昔日的R&B大厂Arista已经很久没有作为了,今夏强势推出的Paula DeAnda被抱以很大期望。从成绩上看,应该也算获得初步的成功,《Doing To Much》在点播上先拔头筹,《Walk Away》紧接着也送上电台,如此密集的宣传攻势,成功为Paula DeAnda打开了局面。聆听这张《Paula DeAnda》,可以充分感受到Arista倾注的心血,但是,若要凭此便一扫颓势,还是比较困难。以前说过Joey Moe走着一条众多白人男孩儿的R&B老路,Paula DeAnda又何尝不是呢?白人女孩儿们高唱粉红色系的少女R&B,也早已没有任何新鲜玩意儿,陷入模式化的僵局。充满少女憧憬的歌词,上口好听的旋律,流行的腔调搭配R&B的节奏,如果这种伪R&B前几年还是万金油的话,现在早已失去效力,因为今年流行的是充满摇滚或朋克气息的个性少女,Paula DeAnda这种乖乖牌,想要出头已然不易。而在艺人定位上,Arista也扮演着追随者的角色。从几年前14岁的Mikaila,到去年走红的14岁少女Jojo,再到今天16岁的Paula DeAnda,无论从个人风格亦或演唱技巧都是如此相似,少女R&B这条路几年来已经相当饱和,听过Mikaila的专辑,还会有谁对Paula DeAnda充满渴求呢?何况,为了突出与她们年龄不相称的嗓音条件,这些女孩儿们不约而同的让自己的声音充满力道,Paula DeAnda在专辑中过于卖力的演唱,反而破坏了整体的和谐。毕竟,唱功再优秀,载体也是少女R&B,声音再成熟,年龄也不过16岁。当Jojo凭借首张专辑获得成功之时,Paula DeAnda能从她手中抢走多少听众,只能靠旋律说话。好在《Paula DeAnda》拥有不少好听的歌曲,吸引那些低龄乐迷已经完全足够。专辑制作人有大名鼎鼎的Stargate,还有Frankie J,品质自然不会出错。客串的大牌也不少,从Baby Bash到Lil' Wayne,Arista的众志成城倒也显而易见,不过新晋女Rapper Ak'Sent在《Make A Clap To This》的出现实在让人莫名其妙,倒也凸现Arista商业上的急功近利。客观地说,《Paula DeAnda》是张好听的专辑,但是当视野上升到产业高度之时,却很清晰地看到了这些白人少女们的末路。
