Khalid:易感心靈的青春畢冊
青春向來是流行音樂的關鍵詞,青春的畫面大抵就是人們對於流行音樂的過份美好想像。台灣人們口中的青春一部份來自歐美,那種打破表面常規的率性衝勁,背後是疏離憂鬱;另一部份則從日本移植來透明纖細的校園故事,沒命似奔跑揮灑亮晶晶汗水。無論怎麼想像,青春的本質都建立在人生頭一回找尋自我存在意義的過程。任何的徬徨、承諾、掏心、縱身,都是前所未有。所以當美國黑人歌手 Khalid 在 2017 年推出名為《American Teen》的首張專輯時,他所欲代言的「美式青春」於我們乍看是那麼陌生(畢竟,黑人青年多的是愛談人生征戰與浪漫情趣,少有人直面惆悵的青澀),但內裡其實不難引起廣大共鳴。
還記得你的高三生活嗎?全校唯你獨尊、意氣風發;但另一方面又離情依依、未來不知黑暗或光明。對於社會時政開始有主張、會批評、常不滿;但依然為自己生在一個自由的美麗國家而感到無比驕傲。從各種班際校際派對、畢業典禮中完成專屬於你的一年。跨越那條線之後,青春就是你做為一個成人的基石了。《American Teen》就是這樣的一部作品,是 19 歲的 Khalid 在青春末期獻給同代孩子的畢業紀念冊(也多虧他幸運且努力,才不至於讓專輯名稱過了保鮮期)。裡頭當然沒有「步步高升」或「勿忘我」之類的陳腔濫調,而是他在不安定的生活中磨練出的早慧與易感心靈。
Khalid 的母親是影響他最深的人,總是在家裡播放各種流行音樂。母親原本希望能成為 R&B 歌手,卻為了家庭與工作機會當上職業軍人,好在順利錄取軍中合唱團延續音樂夢,否則就得上戰場與 Khalid 分離。由於任務需要,每隔幾年就得舉家遷移,最遠甚至到德國。流動的日子逼 Khalid 快速成長、習慣世間沒有永恆的美好時光:「說再見時大家都說會保持聯絡,結果一通電話也沒有打來」。被迫提早完結的愛情亦如是,留在身上的只有回憶與存在手機裡、不知何年何月才會撥打的號碼,後來成為他的單曲〈Saved〉,也讓《American Teen》裡遍佈心碎的痕跡。早熟的 Khalid 甚至厭棄網路交流,在他第一支單曲〈Location〉裡唱到:「把你的位置傳給我,讓我們可以專注溝通」,復古的情懷與他音樂中海量的八零年代合成音色如出一轍。
原本打算投身音樂劇與歌唱教學的 Khalid,在高中時發現創作的自我療癒能力,就此踏上了不一樣的人生。他不僅師法 Frank Ocean、Usher、TLC 等同流派前輩,也從另類的 James Blake、Grizzly Bear 處得到啟發。很幸運地,RCA 唱片公司的藝人部副總從 Soundcloud 發現這塊瑰寶,將他簽入旗下;接著擁有數千萬粉絲的社群名媛 Kylie Jenner 在 Snapchat 分享了〈Location〉,讓串流次數一口氣爆增幾十倍,那天正是 Khalid 的畢業典禮。他的另一首代表作〈Young Dumb & Broke〉說的是年輕情侶一無所有卻仍愛得理直氣壯,如今他不再一無所有,但笑起來一大排白牙燦爛如鄰家男孩依舊。
竄出樂壇僅僅 2 年,Khalid 已在全球掀起自己也不敢想像的熱潮。有人稱他是 20 年一遇的才子,有人封他為世代之聲,不僅名列 BBC「Sound of 2018」第 4 位,更以爆紅新秀之姿入圍 5 項葛萊美獎。那把絕無僅有的天生中低音嗓與年齡毫不相稱(和他濃密的大鬍子一樣),慵懶如棉羽,醇厚似美酒,愈聽愈是入味,遠非一般唱片文宣所能形容。饒舌歌手 Logic、舞曲 DJ Marshmello、電音金童 Calvin Harris 找他合作,結果都反客為主般變成自己的歌,存在感極為巨大。
過去的孤單悲傷,讓 Khalid 特別珍視每個與歌迷交流的機會,在演唱會上更是容易人來瘋。這位高中時的全校 prom king,所到之處都散發超群的感染力,歌迷大合唱聲響永遠震耳欲聾。在那樣台上台下的相互熱烈應和中,像是能具體看見這青春世代的集體共感;他們歡欣的內裡,其實是耐人尋味的美國年輕孩子不為人知的另一面貌。

Lyrics:
Send me your location let's
Focus on communicating 'cause
I just need the time and place to come through
(Place to come through)
Send me your location let's
Ride the vibrations
I don't need nothing else but you
At times I wonder why I fool with you
But this is new to me, this is new to you
Initially, I didn't wanna fall for you
Gather my attention it was all for you, so don't
Take advantage, don't leave my heart damaged
To understand that things go a little bit better when you plan it
So won't you send me, your location let's
Focus on communicating 'cause
I just need the time and place to come through
Send me your location let's
Ride the vibrations
I don't need nothing else but you
I got a condo in Manhattan
Baby girl, what's hatnin'?
You and your ass invited
So gon' and get to clappin'
Go pop it for a player
Pop, pop it for me
Turn around and drop it for a player
Drop, drop it for me
I'll rent a beach house in Miami
Wake up with no jammies (Nope)
Lobster tail for dinner
Julio serve that scampi (Julio!)
You got it if you want it
Got, got it if you want it
Said you got it if you want it
Take my wallet if you want it now
Jump in the Cadillac, girl, let's put some miles on it
Anything you want, just to put a smile on it
You deserve it baby, you deserve it all
And I'm gonna give it to you
Gold jewelry shining so bright
Strawberry champagne on ice
Lucky for you, that's what I like, that's what I like
Lucky for you, that's what I like, that's what I like
Sex by the fire at night
Silk sheets and diamonds all white
Lucky for you, that's what I like, that's what I like
Lucky for you, that's what I like, that's what I like
