专辑介绍：
Mr Bongo厂牌自豪推出墨尔本/纳姆（Naarm）多才多艺音乐人唐·格洛里（Don Glori，本名戈登·李/Gordon Li）的第三张专辑《Paper Can't Wrap Fire》。这是一场万花筒般的跨流派音乐之旅，将爵士、灵魂乐与放克熔于一炉，既具当代质感又散发经典韵味，熟悉中透着新意，标志着艺术家在创作巅峰期的自信突破，尽显其创意才华与独特的音乐语言。
唐·格洛里在《Paper Can't Wrap Fire》中大胆转向歌曲创作，巧妙展现了作为词曲作者与乐队领袖的才华，并邀请纳姆音乐圈的一众好友加盟。相较于前作以爵士为根基的风格，这张专辑融入了更多灵魂乐、节奏布鲁斯与放克元素，同时也为熟悉其早期作品的乐迷保留了充足的爵士内核。
专辑标题源自中国古老谚语“纸包不住火”，寓意“真相无法被掩盖”，这一核心理念贯穿于所有曲目。唐·格洛里提到：“许多歌曲都围绕着探寻真相、生活观察，以及人们为应对生活而戴上的面具（正如封面艺术所示）。”例如，感性的灵魂乐单曲《Brown Eyes》由ML Hall以丝滑嗓音演绎，剖析了少数群体的经历，以及构建社群所带来的力量与慰藉；《Disaster》则以讽刺笔触直指“体制服务于所有人却唯独忽略艺术家”的现实；《Flicker》则通过内省探讨真相与明晰的意义。将深刻内涵与精湛乐技相结合，正是这张专辑的卓越之处——唐·格洛里证明了自己不仅能创作打动人心的旋律，更能引发听众的思想共鸣。
专辑录制于纳姆科林伍德的Rolling Stock录音室，在两个炎热的夏日里完成，阵容汇聚了唐的朋友与家人：包括蒂姆·考克斯（Tim Cox）、阿尔·肯尼迪（Al Kennedy）、乔尔·特里格（Joel Trigg）、罗宾·卡明斯（Robyn Cummins）和拉克兰·汤普森（Lachlan Thompson）等曾与他在伦敦巡演的核心团队，以及ML Hall、鲁比·达加维尔（Ruby Dargaville）、伊莎多拉·劳里茨（Isadora Lauritz）和比安卡·基里亚库（Bianca Kyriacou）等杰出歌手。此外，小号演奏家奥黛丽·鲍恩（Audrey Powne）、萨克斯手约书亚·摩西（Joshua Moshe）与巴西音乐人阿尔西德斯·内托（Alcides Neto）也为专辑注入了独特的爵士风情与巴西魔力。
受Azymuth、SAULT、Jordan Rakei、Lynda Dawn等艺术家，以及伦敦NTS电台与Total Refreshment Centre等音乐地标的启发，唐·格洛里在创作中融入多元养分，最终呈现出一张毫无掩饰、纯粹展现自我特质的独特专辑——无需面具，唯有真实的音乐灵魂在律动。
音乐风格与制作亮点：
- **风格融合**：以爵士为骨架，灵魂乐的情感深度与放克的节奏感为血肉，穿插巴西音乐的灵动韵律（如《Ron Song》的巴萨诺瓦气息）。
- **人声亮点**：ML Hall在《Brown Eyes》中的叙事性演唱、Ruby Dargaville在《Precious》中的福音式和声，赋予歌曲戏剧张力。
- **器乐编排**：《Power》中铜管组的爆发力与电子合成器的未来感碰撞，《Saturn's Return》以迷幻吉他音效营造宇宙哲思氛围。
- **制作理念**：采用 analog 录音技术，保留现场演奏的呼吸感，如《Flicker》中鼓组的动态层次与钢琴即兴段落的自然衔接。
《Paper Can't Wrap Fire》不仅是一张音乐专辑，更是一曲对“真实”的颂歌——在流派界限日益模糊的当下，唐·格洛里以勇气揭开表象，让音乐成为照见灵魂的明镜。

Mr Bongo proudly presents the third album by Melbourne/Naarm multi-instrumentalist, Don Glori, entitled 'Paper Can't Wrap Fire'. A kaleidoscopic genre-surfing odyssey that brings together the worlds of jazz, soul and funk. Feeling both contemporary and classic, familiar yet novel, it's an assured third release that sees an artist in full flight, showcasing their creative prowess and the uniqueness of their musical voice.
Steering in a new direction, Don Glori (aka Gordon Li) has delved headfirst into his songwriting with 'Paper Can't Wrap Fire'. Deftly showcasing his talents as a writer and bandleader, he brings with him a whole host of friends from the creative crossroads that is Naarm. It's an album enriched with more soul, R&B, and funk-oriented songs than his previous jazz-rooted productions, yet there's still plenty of jazz material for those familiar fans of Don's earlier works.
The album's title is an old Chinese proverb, roughly translated as 'you can't deny the truth'. This underlying thread is woven between the songs. "A lot of them are in some way about truth-seeking, observations and the masks you put on to deal with life (hence the cover art)", Don mentions. Take, for instance, the sensational soul single 'Brown Eyes' featuring silky lead vocals by ML Hall. A dissection of the minority experience, and the power and comfort in building those communities. Elsewhere, 'Disaster' is a satirical take on the structures serving everyone but the artists, and 'Flicker' tackles notations of truth and clarity after introspection. To marry that meaning with the level of musicianship on these tracks is what really stands out. Don has set out his stall here as an artist who can write songs that hit home in the heart, as much as they do in the head.
It's a journey infused with a glistening jazz finesse, layered with nourishing vocal harmonies and powered by an instantly relatable human soul. Recorded over two hot summer days in Rolling Stock Studios in Collingwood, Naarm, the lineup of musicians is built up of Don's friends and family. Featuring the backbone team of Tim Cox, Al Kennedy, Joel Trigg, Robyn Cummins and Lachlan Thompson, who were part of Don's touring band before he relocated to London, and a stunning selection of vocalists in the form of ML Hall, Ruby Dargaville, Isadora Lauritz, and Bianca Kyriacou. Also gracing the album are trumpeter extraordinaire Audrey Powne, saxophonist Joshua Moshe, and Alcides Neto who sprinkles some Brazilian magic into the record.
Taking influence from artists including Azymuth, SAULT, Jordan Rakei and Lynda Dawn, as well as from London musical beacons such as NTS and Total Refreshment Centre, Don has run with this, leaned in and come out with a record truly unique to himself and his distinctive core, with no mask necessary.
