樂(lè)隊(duì)簡(jiǎn)介
Devotion成立于1997年，是由五個(gè)來(lái)自加利福尼亞州橘子郡的小伙子在1997年組建的樂(lè)隊(duì)，樂(lè)隊(duì)在2000年2月推出了第一張專輯《Image Of Devotion》，歌曲My prayer就是出自這張專輯。而其中的單曲When I與Talking 2 U在美國(guó)的亞裔市場(chǎng)取得了轟動(dòng)的效應(yīng)，使得Devotion樂(lè)隊(duì)成功晉身為美國(guó)三大亞裔樂(lè)隊(duì)之一（另外兩支為Kai與One Voice）。

專輯簡(jiǎn)介
When I單曲的銷(xiāo)售量在北卡地區(qū)登頂。之后，他們進(jìn)行了一次“Image of Devotion”之旅，在圣迭戈、洛杉磯、舊金山、西雅圖、多倫多、芝加哥、紐約、休斯敦和拉斯維加斯等地巡回演出。之后，在2002年Devotion與菲律賓唱片公司Viva簽約，在2003年7月，他們推出了另一張專輯《Devotion》，這張專輯共收錄14首歌，其中有12首由他們自己創(chuàng)作。其中，單曲“So Wonderful”在電臺(tái)播出后反響非常強(qiáng)烈，被收錄進(jìn)菲律賓電影《Walang Kapalit》做電影音樂(lè)。期間，他們?cè)贛TV Asia上亮過(guò)相，2004年，Devotion重新回到美國(guó)加入jE唱片公司開(kāi)始新的歌曲創(chuàng)作。
我想告訴大家的是，Image Of Devotion中不只是只有My Prayer一首好歌，Devotion5位成員都相當(dāng)有實(shí)力，歌曲無(wú)論從配樂(lè)到和聲的處理，從歌詞到旋律都十分精致，完美，這張完美的專輯為何未造成很大的反響，實(shí)在讓人不解。聽(tīng)聽(tīng)吧，以Devotion的話說(shuō)，他們的音樂(lè)是Soul Music——觸及靈魂的歌曲，來(lái)自Devotion的演唱。
