介绍:
在每一个他跻身前十的国家——无论是他的祖国加拿大、英国、欧洲的各个地区，还是美国，他在《美国偶像》中的表现给了他巨大的帮助——丹尼尔·波特尔都有他的突破性热门歌曲《Bad Day》，这首节奏优美、阳光明媚的歌曲与标题几乎相反。这是一首很好的标志性歌曲，囊括了歌手/词曲作者的所有迷人和略显恼火的东西：它毫不费力，甚至是白炽的，旋律优美，立即进入潜意识，在那里它永远不会离开（至少在一周左右的时间里不会离开），它被赋予了一种巧妙的当代制作，它足够经典，可以将Powter和他的钩子放在最前沿，但它在滚动的节奏、键盘和吉他中加入了足够的现代元素，所以听起来不会复古。这首歌是他的首秀Daniel Powter的模板，虽然没有什么比这首歌更吸引人的了
In every country where he climbed into the Top Ten — whether it was his native Canada, the U.K., various territories in Europe, or the U.S., where he was helped enormously by being featured on American Idol — Daniel Powter had his breakthrough hit with “Bad Day,” a loping, sunny tune that pretty much has the opposite sentiment of its title. It’s a good signature song, encapsulating everything charming and slightly irritating about the singer/songwriter: it’s effortlessly, even incandescently, melodic, immediately working its way into the subconscious, where it will never leave (at least not for a good week or so), and it’s given an artful contemporary production, which is classic enough to place Powter and his hooks in the forefront, yet it’s dressed with just enough modern touches in its rolling rhythms, keyboards, and guitars so it doesn’t sound retro. That song is the template for the rest of his debut, Daniel Powter, and while there’s nothing quite as grabbing as that tune, there’s nothing alienating, either, which is not only to Powter’s credit, but to that of his producer, Mitchell Froom. Best known for his fussy, elaborately arty productions for such ’90s adult alternative mainstays as Crowded House, los Lobos, Richard Thompson, and Suzanne Vega, Froom retains his mastery of the studio but abandons his affectations here, turning Daniel Powter into an AAA record that simply sounds appealing. And that word pretty much describes Powter himself, particularly when he’s doing melodic midtempo pop like “Bad Day,” which is just often enough to make this record quite likeable. Not that he always has perfect pitch here — when it comes to ballads, he has a bit of a tin ear, turning toward the sappy, and he has an unfortunate tendency to slide into Jamiriquoi-styled lite funk (very lite funk), plus his words tend to fall apart into a series of trite clichés if they’re inspected too closely. Nevertheless, as a record — as a series of expertly produced, expertly recorded adult pop tunes — Daniel Powter is a debut that’s easy to enjoy, thanks to Powter’s melodic skills and sweet voice, both reminiscent of a less idiosyncratic, streamlined Elton John.
