年仅22岁的莫瑞(Marie
Batchelder)是一位来自英国的并在该国被誉为“英国最年轻的创作女歌手”，她的歌听起来像Tori
Amos、Ricky Lee Jones、Aimee Mann、Norah Jones、Kate
Bush等等，这些会给你一个莫瑞(Marie
Batchelder)的大概风格方向。Marie除了擅长演唱外，还擅长钢琴和大提琴。
At the tender age of 22, Marie Batchelder already gained the fame of “Britain’s youngest composing and singing genius in history”, her singing is slightly comparable to the touch and feel of those divas Tori Amos, Ricky Lee Jones, Aimee Mann, Norah Jones, Kate Bush etc., just to give you a frame where she style-wise may ranch. And beside her singing and composing skills, she also is a gifted piano and cello player.

国际儿童体育运动会组委会选用了由她谱写的《Believe in
Yourself》[相信自己]作为运动会的主题歌。莫瑞(Marie
Batchelder)应邀在英国Coventry市举办的开幕式上进行了成功而又精彩的表演。与此同时，她的创作天赋已经得到了超出英国本土范围的认可，她的曲目不仅出现在《The
British at
MIDEM》[法国国际音乐博览会上的英国人]合集中，她的《Remembered》[记忆留心]还在法国Cannes2005年一月举办的国际音乐节上作为英国代表队的官方入场曲展示于众。
One of the highlights of Marie’s career so far was when the
International Children’s Games Committee selected her song, “Believe in Yourself”, as the anthem for the 2005 competition. Marie was invited to perform at the Opening Ceremony in Coventry, England, which she did, wonderfully.
Accordingly, Marie’s music and song writing talents are now being recognised far and beyond the shores of the UK; not o琻ly is she featured o琻 “The British at MIDEM” CD, but her song, “Remembered”, was also played at the official reception for the British delegation at this International Music Festival which took place in Cannes during January 2005.

每隔一段时间就会出现这样的情况，一种声音与你擦肩而过却能紧紧地将你心神吸引住，让你无法放手。
Every once in a while it happens… a "sound" leaps out at you, hooks its way into your head and refuses to go away.

独特的旋律、一个让我心醉的嗓音、歌词表达得如此恰到好处令我心灵飘舞……这些是我在最近听过莫瑞(Marie
Batchelder)的歌曲后的直观感触，她是一位通过英国沃里克郡的Teen
Idol音乐赛事开始步入专业音乐领域并迅速崛起的新秀艺人，与那些最近比霸占各种电视音乐频道的老歌新唱、华众取宠、姿色卖艺、重翻旧俗、装英扮雄路线的感觉完全不同的是，莫瑞(Marie
Batchelder)的歌曲就像清晨绿草呼出新鲜空气，简单纯朴到100%真实自我的高标准原创音乐。
Evocative melodies…. a vocal delivery that gave me Goosebumps… lyrics that were so well crafted my senses were reeling… those are just a few of the sentiments I experienced when I recently listened to some amazing sounds from Marie Batchelder, a very much up-and-coming artist who entered the world of professional music via a Teen Idol competition that was held last year in Warwickshire, England.

In total contrast to the not-so-original-re-mixed-re-vamped-retro-trendy-in-your-face-club-oriented sounds that have a tendency to dominate the TV music channels, Marie’s songs are like a breath of proverbial fresh air; they are quite simply 100% original material of the highest possible standard.

第一首我停留不离的歌曲是不插电版本的《In Our Own
Time》[在我们的时间里]，一小段钢琴前奏之后，在分秒凝固的瞬间，我的心神就被征服了。在这首歌的正式录音版本里，我的注意力已经离开了写作出众的歌词而是沉醉于她的心声与完美器乐陪伴的魅力旋律之中。
The first thing that struck me as I listened to an unplugged clip from Marie’s, In Our Own Time, was the beguiling piano introduction and within a nanosecond, it had succeeded in captivating my attention. On the studio version, I was moved beyond words as I listened to Marie’s well-written lyrics blending perfectly with the beautiful instrumentation and arrangement of her melodies.

对于所有那些必须拿一些测量器械来衡量、来界定艺人乐手水平的人来说，我真的无法指明具体是她的作品中的哪个方面令人如此兴奋、舒心，而对于风格流派的尺度而言，我相信她已经大造出了完全属于自己的“认证级别”。对一个以隐藏自己编曲天赋开始步入音乐生涯的女孩来说，这些是非常了不起的作为。
For the benefit of those who have to have some sort of measuring device in place in order to identify with a particular sound or artist, I really can’t help you beyond telling you that Marie’s work is so incredibly exciting and inspiring I really believe she has managed to create her very own "identity box" as far as genre is concerned… not bad going for someone who actually began by keeping her song-writing a secret.

至于莫瑞(Marie
Batchelder)今后所面对的是什么，我相信她那独一无二的编曲和表演能力一定会让她的音乐在更广泛的观众躯体呼声下发出她在梦境里都不敢想象的灿烂光芒。
As for what lies ahead for Marie… I believe her unique writing and performing qualities will ensure her music will be enjoyed and appreciated by an audience above and beyond her wildest dreams.
