Birth of a Goddess [Comprehensive English and American]

When the latest issue of Rolling Stone went on sale, many regular customers got their hands on the magazine right away.For some of them, they trust the reviews of writers in old music magazines more than the Billboard charts, and when these people are browsing the catalog pages, an unfamiliar name just jumps in like this out of their sight.

"Eliza Lin?"

Who is this?

Almost at the same time, such doubts appeared in the minds of many regular customers of "Rolling Stone".

Michael McCarthy raised his brows lightly, and let out a sigh of surprise. Unlike some music lovers who don't pay attention to the mainstream music media on the Internet, Michael, as a professional music critic, is very concerned about the emerging I still have some understanding of the new singer.

only……

Eliza Lin?

After searching in his mind for a while, Michael remembered that she was the champion contestant who came out of the "Voice of America" ​​program last year.This recognition made him unable to hold back the corners of his mouth, and curled his lips silently, "Boring drama, exaggerated performance, and a plot design so bad that it exploded."

Even with this verbal complaint, Michael opened the interview report on Elisa after flipping through the rest of the magazine.His eyes fell on the column of the writer, and a gleam of surprise flashed quickly in his eyes.

Maury Cecil, this is a proud young man.

Being in the same industry, Michael also has some understanding of this junior who has done well in recent years.Cecil has a different vision for music, which makes Michael restrain his prejudice a little and look down seriously.

'Being yourself is the best interpretation of music - to a young music apprentice'

' Eliza was never a 'media darling'.Since the "Voice of America", this young New York girl has been in the midst of controversy, but she uses her own works to fight back against all this, silently responding to the misunderstanding of the outside world.It's certainly amazing when she comes out with a brand new album after only eight months, and I'm even more surprised that the quality of the album wasn't bogged down by a relatively short production cycle. cheap……

When asked about the source of her creative inspiration, Elisa replied that her inspiration usually comes from her own life experience, and sometimes she is touched by some social events.Although she claims to have "no musical talent" and "a complete beginner in this area", it is no exaggeration to say that among the songs I have heard of Elisa, the part she made herself may be rough, but it is full of inspiration .She can always give different ideas and add different elements to the methods that many producers have become accustomed to. In my opinion, this "wild way" is the most charming part of her music.

... Contrary to the usual reports in the media, Eliza showed extreme humility.Compared to a mature musician, I think, perhaps the description of "music apprentice" is more suitable for her.Her control over her works has reached an insanely precise level.Compared with me as a music critic, her thinking about her own music path has been far ahead.

I look forward to what kind of music she will bring next. '

This report is full of Cecil's consistent writing style, a long-winded article, without a rigorous logical chain or a standard news model, but with a strong individualistic style, allowing readers to observe such a young man through his eyes. musician.In the end, Cecil scored 85 points for Eliza's album according to the [-]-point scoring rule.

Cecil's report was also posted on Metacritic, the largest album rating website in the United States, three days after the issue of "Rolling Stone" magazine was released. At this time, the second week of Eliza's first album had not yet passed.

Cecil's report seemed to be torn open. After this report was passed on Metacritic, music critics from various media also began to comment on the quality of this album.Among them, the music magazine "NME", which was the first to invite Elisa for an interview, gave it 90 points without hesitation.

The evaluations of these media also made some people who hadn't noticed Eliza's album began to be curious about this album.Under such a trend, the sales of Eliza's first album did not decrease but increased in the second week, and began to rise rapidly on the Friday of the second week.

The media reporter who faintly smelled some signs had already begun to actively contact Elisa's manager Carlos, trying to get an exclusive interview with Eliza.But Carlos smiled, and sternly declined all media invitations.

But at this time, Eliza, who was hunted crazy by media reporters, had already returned to Queens, New York.

The reason is simple. If Eliza wants to get her grades this semester, she must pass the general assessment at the end of the semester.Most of the students' test subjects ended at the end of May, but due to special circumstances, Elisa and the school applied for a postponement of the test.It was only mid-June when Eliza finished the circular and finally had time to return to school to take the exam.

The preparation time left for Elisa is only three short days.

The feeling of going back to school during this period of time made Elisa a little strange. Except for a small number of students who also stayed behind for the exam, such an empty campus was something that Elisa had never seen in her memory.And when the few classmates that Elisa could see faced her, the strange excited eyes made Eliza feel a little depressed.

On Eliza's first night back at school, she complained about it to Bruce on a video call.At that time, the black-haired man on the other side of the screen let out a burst of hearty laughter under her stare, "Eliza, you know, they haven't met before."

Eliza pursed her lips, but had to admit that Bruce was telling the truth.It's not that she participated in a show and made her debut, which brought about earth-shaking changes to her whole person, but under such circumstances, she does seem a little... special among her classmates.

"Hi, Peter." When Eliza finished her last subject and walked out of the classroom, she saw the brown-haired man with his hands in his trouser pockets leaning against the wall in a quiet trance, "Please wait for me."

Peter turned his head to look at Elisa, showing a shy smile, "It's okay, no trouble."

Christopher has now changed his usual residence to Atlanta. This time when Elisa returned to New York to prepare for the exam, Christopher proposed to come back to live for a while, but Eliza refused.At the beginning, she prepared three meals for the past few days and dealt with them casually, but was dragged home by the enthusiastic Mrs. Parker.

Elisa's postponed exam subjects were all over within three days, but Peter, who had obviously been on vacation for the past few days, came to school with Elisa almost every day.

On the way home, Peter raised his eyes and secretly looked at the girl's side face, but there was a trace of worry in his eyes.Although Mr. Stark did not fully disclose to him what happened to Elisa, but being able to use such a complete set of physical testing instruments, no matter how you think about it, it will not be an easy problem to solve.

When Peter walked to the door with worries in his heart, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.Elisa's eyes fell on the sports car parked in front of her house. She was taken aback for a moment, and then when she saw the faint figure behind the window, she seemed to think of something, her eyes suddenly lit up, and the corners of her mouth stopped. Can't stop rising.

She ran to the side of the car, and before she reached out to knock on the window, the window opened, revealing the handsome face behind.A pair of sunglasses was placed on the bridge of the man's nose, and when the corners of his mouth were curled up, he was full of a handsome feeling.

"Why did you come here?" After a burst of excitement, Elisa asked her doubts.

Bruce chuckled and took off his sunglasses, staring into Eliza's eyes, "I'm here to give you a surprise, I remember you said you finished the exam today, right? I'll take you down."

Eliza let out a "puchi" laugh, but her heart was full of sweetness.

She did mention in the video call that the exam is over today, but that was already a week ago. She didn't expect Bruce to remember it so clearly and wait for her at her door according to this time.

"Eliza, is this someone you know?" Peter couldn't stand still when Elisa ran over. Hearing the conversation between Elisa and the person whose name he didn't know, he had a faint feeling in his heart. guess.When he actually saw that face, he was taken aback suddenly, "Mr. Wayne?"

When this sentence reached Bruce's ears, he turned his head sharply to look at the unattractive student, with an inquiring light in his eyes.

Bruce has full confidence in his memory. The moment Peter spoke, he was sure that he had heard this voice somewhere, and it was a special occasion, otherwise he would not have such a deep memory.

Peter was still in shock.

His eyes flicked between Eliza and Bruce, his tongue seemed to be knotted, and he couldn't utter a complete sentence for a long time.

"Peter, what are you doing standing at the door?"

Hearing Aunt May's voice, Peter regained his sanity, "I'm...I'm chatting with Elisa!"

"Then come in and talk."

Aunt Mei opened the door as soon as she said that, her eyes swept over the three people in front of the house, even though she saw Bruce, she just smiled on her face, "Is Eliza's friend here? Then Come in together."

When the three of them were still in a daze, they were already sitting on the sofa.
