美国新生代金属乐队Breaking Benjamin
《Phobia》是美国另类金属乐队Breaking Benjamin的第三张正式专辑。在发行的第一周,《Phobia》创造了Breaking Benjamin乐队单周销量的最高纪录,达到12万5千张,获得本周Billboard 200专辑榜的亚军。而这一成绩也是Breaking Benjamin在Billboard 200专辑榜中打榜的最好成绩。Breaking Benjamin的上张专辑是2004年6月发行的《We Are Not Alone》,首周上榜排在Billboard 200专辑榜的第20位,而乐队2002年的处子专辑《Saturate》首周上榜仅排在Billboard 200专辑榜的第136位。
在令人称道的《We Are Not Alone》得到歌迷广泛的赞誉之后,Breaking Benjamin在这张专辑中继续着他们所擅长的旋律化的Alternative Metal风格。相比一般的Alternative Metal乐队,Breaking Benjamin的旋律把握得要明显更为细致,而且歌曲中的chorus段也更易上口。在《Phobia》中,Breaking Benjamin的这一优势表现的相当突出。主打单曲《The Diary of Jane》就是Breaking Benjamin乐队实力的最佳证明,而接下来的《Breath》也是一首旋律非常出色的可以单独打榜的单曲。 他们的新专辑Phobia是后grunge音乐最好的教材,他是一张非常典型的后grunge专辑,每首歌曲都有着一个很黑暗的背景,歌曲的高潮是这首歌曲的制高点,上扬的歌声同时代有非常好听得旋律,所以后grunge是一种非常电台化的音乐,专辑第一主打歌曲The Diary Of Jane在六月份开始在全美电台播出,终于登上了Billboard的单曲榜,他完全符合后grunge的特色,优美旋律,哪怕是在有些疯狂的音乐背后,到了高潮的时候,整首歌曲的光芒就被完全释放出来了,是专辑中第一值得推荐的歌曲。

1942 年出生於曼菲斯的艾瑞莎跨越流行與靈魂的界線,進榜單曲超過 70 首,號稱「靈魂歌后」或「靈魂樂第一夫人」(Lady Soul)。由於牧師父親的關係艾瑞莎很早就參加唱詩班而且 14 歲擔任主唱並開始灌錄唱片,不過直到 1967 年才以 Respect 成名。三十多年的演唱生涯中艾瑞莎獲獎無數,其中包括 15 座葛萊美獎就是最好的證明,尤其節奏與藍調的項目似乎就專為她設置。另外終生成就獎、第一位女性藝人進入搖滾名人殿堂者也唯有艾瑞莎.弗蘭克林!1967-73 年是艾瑞莎演唱生涯的巔峰時期,此時她以靈魂、福音式曲風以及女性自覺的歌曲內容擄獲廣大歌迷的心 .
