标题：Devotion
Devotion乐队
基本信息  Devotion成立于1997年，是由五个来自美国加州橘子郡的小伙子在1997年组建的乐队，乐队在2000年2月推出了第一张专辑《Image Of Devotion》，歌曲My prayer就是出自这张专辑。而其中的单曲When I与Talking 2 U在美国的亚裔市场取得了轰动的效应，使得Devotion乐队成功晋身为美国三大亚裔乐队之一（另外两支为Kai与One Voice）。
Devotion的5位成员（均为菲律宾裔） 
John-Paul Riturban 
Richmond Andal 
Eric Cruz 
Rodney Hidalgo 
Ian Pesigan
“Image of Devotion”之旅When I单曲的销售量在北卡地区登顶。之后，他们进行了一次“Image of Devotion”之旅，在圣地亚哥、洛杉矶、旧金山、西雅图、多伦多、芝加哥、纽约、休斯敦和拉斯维加斯等地巡回演出。之后，在2002年Devotion与菲律宾唱片公司Viva签约，在2003年7月，他们推出了另一张专辑《Devotion》，这张专辑共收录14首歌，其中有12首由他们自己创作。其中，单曲“So Wonderful”在电台播出后反响非常强烈，被收录进菲律宾电影《Walang Kapalit》做电影音乐。期间，他们在MTV Asia上亮过相，2004年，Devotion重新回到美国加入jE唱片公司开始新的歌曲创作。
我想告诉大家的是，Image Of Devotion中不只是只有My Prayer一首好歌，Devotion5位成员都相当有实力，歌曲无论从配乐到和声的处理，从歌词到旋律都十分精致，完美，这张完美的专辑为何未造成很大的反响，实在让人不解。听听吧，以Devotion的话说，他们的音乐是Soul Music——触及灵魂的歌曲，来自Devotion的演唱。

《Devotion》Hurts演唱歌曲
基本信息歌曲：Devotion  Hurts歌手：英国电子流行乐组合hurts
专辑：《Happiness》　
发行时间：2010.09.06
语言：英语
歌曲介绍略带深沉的〈Devotion〉，除了包裹Hurts拿手的晦暗频率外，特别邀请性感女神Kylie Minogue助唱，收起娇甜的演绎方式，散发个性冷调声韵，不禁联想到Kylie於1995年和怪杰Nick Cave合作精采实验极品〈Where The Wild Roses Grow〉。
歌曲歌词Inside the heart of every man there is a lust you understand
And I'm just the same
When all the love has gone away and passion stares me in the face
Could I walk away
Here's hoping you'll help me to be brave
Devotion save me now
I don't wanna stray from the hallow ground
I'll turn temptation down
I'm asking you to take me to safety this time
Forgive my thoughts when I'm asleep
Forgive these words I'm yet to speak
I feel so ashamed
Right now you seem so far away
So much confusion clouds my mind
And I don't know which path to take
Here's hoping you'll help me to resist
Devotion save me now
I don't wanna stray from the hallow ground
I'll turn temptation down
I'm asking you to take me to safety this time
Devotion, devotion
I'm a slave unto the mercy of your love
For so long, I've been so wrong
I could never live without you
Devotion, devotion
Take me to safety
歌手介绍他们被选入「2010年最受注目的新声音(Sound of 2010)」名单第四名、Guardian钦点「年度最佳乐队」，英国传媒更称之为「忧郁流行乐 (Gloom Pop)」。
