I-Eurythmics iyiqembu le-pop laseBrithani elakhiwa ngeminyaka yawo-1980. Umqambi nomculi onethalente uDave Stewart kanye nomculi u-Annie Lennox basemvelaphi yeqembu.
Iqembu lokudala i-Eurythmics livela e-UK. Laba ababili "baqhumise" zonke izinhlobo zamashadi omculo, ngaphandle kokusekelwa yi-inthanethi nezinkundla zokuxhumana.
Ingoma ethi Amaphupho Amnandi (Are Made of This) isathathwa njengophawu lweqembu. Futhi okubaluleke kakhulu, ukwakheka akulahlekelwa ukukhanga kwayo kubalandeli banamuhla bomculo we-pop.
Umlando wokudalwa nokwakhiwa kweqembu le-Juritmix
Konke kwaqala ngo-1977. UBriton Dave Stewart kanye nomngani wakhe uPeter Coomes bahlangane bakha iThe Tourists. Abaculi bazibhalele owabo umculo nezingoma.
Laba ababili banqume ukwanda baba ngabathathu. Ngokushesha abafana banikeza indawo eqenjini kumfundi waseScotland weRoyal Academy of Music u-Annie Lennox.
Ekuqaleni, intombazane yayinokungabaza ngalesi siphakamiso, kodwa kamuva yazinikela ekuziqeqesheni. Konke kuhambe kakhulu. Ngokushesha u-Annie washiya iRoyal Academy of Music, lapho afunda khona ikhibhodi nomtshingo.
Kulesi sakhiwo, iqembu laqala ukunqoba izitezi zokudansa. Phakathi kukaDave no-Annie kwakungekho kuphela ukusebenza, kodwa futhi nobuhlobo bothando obungazange buphazamise ukuthuthukiswa komsebenzi wabo womculo.
I-Tourists ikhiphe ama-albhamu amaningana anobude obugcwele. Ngeshwa, amaqoqo abekude nezilinganiso eziphezulu. Laba baculi bebenobudlelwano obunzima nabahleli bale lebula, lapho bebeqopha khona izingoma. Lokhu kwaholela ekuqulweni kwecala. Ngemva kwesikhathi esithile, amalungu ebhendi amemezela ukuhlakazwa kweThe Tourists.
Ngokushesha kwacaca ukuthi ubudlelwano phakathi kuka-Annie Lennox noDave Stewart bashabalala. Ubudlelwano bothando baphela ngokushesha, kepha ochwepheshe baqhubeka nokuthuthuka. Ngakho-ke, kwasungulwa i-duet entsha, eyayibizwa ngokuthi i-Eurythmics.
U-Annie noDave bavumelana ngokushesha ukuthi ngeke babe nomholi. Bahlangana ndawonye futhi ngaphansi kwegama elisha baqala ukuqopha nokukhulula izinto ezintsha zomculo.
U-Lennox no-Stewart abazange bazithwese amafreyimu. Futhi nakuba kukhulunywa ngazo njengeqembu le-pop yase-British, ungezwa enanela ezinhlobonhlobo zomculo kumathrekhi we-duo. Bazama ngomsindo, ngokuvamile besebenzisa izinsimbi zikagesi. I-Eurythmics yanqotshwa umsindo we-avant-garde.
Indlela yokudala yeqembu le-Eurythmics
Umdidiyeli u-Conny Plank waqala ukukhangisa i-duet encane. Ngaphambi kwalokho, wayeseke wabonakala ekukhangiseni amaqembu adumile njengeNeu! kanye noKraftwerk.
Ngesikhathi sokuqoshwa kwe-albhamu yokuqala, u-Conny Plank wamema:
- umshayi wezigubhu uClem Burke;
- umqambi u-Yaka Liebezeit;
- i-flautist u-Tim Wither;
- umdlali webhesi uHolger Szukai.
Ngokushesha i-duet yethula irekhodi le-synth-pop Engadini. Naphezu kokuthi abaculi abaqeqeshiwe babambe iqhaza ekuqophelweni kweqoqo, i-albhamu yamukelwa kahle ngabagxeki nabathandi bomculo abavamile.
UDave no-Annie abazange badikibale, kodwa bamukela isikhundla esinjalo njengenselele. Baboleka imali ebhange ukuze bavule isitudiyo sokuqopha esasiphezu kwefekthri yefreyimu yezithombe.
Abaculi abazange bazisole ngesenzo sabo. Okokuqala, manje bangakwazi ukuhlola ngokukhululekile umsindo, futhi okwesibili, abafana balondoloze isabelomali sabo kakhulu.
Izinkambo zekhonsathi zenziwa ngokuqinile ngabaculi njenge-duet. Basebenzise izinhlobonhlobo zezinsimbi zomculo ukuze basize ekudaleni kabusha umsindo ogcwele. U-Annie no-Dave bazithuthele ngokwabo izinto zabo zokusebenza, njengoba babengazithembi izinsimbi zomculo "zasendaweni" ezingaqashwa ngenani elifanele.
Umsebenzi onzima onjalo awuzange uzuze abaculi - ngo-1982, u-Annie Lennox wayesesengozini yokuphazamiseka kwemizwa futhi wasinda ngokushesha. Futhi uDave Stewart wayenesifo samaphaphu.
Ukuduma okuphezulu kwe-Eurythmics
Ngokushesha i-discography ye-duo yagcwaliswa nge-albhamu yesibili yesitudiyo. Sikhuluma ngeqoqo elithi Amaphupho Amnandi (Anziwe Ngalokhu). Ngokungafani ne-albhamu yokuqala, i-albhamu yesibili yesitudiyo yakhanga abathandi bomculo, yashintsha isimo sengqondo se-Eurythmics ngakubo.
Ingoma enesihloko, eyakhululwa njengeyokuqala ku-albhamu, yaba yingoma engunombolo 1 eBrithani. Ngezindlela eziningi, impumelelo yengoma yathonywa isiqeshana sevidiyo esiqondile nesicasulayo. Kule vidiyo, u-Annie uvele phambi kwezithameli egqoke isiketi esifushane esinezinwele ezinemibala egqamile.
Laba ababili bathola ukuthandwa "ngomphimbo" hhayi eBrithani yabo kuphela. Ingoma ethi "Amaphupho Amnandi" iphezulu eshadini lase-US, futhi isithombe sika-Annie Lennox esinezinwele zezinwele ezifana nesevidiyo sihlobise ikhava yemagazini i-Rolling Stone.
Maphakathi nawo-1980, i-discography yeqembu yagcwaliswa nge-albhamu yesithathu. Irekhodi lalibizwa ngokuthi Touch. Iqoqo lamukelwe ngemfudumalo abalandeli nabagxeki bomculo. Okuphambili kwe-albhamu yesitudiyo yesithathu bekungamaculo:
- Nansi Imvula Futhi;
- Ubani lowo Ntombi?;
- Ngasohlangothini lwakho.
Kamuva, kwadutshulwa iziqeshana zevidiyo zezingoma ezisohlwini, ezasakazwa esiteshini esidumile se-MTV. Laba ababili babe sebeqopha ingoma yefilimu esuselwe kunoveli kaGeorge Orwell's dystopian 1984.
Album Be Yourself Tonight
Iqembu belikhiqiza kakhulu. Ngo-1985, i-discography yeqembu yaphinde yagcwaliswa nge-albhamu yesine yesitudiyo, Be Yourself Tonight. Leli qoqo livule isikhathi sokuhlolwa komculo. Izingoma ezivela ku-albhamu yesine zifaka isiginci se-bass, izinsimbi ezidlalwa bukhoma, kanye nesigaba sethusi.
I-albhamu yesine yesitudiyo yaqoshwa ngokuhlanganyela kwabaculi abanjengoStevie Wonder noMichael Kamen. I-albhamu ibinezingoma ezimbili eziyimpumelelo - no-Elvis Costello no-Aretha Franklin. Leli cwecwe lamukelwe ngemfudumalo ngabalandeli, ikakhulukazi bephawule ingoma ethi There Must Be an Angel ( Playing With My Heart).
Ngo-1986, i-Eurythmics yakhipha i-Revenge. Lokhu akusho ukuthi i-albhamu yesihlanu yesitudiyo idale umsindo omkhulu. Kodwa, naphezu kwalokhu kungaqondi kahle, irekhodi laba iqoqo elithengiswa kakhulu ku-discography yeqembu.
Ngesikhathi esifanayo, abaculi kancane kancane kodwa ngokuqinisekile baqala ukudlula ububanzi bomsebenzi kuphela ku-duet. ULennox waqala ukufundela ukulingisa, uStewart waqala ukudidiyela.
Manje bachitha isikhathi sabo esiningi bengaphandle kwendawo yokuqopha. Nokho, lokhu akuzange kubavimbele abaculi ekuqopheni i-albhamu entsha, ababethula ngo-1987.
Sikhuluma ngokuhlanganisa iSavage. Izingoma zomculo ezifakwe ku-disc zizwakala ngendlela entsha - edabukisayo futhi cishe ngokuphelele nomculo we-elekthronikhi. Iqoqo alikwazi ukubizwa ngokuthi liphumelele kwezohwebo. Izingoma zomculo we-duet zaba ngamaculo futhi zasondelana.
Ukuhlukaniswa kwe-Eurythmics
I-We Too Are One i-albhamu ephambili ye-Eurythmics' discography. I-duet yethula iqoqo ngo-1989. Izingoma eziningana zikwazile ukuthatha phezulu kumashadi omculo, kodwa ngisho nabalandeli bafika esiphethweni sokuthi i-Eurythmics ye-duo "yayikhathele". Kodwa kubonakala sengathi izinkulumo ezinjalo zabalandeli nabagxeki azizange zibacasule abaculi.
U-Annie Lennox ube ngowokuqala ukukhuluma ngokuhlukana kweqembu. Umculi wayefuna ukuthatha indawo njengomama. Ngaphezu kwalokho, wayefisa ukufunda omunye umsebenzi. UStuart akazange aphikise. Izinhlelo zamalungu eqembu zahlukana. Abazange baxhumane kwaze kwaba ngu-1998.
Ngesisekelo sokushona komngane ofanayo ka-Annie noDave, umculi uPete Coomes, i-Eurythmics iphinde yavela endaweni yesigameko. Wethule icwecwe elisha elithi Peace.
Iqoqo lithathe indawo yesi-4 kumashadi omculo wesiNgisi. Ngemva konyaka, iqoqo lezingoma ezihamba phambili zeqembu elibizwa ngokuthi i-Ultimate Collection lakhululwa ngamathrekhi amabili, anikezelwe ekugubheni iminyaka engu-25 yeqembu le-synth-pop.
