detailed information
Let's start with a movie. 1999 Magnolia, directed by paul thomas anderson and starring Tom Cruise and Julian Moore, is obviously an extraordinary work with a particularly humorous and grotesque narrative, for which Tom Cruise won the Golden Globe Award for Best Supporting Actor. AimeeMann, a female singer who is also famous for the film Shadow, has created eight works in the soundtrack of this film, among which saveme won the Golden Globe Award and the Oscar nomination for best movie song, which really brought this talented woman who has been wronged in the music world for many years into people's field of vision.
However, Aiman's music career can be traced back to the post-1980s Nouvelle Vague era. As a female lead singer, her looks and exaggerated hairstyles in those years are quite similar to those of gorgeous rock glamrock, and the contrast with AimeeMann, who is quiet and introspective from the outside to the inside, can be imagined. After the dissolution of the band, AimeeMann's personal music road was "three thousand years' effort" because of the signing of the company and copyright, but all the published music works were above a certain level. Her voice is mellow and natural, sensitive and intellectual, showing a very attractive attitude, but the market performance was not very good until 1999' s original album Magnolia was born.
This is AimeeMann's fifth solo studio album. Compared with the string texture and psychedelic color in the last album "LostInSpace", this time TheForgottenArm presents the simple style of traditional rock music in the 1970s, and the arrangement of instruments is a little simpler. The traditional arrangement of piano, guitar, drum and bass has almost been completed. What's special is that producer JoeHenry joined in, and this alternative AltCountry musician brought it.
Unlike some female creators, AimeeMann's works do not show the so-called "soft singing" characteristics unique to women. Most of them are full of the narrative characteristics of blues music and simple personal thinking, just like this "The Forgottearm" is so "masculine" from the cover design to the boxer theme, and the singing is always tough. Significantly, the female singer really learned boxing skills, and the film is called "The Forgottearm".
Still the intellectual Aiman, "ForgottenArm" is a concept with narrative theme. In a loose story frame, it describes the encounter and love between boxer John and his girlfriend Caroline, the cold and sad life situation, the suspicious and tense heart, and the life process like a road movie. All the difficulties were stuffed into the old Cadillac, and we went on the road together.
AimeeMann's naming of the two protagonists sounds full of mysterious stories. He is the king of prison, and she is the queen of the road. You can't expect to hear a complete novel from such a record. Of course there are stories. However, as a singer and narrator, Aimeiman actually expressed her own examination and thinking about life with an ambiguous and fragmented narrative. In a track like LittleBombs, she doesn't even use the protagonist as an excuse to jump out of the all-powerful narrative perspective and sing "Lifejustkindofemptiesout, Lessadelugethanadrought" by herself.
come to the point
This is a trip back to1970s. Fragile boxer, inseparable lover, crazy summer, open-air parking lot, innocence, confusion, drug addicts, Utopia's ForgottenArm is full of fun in the 1970s. For AimeeMann, born in 1960, the post-70s generation may be a dream that will never come back and never meet again, just like the two protagonists in the album, and finally it can only be a string of fourteen.
