Whether aiming for Tom Petty-style folk-rock or surrounded by a small group of string players, Naess’s voice remains a truly affecting instrument, wistful and full-voiced at once. Hurt or not, you know, she’ll get by. --Rickey Wright
