一聽音樂網

和Angel Taylor坐一塊兒，她的魅力跟她的音樂一樣。聊到她的首磚《Love Travels》發行的激動心情時，顯然AT——這位20歲歌手兼創作——很樂意談論這張專輯的靈感。但是很快，她分享的故事都難以跟她的才華相稱：專輯里《Love Travels》的12首歌，不僅僅是她個人寫給音樂的信，而是12個有血有肉的故事，經歷，我們會經歷過，分享過。這些人名也許不一樣，故事依舊。



Sitting next to Angel Taylor, her charisma is as palpable as her music itself. Talking with her about the passionate swirl of her debut release, Love Travels, the 20 year-old singer-songwriter is quick to share stories about her inspirations, but those stories fast become secondary to the true magic of her talent as a songwriter: The 12 tracks

on Love Travels are more than just personal missives that Angel Taylor has set to music, they are living and breathing experiences that we have all shared. The names may change, but the stories remain the same.



"Anyone who has ever wanted to be loved very deeply by someone, but hasn't, will totally be able to grab hold of these songs," says Taylor. "That's what this album is about - wanting it so bad, not having it, and wondering why... It's a lot of questions."

And while Taylor doesn't pretend to have any answers, there's no escaping how good it feels to get engulfed by her insecurities, romanced by her vulnerability, and swooned by her tender lyrics and swaying melodies. Feeling self-conscious about listening to love songs written by a girl barely removed from her teens? Try and remember when love hurt

the most, that high school spark that never flickered into a flame, or the flame that fanned out as quickly as it flared, making everything around you ache and throb. In a lot of ways, the love Angel Taylor is writing about is the most pure, untainted by a lifetime of experiences that too often devour the idealism of the helpless romantic buried in us

all.



"I don't think it's got anything to do with age or experience, because I think your heart speaks much faster than you might imagine. I mean, I don't even know that I can say I've fallen in love, but it's still not surprising for me to speak or sing about love like I do, because I've felt it... I've felt how I think it's supposed to feel, and whether that

was really love or not, I've still meant it with all my heart."
