安妮·威尔逊新专辑:“'I Stuck to Who I Am”
So is Anne Wilson a Christian artist or a country artist?
那么安妮·威尔逊是基督教艺术家还是乡村艺术家呢?
If you have to ask that question, you’re missing the point. In these genre-fluid times, the artist behind the blockbuster contemporary Christian hit “My Jesus” wants to be both, and she’s taking her leap of faith with sophomore album, Rebel, out on Friday.
如果你非要问这个问题，那你就没抓住重点。在这个体裁多变的时代，这位当代基督教大片《我的耶稣》背后的艺术家想要两者兼得，她的第二张专辑《Rebel》将于周五发行。
“I didn’t change who I was,” Wilson tells PEOPLE, harking back to her 2022 debut album, also titled My Jesus. “I stuck to who I am and what I believe,” she says about the new album, “and it’s really cool to see how it’s all come together.”
“我没有改变我是谁，”威尔逊告诉《人物》杂志，回想起她2022年的首张专辑，也叫《我的耶稣》。“我坚持我自己和我的信仰，”她谈到新专辑时说，“看到这一切是如何走到一起的真的很酷。”
Indeed, Rebel is a coming-together — a melding of faith-infused lyrics and country music, a sound that has unmistakable echoes in her first album. No doubt that’s what persuaded Nashville recording exec Cindy Mabe to ask Wilson to add a country label to her portfolio and release her second album to both markets.
的确，《Rebel》是一首融合了充满信仰的歌词和乡村音乐的歌曲，这种声音在她的第一张专辑中得到了明确的回响。毫无疑问，正是这一点说服了纳什维尔唱片公司的高管辛迪·梅贝，让威尔逊在她的唱片组合中加入一个乡村唱片公司，并在两个市场发行她的第二张专辑。
“I was hesitant at first,” the 22-year-old artist recalls. “I said, ‘I’m not gonna change who I am to do country music.’ And she said, ‘We want you to be exactly who you are. We don’t want you to change a thing, and we need you to bring God back into country music.’”
“一开始我很犹豫，”这位22岁的艺术家回忆道。“我说，‘我不会为了做乡村音乐而改变自己。’她说，‘我们希望你做真正的自己。我们不希望你改变任何事情，我们需要你把上帝带回乡村音乐。’”
Not that God had ever departed entirely. Faith themes are sprinkled into countless country songs. But Wilson embraced Mabe’s vision, and she has now crafted a trailblazing album that’s unmistakably both country and Christian, with a faith element in every one of its 16 tracks. It’s as entertaining as it is nourishing — chockful of lively, often sassy melodies delivered by one of contemporary music’s freshest new voices, regardless of genre.
并不是说上帝已经完全离开了。信仰主题点缀在无数的乡村歌曲中。但威尔逊接受了梅比的愿景，她现在制作了一张开拓性的专辑，毫无疑问，它既是乡村音乐，也是基督教音乐，16首歌中的每一首都有信仰元素。它既有趣又有营养——充满了生动活泼的旋律，通常是时髦的旋律，由当代音乐最新鲜的声音之一传达，无论流派如何。
Wilson proves she’s equally fluent in both the country and Christian vocabularies, and she capitalizes on all their overlaps, too. Her faith may be lightly dusted onto the lyrics, as she does in current country radio single, “Rain in the Rearview,” when she offers counsel to “listen to the voice that you hear when you pray.” Or it can pour out like mighty waters, as it does in current contemporary Christian No. 2 single, “Strong”: “I hit my knees with my hands held high / saying dear Lord Jesus you know I / can’t do this on my own.”
威尔逊证明了她在乡村和基督教词汇方面同样流利，而且她也充分利用了它们的重叠之处。她的信仰可能会被轻轻涂抹在歌词上，就像她在当前的乡村电台单曲“Rain in the Rearview”中所做的那样，她建议“倾听你祈祷时听到的声音”。或者它可以像汹涌的水流一样倾泻而出，就像当代基督教排名第二的单曲《坚强》中所唱的那样:“我双手高举，跪在地上/说，亲爱的主耶稣，你知道我/凭我自己做不到。”
