Hands Up

來自冰島的才華女歌手Emilíana Torrini，最近以一首「Jungle Drum」橫掃整個歐洲的音樂市場。而澳洲天后凱莉米洛的多國冠軍單曲「Slow」就是由Emilíana Torrini與她的長期合作夥伴Dan Carey共同製作，後者還跟許多名人合作過，例如：Lily Allen、CSS、Kylie等。 

個人時期共發過3張專輯「Love in the Time of Science」、「Fisherman's Woman」與08年「Me and Armini」，後兩張的製作人正是Dan Carey。她還因為碧玉懷孕而唱了魔戒2的片尾曲「Gollum's Song」，這首歌的配樂還有演唱的詞跟曲聽的我很不舒服，難怪當初一找就是找碧玉唱XD 

雖然早就出道，但直到08年的「Jungle Drum」才讓她真正打開知名度。Emilíana Torrini詮釋的很有活力很可愛，高音部份也不顯得稀疏，副歌最有記憶點的地方「嘎啦洞」聽久其實有點累，如果唱現場那個舌頭或許會打結，還會缺氧。只是她這種聲音與類別的歌手真的很多，尤其是唱indie pop曲風的就一堆…… 

MV一直讓我想到Bjork「Volta」專輯裡的「Wanderlust」，連MV最後的服裝也讓我聯想到Bjork，而且我搞不懂會何MV中要用拳頭揍那支蜻蜓XD，不過Emilíana Torrini老老的臉搭配這首歌這個MV讓我直覺好像外語老師在帶小朋友說唱跳。

Hey I'm in love
My fingers keep on clicking
to the beating of my heart

Hey I can't stop my feet
Ebony and ivory and dancing
in the street

Hey it's 'cause of You
The world is in a crazy hazy hue

My heart is beating like a jungle drum
retung ketungke tungtungtung
My heart is beating like a jungle drum
rakatung ketung ketuketuke tungtung
My heart is beating like a jungle drum

Man You got me burnin'
I'm the moment between
the stricking and the fire

Hey read my lips
'Cause all they say is
kiss kiss kiss kiss kiss

No it won't ever stop
My hands are in the air
yes I'm in love
