加拿大獨立創作歌手Amy Millan成名是在獨立搖滾樂隊Stars作爲主唱期間，同時，Amy Millan如少女般獨立氣質的Vox也時常出現在Sixteen Tons、Broken Social Scene和Jason Collett的專輯。在06年發行首張個人專輯「Honey from the Tombs」前，Amy Millan樂隊時期的作品已經向人們證明她的天賦和才華。「Honey from the Tombs」的民謠風竟頗似Johnny Cash和Lucinda Williams，Amy Millan輕輕地抱著原聲吉他在衆多樂手的簇擁下彈唱。盡管專輯的器樂是蔥郁的，可是寫滿遺憾、失戀的歌詞和Amy Millan的Vox卻是如此孤寂，難掩悲傷的氣韻，仿佛只是她在空曠荒涼的原野輕輕彈唱而已。無論是新作「Masters Of The Burial」，還是「Honey from the Tombs」，我們都可以在Amy Millan的作品看到關于死亡的字眼。「Masters Of The Burial」延續著「Honey from the Tombs」的傷感困惑，不過Amy Millan的作品始終沒有抽象迷離的影象，也沒有複雜晦澀的和弦，而她只需要深入人心的情感就足以。在新作「Masters Of The Burial」裏，並非所有的歌曲全是Amy Millan創作，也有四首翻唱曲目，分別是來自Death Cab for Cutie的I Will Follow You Into The Dark、Sarah Harmer的Old Perfume、Richard Hawley的Run for Me和Jenny Whiteley的Day to Day。選取耳熟能詳的I Will Follow You Into The Dark作爲試聽曲目，淺顯易懂的歌詞和流暢的原聲吉他聽來如此舒適，而Amy Millan充滿獨立氣質的唱腔更是讓我著迷。

Stars樂團女主唱Amy Millan 首張個人專輯 民謠低語的呢喃

如果你曾經沈醉在Stars的浪漫氛圍裡，你一定記 得女主唱Amy Millan，那清澈、溫柔又賦予情感的嗓音，曾譜出的那些動人旋律。來自加拿大樂團Stars（繁星）女主唱Amy Millan的第一張個人創作，有別於Stars的熱鬧浪漫，Amy個人作品有份沈靜的自在，以及自由無拘的鄉村氣息。

在舞台上的Amy，有著搖滾巨星般的風采：帥氣、奔放，收放自如，一舉一動都牽動樂迷的心。而她的個人專輯，充滿鄉村韻味的曲風，也襯托出，這張別於樂團以外的音樂創作，是一樣的內斂、精緻，而且足夠再三品味的。帶著些許沙啞的嗓音，以輕描淡寫的語氣緩緩唱著，字句間卻充滿深情；就算坐在吵雜的咖啡館，她的聲音還是會鑽進你的耳朵，停留在你腦海。如詩一般的歌詞，佐著率性吉他，讓你體會到人間冷暖、世故與天真。
