在如今音樂(lè)的世界充斥著形形色色的技術(shù)和竅門，

讓我們共同認(rèn)識(shí)一下Naturally 7

他們不僅僅是一個(gè)7人組成的演唱團(tuán)隊(duì)。其成員更研究出了一個(gè)耐人尋味的無(wú)伴奏合唱風(fēng)格，他們稱之為“玩聲”- 猶如樂(lè)器般的演唱。在追求聲樂(lè)的路上， Naturally 7不僅唱歌，還確保歌曲中每一種樂(lè)器都得到完美的展現(xiàn)。比如鼓，貝司，吉他，喇叭，長(zhǎng)笛......甚至包括轉(zhuǎn)盤。

現(xiàn)在Naturally 7帶著它們的最近專輯Hidden In Plain Sight和大家見面。 “大多數(shù)無(wú)伴奏合唱團(tuán)只專注于清唱部分,” Thomas說(shuō)。“這很好, 但我們盡力確保它們都是好歌。永遠(yuǎn)流行的歌。”
