Michael Bolton

儘管邁克爾·波頓在其第一張哥倫比亞唱片中流露出分明的舞臺搖滾傾向，但其表現令人不禁質疑他是否能在流行搖滾領域闖出名堂。他的第二張哥倫比亞唱片卻致力於效法Foreigner樂隊的金屬色塊，這樣一來他那把原本獨特的嗓子在鋪天蓋地的吉他獨奏，以及鍵盤的肆虐之下顯得頗爲蒼白而沒落。波頓或獨立創作或參與創作了全部曲子，大多時候他都像是在掙扎着吼出足夠的音量，然而當好不容易聽得清他的歌聲時，他卻滿嘴陳詞濫調，所以整張專輯實在不足爲道。

How Am I Supposed to Live Without You (Valentine's Edition)

Michael Bolton全新豪华版专辑《Spark of Light》在原作基础上注入四首全新曲目，延续了他标志性的抒情摇滚与复古灵魂乐基因。这张专辑以钢琴与管弦乐交织出宏大叙事感，Bolton极具穿透力的温暖人声成为贯穿全辑的情感纽带。新增曲目《Out of the Ashes》通过层层递进的弦乐编排，将生命的光辉主题推向高潮，而《Safe》则以极简配器凸显声线中的沧桑颗粒感。整张专辑在雄厚嗓音基底与细腻情感表达间找到平衡点，既有黄金年代成人抒情的气韵，又融入当代流行音乐的制作美学。当耳畔回荡起Bolton醇厚的声场时，那些关于希望与重生的音乐火花，正在黑暗中悄然燎原。

Spark of Light (Deluxe)

by Rob Theakston
Til the End of Forever is a treat for die-hard Boltheads. The first half of the album is comprised of freshly minted material that follows the tried and true Bolton formula: well-polished, accessible ballads tempered with upbeat numbers that are wholly inoffensive to the ears. Duets with Liz Sharpe and Jim Brickman help pick the first half up when it could have easily dragged on into monotony, and it ends with a reggae version of Bolton's hit "Said I Loved You...But I Lied." Although it's inexplicable as to why he felt the need to re-record the song in this style, it is nevertheless enjoyable. However, it's the second half of the disc where Bolton truly shines. In a ten-song concert that also doubles as a greatest-hits survey of his career, Bolton tears his way through hit after hit with no filler in sight. While this may not be the ideal place for newcomers to start exploring the mighty Bolton catalog, Til the End of Forever is a must-have for die-hard loyalists.
