“Now is not the time for speaking politely or focusing on what we can or cannot say. Now is the time to speak clearly,” declares 16-year-old climate activist Greta Thunberg on “The 1975,” the latest in a long line of eponymous album openers from the UK band. “It is time to rebel.”
“現(xiàn)在不是說(shuō)話客氣的時(shí)候，也不是專注于我們能說(shuō)什么或不能說(shuō)什么的時(shí)候?，F(xiàn)在，是該表明立場(chǎng)的時(shí)候了”16歲的氣候活動(dòng)家Greta Thunberg在 “The 1975”中說(shuō)到，這支單曲是這個(gè)英國(guó)樂隊(duì)最新的眾多同名專輯開場(chǎng)曲， “是時(shí)候站出來(lái)反抗了”。
“People,” the subsequent track off their upcoming record titled?Notes on a Conditional Form, wastes no time with pleasantries. No longer just hoping that we’ll?make it, it shoves itself in your face with a desert-rock guitar riff and Matty Healy’s rabid demand to wake up because the world is?literally on fire. Already undeniably one of the best and most elastic vocal performers of his generation, Healy has never sounded so ALIVE: barking, shrieking, and snarling, ripping his vocal cords to shreds as he rhymes “Obama” with “marijuana.” “We are appalling and we need to stop just watching shit in bed/And I know it sounds boring and we like things that are funny but we need to get this in our fucking heads” he screams. If there’s still any question about whether or not the 1975 is a rock band, rather than an ’80s-indebted pop act, “People” will put that debate to rest.
“People”是他們即將發(fā)行的專輯《Notes ona Conditional Form》的第二支單曲，它沒有在寒暄上浪費(fèi)任何時(shí)間。它不再期望我們自己去體會(huì)，而是用重金屬吉他的重復(fù)樂段和Matty Healy想要迫切叫醒你的欲望直接懟在你臉上，因?yàn)槭澜缯娴闹鹆恕?/strong>毫無(wú)疑問(wèn)，Healy已經(jīng)是他那一代人中最優(yōu)秀、最靈活的歌手之一，但他的聲音從未像現(xiàn)在這樣充滿活力:咆哮、尖叫和怒罵，當(dāng)他把“奧巴馬”和“大麻”押韻時(shí)，他幾乎快要把他的聲帶撕成碎片了。“We are appalling and we need to stop just watching shit in bed/And I know it sounds boring and we like things that are funny but we need to get this in our fucking heads（我們太可怕了，我們需要停止袖手旁觀了/我知道這聽起來(lái)很無(wú)聊，因?yàn)槲覀兌枷矚g有趣的東西，但我們需要把這些記在該死的腦子里）”他尖叫道。如果還有The 1975這支樂隊(duì)到底是是搖滾樂隊(duì)還是80s-indebted流行樂隊(duì)的疑問(wèn)，“People”將平息這場(chǎng)爭(zhēng)論。
Channeling Marilyn Manson’s oil-spill mane and?Gerard Way’s vein-bursting bravado, the video features Healy leaning into a routine of the most performative rockstar stereotypes, all hip-thrusts, camera kisses, and flamboyant poses; at one point he gleefully detonates a suicide vest that explodes into emojis. It’s impossible not to think back to their 2016 video for “The Sound,” in which the band performs trapped in a translucent box while critics lob complaints like “there’s no danger in this music at all.” “People” has absorbed all the danger and turned it into an anthem.
這段視頻借鑒了Marilyn Manson的飄柔長(zhǎng)發(fā)和Gerard Way的噴脈表演，Healy傾向于最具表演性的搖滾明星套路，可從所有的頂胯、鏡頭之吻和妖嬈姿勢(shì)看出；有一幕，他興高采烈地引爆了一件自殺式背心，引爆后變成了表情符號(hào)。這讓人會(huì)想起了2016年單曲“The Sound”的 mv，在視頻中，樂隊(duì)被困在一個(gè)透明盒子中表演，而評(píng)論家們則抱怨說(shuō)，“這音樂一點(diǎn)都不危險(xiǎn)”?！?strong>People”承受了所有的危險(xiǎn)，并將其變成了一首頌歌。
