シンデレラというグループ名や
フラッシーなルックスから軟弱な音楽性を想像しがちだが、
実は骨太なハードロックで凄みを利かせる4人組。
フィラデルフィアをベースに活動していたシンデレラは、
ジョン・ボン・ジョヴィに見出され、86年『ナイト・ソングス』でデビューを飾る。
トム・キーファーの絞り出すようなボーカルスタイルは、
ジャニス・ジョプリンに強く影響されており
AC/DC直系ともいえるシンプル&ブルージーなロックンロールと、
ギターを廻す派手なステージ・アクションが話題となり、
一躍トップ・バンドの仲間入りを果たす。
続く2nd『ロング・コールド・ウィンター』(88年)は、
ブルース志向がより強まり、
スライド・ギターやマンドリンを導入してアーシーなサウンドを展開。
さらに『ハートブレイク・ステーション』(90年)では、
カントリー、ゴスペルといった米国南部に対する憧憬を露にし、
完全にHM/HRから逸脱してしまう。
そうした音楽性の変化に伴い、セールスは下降線を辿り、
94年の『スティル・クライミング』を最後にバンドは解散……。
しかし97年、初ベスト・アルバムのリリースと共に再結成。
現在はライヴを中心に活動している。 .
Cinderella Effect is a solo-project of DJane Constance, also vocalist of Blutengel.
The first album ("Pearls") consists of 15 covered versions of well-known Independent-Hits like After Dark, Black Hole Sun or Black No.1.
This project was supported by many studio-artists, especially by Coralie Thomas & Katja Gutowski.
It contains minimalistic electronical background music, paired with classical to modern instruments leading the focus to the vocals.
The sound differs slightly song for song, mostly you could hardly recognize the original on first playtime. In any case, a new experience for fans of the original songs!
