Jenny Lewis
Jenny Lewis是来自美国洛杉矶的一名歌手兼音乐创作人。她有一头如太平洋日落般美好的红发和象冰淇淋一样甜美清凉的歌声。作为Rilo Kiley的女主音,很多人在2000年发行的乐队第1张专辑中就被Jenny Lewis那温柔又略微沙哑的嗓音给迷住了,让人赞叹的还有她的音乐天赋。在这张专辑中,复杂的具有故事性和呼唤色彩歌词,与民谣、南部福音以及乡村乐相互交融在一起Born in Las Vegas in early 1977, singer/songwriter Jenny Lewis is one of indie rock's treasured characters, known for her work as the primary vocalist of Rilo Kiley as well as her burgeoning solo career. A former child actress, she helped launch Rilo Kiley in 1998 with fellow musicians Blake Sennett, Pierre de Reeder, and Dave Rock (who was later replaced by Jason Boesel in 2001). Lewis steadily developed her own vocal style, drawing from the sly country twang of Loretta Lynn, Dolly Parton, and Patsy Cline while remaining indebted to pop music. Collaborations with the Good Life, Cursive, and the Postal Service helped expand her audience, and Lewis began working on her debut solo effort in the midst of Rilo Kiley's third full-length release, More Adventurous.Rabbit Fur Coat was released in 2006, featuring vocals by Kentucky-born singers Chandra and Leigh Watson (thus the moniker Jenny Lewis with the Watson Twins) as well as contributions by M. Ward, Ben Gibbard, Jason Boesel, and Conor Oberst, who released the record on his own Team Love label. Jenny Lewis then made the jump to Warner Bros. for the release of Rilo Kiley's Under the Blacklight, which gave the band an unprecedented amount of chart success in the U.S. and overseas. Following that album's accompanying tour, Lewis announced that her sophomore solo effort, Acid Tongue, would be released in September 2008.
