musical gifts. Being one of the most successful singer-songwriters in her generation, Alicia manages to capture the old-school vibe[（非正式）电颤琴] and collaborated in[协作] her keyboard for some rich, powerful music.
Q: Hello Alicia. Welcome back to Hong Kong.
A: Thank you.
Q: So it’s been four years since you released an
album, so why the time?
A: You know, it’s…it’s an interesting process, and when you release an album you start with about six months worth of promo[宣传活动]. And then I’m fortunate
to be an artist that is able to tour. So I toured for a good two and a half years. So already that brings us till 2006. And then I did two films. You know…had some time that I had to take to…to be with my family, and to just have time off and not to be always doing something. And then you have to write a new album. So it takes time to put it all together, you know. But it’s
…but it’s been an incredible experience, and I’ve learned so much, and I feel like taking my time with making this next record made it an incredible record, so it’s worth the wait.
Q: Okay, so how is this record different from your
previous ones?
A: It’s different because I’m different, you know…just more aware of myself as a woman, as a person. I’m
definitely a better songwriter and better musician, better producer better all around. I think that you will definitely see that with the arrangements on this record the sounds, the music. You, you’ll feel the growth. My voice has grown; everything’s grown. So
it’s just…it’s just me and who you love and who you know, but it’s the even better version.

音乐。
问：你好，艾莉西亚，欢迎重临香港。
答：谢谢。
问：距离你上次出专辑已经四年了，为什么要这么久呢？
答：你知道，这……这是个很有趣的过程。要推出唱片时，你首先得花大约六个月的时间进行宣传。当时我很幸运，有机会开巡回演唱会。这一巡回就花了整整两年半，完结时已经是2006年了。之后我拍了两部电影，你知道……又抽了些时间去……陪伴家人，放放假，不忙着工作。然后你得为新唱片作曲写词。要把这些都搞好需要时间，你知道。但它……但这个过程奇妙无穷，我学到了许多东西。我认为这样的“慢工出细活”会令这张唱片更加出色，所以等一会儿也是值得的。
问：好的。那么，这张专辑与前一张有什么不同呢？
答：新旧不同，在于我不同了，你知
道……更了解自己这个女人、这个人。我（现在）肯定是更好的作曲人、更好的歌手、更好的音乐监制――各方面都进步了。我想你肯定能从这张专辑的编曲里看出来――我的声线、音乐等各方面都有进步。你，你能感觉到我的成长。我的声音更成熟了，一切都更成熟了。所以这只是……这个依然是你们所钟爱和熟悉的我，只是更上一层楼了。
