Diary Of Hello Saferide

倒也不是因為名字當中有個ride字眼，自己便非得支持。但首次聽見Hello Saferide的acoustic pop歌謠，心裡面多少是覺得更寬敞了。Hello Saferide彷彿來自漫畫中的鄰家女孩、又似夢幻少女日記中的主角Annika Norlin，提起一把厚實的空心吉他、然後安然地端坐在公園裡的長凳上，只等著偶爾造訪樹林的雀鳥和上幾聲共鳴。在My Space的自介上頭，交待著Hello Saferide的取名靈感來自某位小鎮巴士司機的誑語。而Annika Norlin以唱作人的身份，喔！是以少女寫日記的方式完成了"Introducing...Hello Saferide"整張專輯。



諸如My Best Friend、If I Don't Write This Song,someone I love will die、Highschool Stalker與San Francisco這些親密如貼身生活般的平淡歌謠，每每帶著歡愉與一顆不禁折騰的芳心，Annika Norlin就是這麼樣的一位acoustic pop歌手，如Maia Hirasawa、Jonna Lee類瑞典新派女性唱作人。推薦曲Highschool Stalker是迎著虛弱的空心吉他、鼓掌聲與甜美的合音，時而穿插小喇叭的即席隨興，Annika Norlin小女人般的美麗動人。只是在歌曲My best friend當中，Annika又憤憤不平地訴說著：「Damn, I wish I was a lesbian/so I could fall in love with you.」Hello Saferide的率真，現在你可以透過Highschool Stalker、San Francisco去體驗。

Behind stage name Hello Saferide (inspired by an intelligent bus driver in a drug addicted small town, don't ask) is songwriter Annika Norlin. She'd been writing songs for most of her life, never aspiring for anyone else to hear them, when she recorded the song "Highschool stalker", about a young girl stalking her crush. "Highschool stalker" was an instant Internet hit with all of your favorite twee elements: handclaps, a Shangri-Las ask-and-tell chorus, a scrunched-up trumpet, and a weak guitar. Hello Saferide immediately got a record deal and her first single, "My best friend", featured the lyrics "Damn, I wish I was a lesbian/so I could fall in love with you." It immediately got radio airplay and had the toughest of tough men crying they, too, wanted to be lesbians. She released her debut album, "Introducing...Hello Saferide", in late September to a massive critical acclaim. "The strength of this album is that there are no weaknesses", wrote one reviewer, while others stated this was the debut of the year - or the diary of their lives.
