Nowhere Boy歌手简介:
英式传记《无处的男孩》追溯约翰列侬少年时期
Sony Music is pleased to announce the CD and Digital Download release of the soundtrack album of the year, "Nowhere Boy" the critically acclaimed hot new film biopic about John Lennon's teenage years which led to his musical career from the Quarrymen to his early relationship with Paul McCartney and George Harrison when the Beatles first set off to Hamburg.
Featuring the directorial debut of Sam Taylor-Wood and screenplay by Matt Greenhalgh (who wrote the script for the 2007 Joy Division filmControl), the film closed the prestigious London Film Festival and to rapturous applause and rave reviews, prompting comparisons with the runaway success of Slumdog Millionaire.
An essential addition to Beatles collections, this authentic rock'n'roll album soundtrack is released by Sony Music as a 2-disc CD set on Monday 14th December, two weeks before the film is released in the UK on Boxing Day (26th December).
The film features a wealth of British talent, including a career-defining performance from Aaron Johnson as the young John Lennon, plus outstanding performances from Kristin Scott Thomas as Aunt Mimi and Anne Marie Duff as Lennon's mother. The film has received Yoko Ono's blessing.
Nowhere Boy chronicles Lennon's life from 1955, when he was a rebellious 15-year-old living in stifling suburbia with his Aunt Mimi (Kristin Scott Thomas) and his difficult relationship with his mother (Anne Marie Duff), delves into the beginning of his music career with his first band the Quarrymen, and ends with his departure for Hamburg with two other unknowns, Paul McCartney and George Harrison.
Before Lennon formed the Beatles, rock'n'roll was a huge influence on his formative years, and therefore plays a massive part of the film. The album soundtrack is no exception.
The album is a stylishly packaged deluxe 2CD set which features the soundtrack to the film on disc one, plus a collection of vintage rock'n'roll classics that inspired John Lennon as a second disc. Interestingly, the first disc includes original tracks recorded especially for the film by the band that portray 'The Quarrymen' characters (credited on the soundtrack as The Nowhere Boys). The album features unique takes on these songs, as well as original recordings from Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly, Little Richard, Screamin' Jay Hawkins, and many more.
