Mel & Kim – That’s The Way It Is (US 12″)
“That’s the Way It Is” is a hit single by British pop duo Mel and Kim that was featured on the soundtrack album of Coming to America, starring Eddie Murphy. The song was written and produced by Stock Aitken Waterman. The single peaked at #10 in the UK, becoming their fourth consecutive top 10 hits.
By the time of the single’s release, Melanie Appleby had been diagnosed with cancer and had withdrawn from the public eye in mid-1987. Appleby discharged herself from the hospital to record the vocals for the track. The sisters made Mel’s illness public at the time of the release of this single, and both appeared on the Wogan show in April 1988 while Mel was still undergoing treatment, as part of European Cancer Week.
“That’s the Way It Is” would be the last release of the duo, as they disappeared from the public eye again while Mel Appleby continued her cancer treatment. She succumbed to pneumonia in January 1990, her immune system weakened by chemotherapy. Some of the songs she co-wrote with Kim Appleby during the last 2 years of her life were later released on Kim’s solo album released in late 1990.

#TWICE[超话]##twice璀璨糖果路##The Feels-Twice[音乐]# The feels乐评
Kpop顶级人气女团TWICE于2021年10月1日，正式发售了出道六年以来首张英文单曲专辑《The feels》。带有TWICE风格的原汁原味英文单曲专辑《The feels》，是对全球粉丝的答谢。单曲表达了一见钟情时的怦然心动与幸福，散发着独特的groove的迪斯科pop风格！这次单曲实现了粉丝们所期待的少女风，却在其中参杂着新鲜的美式复古元气感，就如同秋日里的一杯热可可。时尚的视觉以及自由的氛围使得9人魅力倍增！
新歌《The feels》以快节奏的迪斯科pop为体裁，搭配上富有节奏感的贝斯以及迪斯科synth鼓点等多种元素构成了令人中毒的“致命”旋律。唱出了TWICE一见钟情的激动。
TWICE变换多种身份，尝试不同的新风格。这次站在话题中心的TWICE的视觉概念与时尚风格也是令人期待的重点。干练中但有甜美气息的校园风和自由氛围碰撞出了新的火花。从预告到MV，9人9色的新魅力都让人感受到了青春的活力气息。
不同于其他秋日歌曲的悲伤凄美风，TWICE的这次英单就像是秋日落叶下的一颗闪耀的迪斯科球。让人有种在百老汇和上世纪歌舞厅内跳舞的感觉，细品后又有种在秋风微冷的秋日饮下一杯热巧克力的幸福感。复古disco的感觉与甜美少女感融合的非常好，使得歌曲可听性大大提高。复古的disco背景音与TWICE的固有旋律相融合，一方面保留了所谓的“Kpop”味，另一方面又保持了TWICE歌曲的风格。这是带有TWICE原汁原味的歌曲风格！
在这次回归中，成员也通过改变唱腔来使得风格得到一个新的转变。新单虽然音调高，但TWICE的唱腔比起韩单的“少女音”，在英单中，不那么尖锐，成员的唱腔如此普遍听起来更宽厚了。成员们的声音与唱腔都更加厚而稳，使得整体曲风更加适用于秋季，更加复古稳重。稳而厚重的音色使整体风格基调更像一杯香醇可口的热可可。
并且，《The feels》获得了全球五大权威乐评之一 NME五星满分好评，在歌曲发行后包揽了世界趋势前三，发行首日占据27个地区一位。TWICE于这次英单回归再次证明了自己在全球的人气，向世界注入了TWICE独一份的活力剂！
在逐渐转凉的秋日，你确定不与TWICE一同尝试带有disco风味的热可可吗？
