Karen Elson - Pretty Babies

来自英国曼彻斯特的Karen Elson是世界超模。她也搞音乐了?是的,但并非那种趁红什么也想插上一脚的情况。她是纽约市效力餐馆或夜总会歌舞表演乐团The Citizens Band的表演者之一。之中她翻唱了不少The Velvet Underground、Kurt Well、Elvis Presley、Marlene Dietrich的名曲。同时她也和成员们一起创作歌曲。唱歌的路走得缓慢。2006年在专辑《Monsieur Gainsbourg Revisited》中和Cat Power合唱“I Love You (Me Either)”,即来自原版法曲"Je t'aime... moi non plus"。

丈夫Jack White听见Karen Elson私密地躲在家里的各个角落唱着自己的歌曲。老公就问为何要隐瞒他。从此收到激励的她不停创作,直至她终于创作了第一张个人专辑《The Ghost Who Walks》,从此为她的歌唱事业真正用力推开大门。
Supermodel Karen Elson's debut album "The Ghost Who Walks" was produced by her husband Jack White. It receives good reviews for her folk rock indie songs. I actually like her identity of being a supermodel and singer-songwriter, the subtly coolness is what I fascinated most.
