米歇爾•奧巴馬將發行說唱專輯

美國“第一夫人”米歇爾要出專輯啦。據瞭解，米歇爾•奧巴馬要推出的這張唱片名爲《健康美國歌》，目的是爲了推廣她發起的“讓我們動起來”活動，該活動旨在抵抗青少年肥胖症和倡導健康的生活方式。專輯中收錄了《飲食造就你》、《素食者的愛》以及《我們愛蔬菜》等十九首歌曲。不過，令人遺憾的是，專輯中的歌曲並不是米歇爾•奧巴馬演唱的，她只是出演了唱片中十首歌曲的MV。“讓我們動起來”活動推出時採用了碧昂斯的一首原創歌曲和視頻，但這張專輯中卻沒有什麼大牌歌手助陣。除了有hip-hop傳奇DMC外，大部分都是像Doug E. Fresh, Travis Barker這樣已經過氣或人氣欠佳的歌手。這張專輯隨後會在紐約和其他城市的學校中散發。

Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and Miley Cyrus aren't the only stars readying albums for the new season; First Lady Michelle Obama is as well.

It was announced that Ms Obama's Let's Move! campaign will release an album titled Songs for a Healthier America next month. The 19-song compilation touts the virtues of healthy living and features song titles like U R What You Eat, Veggie Luv and the slightly less emphatic We Like Vegetables.

Before anyone gets too excited, the album will not feature any singing or rapping from the First Lady. Instead, Ms Obama will make cameos in ten videos distributed to schools in New York and other US cities in conjunction with the record.

More disappointing than the album's lack of the First Lady's vocal stylings is the track listing, which leaves something to be desired. Sure there's hip-hop legend DMC, but the roster of talent is mainly filled with has-beens and never-weres like Doug E. Fresh, Travis Barker, and Monifah.

While it's unlikely that there's a line of A-List talent waiting to sing and write songs about the importance of healthy living, the album's lack of star power is a surprise. Let's Move! was launched with an original song and video from Beyonce after all.
