英語論壇： “Sophisti-pop”大家評
本網小評： “音樂有時更是一種情緒，一種品味，一種氛圍……
在優雅的酒吧、浪漫的咖啡屋，“Love
is your king”極易讓人沉迷，沉迷在Sade如焦糖般性感粗礪的聲線里，沉迷在渾厚薩克斯風幻化出的流光夜色里……
放在情調雅致的咖啡屋，Sade能陡然提升聽者的品味——至少這是一種感覺。夢醒午夜，點燃一支香煙，沖泡一杯濃茶，再讓Sade濃甜沙啞的嗓音……
Lyrics
Your love is king
by Sade
Your love is king,
Crown you in my
heart.
Your love is king,
Never need to part.
Your kiss is
ring,
Round and round and round my head,
Touching the very part of
me.
It's making my soul sing,
Tearing the very heart of me.
I'm crying
out for more.
Your love is king,
Crown you in my heart.
Your love is king,
You're
the ruler of my heart.
Your kiss is ring,
Round and round and round my
head,
Touching the very part of me.
It's making my soul sing,
I'm
crying out for more.
Your love is king.
I'm coming up, I'm coming.
You're making me dance, inside.
Your love is king,
Crown you in my heart.
Your love
is king,
Never need to part.
Your kiss is ring,
Round and round and
round my head,
Touching the very part of me.
It's making my soul
sing,
Tearing the very heart of me.
I'm crying out for more.
Touching the very part of me.
It's making my soul sing.
I'm crying out
for more.
Your love is king.
This is no blind faith,
This is no sad and sorry dream.
This is no
blind faith.
Your love...
Your love is real... gotta crown me with your
heart,
(Your love is king)
Never, never need to part,
(Your love is
king)
Touch me.
(Your love is king)
I'm coming up.
You're making me
dance, inside.
淺談“Sophisti-pop”
該如何形容這種音樂？淡淡的流行味道，絲絲的爵士情懷…… 只是，雖“流行”，它卻沒能成為流行的主角；雖“爵士”，它從未得到正統爵士迷的吹捧。
行走在主流音樂和非主流音樂的交界處，“Sophisti-pop”完美地融合了電子、爵士、搖滾、R&B等各色音樂元素，成為更輕柔、更為大眾接受的“爵士樂”。因為它的流行，人們說Sophisti-pop“很爵士”；也因為它的“很爵士”，人們更喜歡把Sophisti-pop列為爵士的一種，稱它為“輕爵士”。
Sophisti-pop源于上世紀80年代，與正統爵士樂相比，它缺乏前者的厚重、深沉和大氣，也沒有爵士樂特有的“即興”成分。你說它精致也好，矯揉也罷，總之，20世紀80年代特有的音響合成，讓Sophisti-pop和著美妙多變的薩克斯風一路優雅走來，那么柔滑、那么甜美。
