《Listen》是由美国性感女神Beyonce演唱的《Dream Girls》中的插曲,该歌曲难度很大,是全球范围内,任何选秀节目,挑战唱功,次数最多的歌曲,也是最能挑战歌手实力的一首歌。碧昂斯的音色既纯净清澈、流露灵性,又狂野不羁、高亢激情,让听者足以引起人们心灵的震动。
歌曲直接横跨了小字组 3个八度,被很多挑战者直呼根本拔不上去,里面的转音颤音很多,稍不留神就会找不到歌曲的调子,所以要求演唱者要有充足的肺活量和歌唱功底。不得不说,碧昂斯的很多歌曲,都成为了国人挑战“英文歌” 中最热门的。
这首《Listen》展示了那些小镇子里走出的并怀揣着大城市梦想的女孩的心声,她们越来越意识到,名利背后真正的代价远远高于她们曾经的预料,她们决定听从自己心内的声音,回归自我。
