Janelle Monáe – I Like That 中文歌詞翻譯介紹

今天版主要來跟大家介紹最近一直狂聽的歌手 Janelle Monáe 的新專輯 Dirty Computer 中的 I Like That ! 不得不說,這張專輯大概是版主上週心目中的第二名XD 第一名是 J.Cole 的 K.O.D,讓版主最近驚艷的是第一首歌 Dirty Computer 那個和聲一出來,瞬間全身雞皮疙瘩,有種詭異但卻不會不舒服的感覺,超棒!其他每一首也都很有特別的風格,將會在這禮拜為大家寫一篇專文介紹呦=)

在進入歌曲故事前,讓我們先來聽聽這首 I Like That 吧!


I Like That 歌曲故事:

這首 I Like That 是一首為特別族群和自己發聲的歌,也是 Janelle Monáe 一貫的風格,總是特立獨行,走在尖端,也和中間所寫的一段歌詞一樣,我不喜歡跟隨,我喜歡別人追逐著我,在和 Billboard 的採訪中,她也說到:

“ As a black woman who has experienced sexism and racism, and as an ally of the LGBTQ community, I feel obligated to say something. I have to say something. I started my career writing protest songs, writing political songs, writing songs that would help spark the revolution. ”

身為一個黑人的女人,我經歷過性別及種族歧視,身為同性戀社群的一份子,我認為,我有義務說些話。我必須說點什麼。我是寫抗爭歌曲起家的,我寫了很多政治歌曲,寫了很多很多歌,為了要激發一個世代的革新!

令版主覺得有趣的是她在歌曲聲音的設計上,整首歌用了福音元素在其中當襯底,並混合電音鼓組和 Rap,讓這首歌不只歌詞碰撞世代價值,同時,也在音樂上,讓新舊音樂碰撞,製造出一種新的風格及味道!
