Naturally 7 is an American music group with a distinct a cappella style they call "Vocal Play" which according to group leader Roger Thomas is "the art of becoming an instrument using the human voice to create the sound". They simulate the sounds of an instrumental band using only their voices, mouths and distortion effects. The group was formed in 1999 in New York City. In 2014, Naturally7 landed a National commercial with "Honey Nut Cheerios". Naturally7 toured three world tours with the one and only Micheal Buble as his opening act. These tours have topped the box offices and landed on the Bill Board charts. In 2006 the group was blessed to chart again in several countries with a cover of Phil Collins “Feel It” ( In the Air Tonight). They have gone on to record with Quincy Jones, Ludacris, Michael Buble and many others.
在著名的视频网站Youtube上,Naturally 7在巴黎地铁上的演唱视频的点击率已经超过260万。Naturally 7于2009年1月5日发行了第五张专辑《Wall Of Sound》,这支来自纽约的组合自1999年成立迄今已经有十个年头的时间。起先,组合成员Roger Thomas 只是想要在当地众多的演唱团体中脱颖而出,无意识中联想到童年,那时自己的兄弟Warren想要一套鼓,可是妈妈却以“吵闹”为由拒绝了他的请求。于是Warren开始模仿各色声音,比如鼓、钹等等,以此弥补没有真正的鼓的表演。正是这一经历,让Roger茅塞顿开,组成一个无伴奏演唱团队的念头由此产生了。
现在Naturally 7带着它们的最近专辑Hidden In Plain Sight和大家见面。“大多数无伴奏合唱团只专注于清唱部分,”Thomas说。“这很好, 但我们尽力确保它们都是好歌。永远流行的歌。”
