''Cedar + Gold'' is the third studio album by American singer-songwriter Tristan Prettyman. It was released on October 2, 2012 by Capitol Records and peaked at number 47 on the ''Billboard'' 200 albums chart. Much of the album's lyrical content was influenced by Prettyman's on-again, off-again relationship with fellow singer-songwriter Jason Mraz. ==Background and composition== Prettyman began a four-year hiatus from music after extensively touring in support of her 2008 album ''Hello...x''. She traveled to Bali, Australia, New York, and Costa Rica, after which she was diagnosed with vocal cord polyps.〔 〕 She returned to songwriting following surgery.〔 〕 While ''Hello'' was partly inspired by her breakup with Jason Mraz, ''Cedar + Gold'' was recorded after the couple reunited, got engaged, and then split again.〔 〕 Mraz had told ''The Daily Beast'' about the breakup, and Prettyman reacted by writing songs to tell her side of the story. "Some of these songs were written in 'fuck you' moments. I felt trapped," Prettyman said.〔〔 〕 In the song "Glass Jar", a reference to the jar that once held her engagement ring, she recalls the moment Mraz proposed to her.〔 〕 "I Was Gonna Marry You" is a kiss-off to Mraz in which Prettyman explains feeling shocked at the breakup.〔〔 She examines the relationship as a whole in the nearly-six-minute album closer "Never Say Never", which incorporates spoken word and concludes with pedal steel guitar.〔 〕 First single "My Oh My" was released in June 2012 in advance of the album.〔 〕 The music video for the album's second single "I Was Gonna Marry You" was released in October.〔 〕 On January 18, 2013, Nylon premiered the lyric video for "Rebound".〔http://www.nylonmag.com/?section=article&parid=8988〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Cedar + Gold」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
