california --akia

马东东

Akia是2002年环球推出的新人，她的首支也是唯一一支单曲《California》在Urban和跨界电台的点播率超过450万次。按理说，签约一个好的唱片公司，发行一支能受到瞩目的单曲，她的前途至少会相对平坦些。可是，当2003年暑期她的首张EP《Atruprncss》发行后，一切便戛然而止。
    Akia的声音甜美可人，力度柔软，与乐坛天后Janet有些许相似。本身辨识度并不算很好，加上过于流畅的歌曲旋律，听罢其声音反而无法留下任何印象。旋律抢足了Akia本身的风头，歌曲本身成为震撼听众耳膜的因素，而不是Akia，这就是所谓的歌红人不红吧。虽然Akia声线柔美，但是个性全无，而且在《Atruprncss》中完全听不出她有何过人的唱功，想在众多的名字中记住Akia，仿佛成为一件难事。作为一个歌手，无法让听众认识她的声音，便注定了她的失败。不夸张地说，Akia演唱着所有歌手都能演唱的歌曲，任何女歌手都能成为这些旋律的主人。

[Verse 1]

Starin out my window at you
Gettin by aint the same without you
And I aint the same without you
Can't even do my thing without you
So Long
To the one I Love
And I remember how it was
I wish I could be back there cuz
I wanna be back where I can...

[Chorus]
Take the top off the ride
We can cruise around
Listen to the sound as the sun goes down
And there's a party goin on every corner
Thatz why i gotta be in California
We can take the top off the ride
And hit the shore
We can hit sunset
We can hit the stores
And there's a party goin on every corner
Thatz why i gotta be in California

[Verse 2]
Starin out my window at you
Gettin by aint the same without you
But life aint the same without you
Cuz I know that it will be too long
Before I see you
Tears from my eyes cry too
Tears from my eyes cry too
I love it when the breeze comes through
So as soon as I get back I'm gonna...

[Chorus]

[Bridge]
Top of the ride
We can cruise around
Listen to the sounds till the sun goes down
And there's a party goin on every corner
Thatz why i gotta be in California Baby
Top off the ride
And hit the shore
We can hit sunset
There aint no better sunset

[Rap]
We in the city with the cadillacs
The chevolets
And it be sunny every day
It never rains
And we be in 'em Drop Top
Wit Hop Hop
Gettin 3 wheels lookin for the spots
With them mamis in the party pants
And cornrows
Thatz anywhere from Crenshaw to Melrose
We ridin down sunset
Long as i got a blunt left
If you can smell you can tell
I'm from the west
