专辑简介
擅长钢琴、吉他、木管等多种乐器，因使用班卓琴闻名，美国音乐人 Sufjan Stevens 凭借非凡音乐造诣，为我们带来曼妙的流行“小交响”。他曾是民谣摇滚乐队 Marzuki 的成员，并从这支乐队开始了自己的音乐生涯。和围绕美国密歇根州展开情感铺垫的专辑《Greetings from Michigan, The Great Lake State》一样，Stevens 通过这张《Illinois》，以伊利诺伊州为基点，将爱情、家庭和信仰的故事娓娓道来。他用天马行空的音乐狂想描绘有关伊利诺伊州的人、事、与物，杂糅当代古典、爵士、巴洛克流行、独立摇滚等丰富曲风，作品同时散发出内敛清丽的民谣风味。多样化音乐元素的混搭，展现出动听的实验特质，而歌词饱含深情，字里行间映射出对人性、灵魂的深度思索。Sufjan Stevens 温情脉脉的动人吟唱，让听者“看见”了美国的真实模样。
