2007年,来自英国著名的摇滚乐队Suede的主唱Brett Anderson发表了以自己的名字命名的首张个人专辑,这是在他经历了苦心经营了14年的乐队Suede不得不宣布解散之后,不愿服输的他抛弃前嫌,和老队友山羊皮的第一任吉他手Bernard Butler重新复合,组建了The Tears,希望能重新碰撞出两人昔日的火花,然而由于岁月的变化,两个人已是貌合神离,魔力不再,这根最后的稻草又走进了死胡同,此刻即将进入40岁的Brett Anderson正在经历人生和事业的最低谷,他万念俱焚,心境如同冬天一样清冷萧瑟,连爱都失去了往日的生命和活力。 位于英国伦敦泰晤士河南岸的伊丽莎白女皇音乐厅(Queen Elizabeth Hall)是伦敦著名的文化演出场所,在这里经常举办古典,爵士和前卫的音乐会,每个周末聚集在这里的都是伦敦最时尚的文艺青年,2007年的10月20日正好是一个星期六,Brett Anderson在这里举办了一场特别的Unplugged风格的独唱音乐会,全场由厢琴和交响乐队伴奏,如同他的个人专辑中的音乐风格,回归简单,淳朴,内敛和自省,在演唱会上他和乐队演绎了他的个人专辑和Suede时期的经典作品。(youdai)
