中文介绍：
★傳說中的歌姬－來自沖繩，由網路堀起的二十一世紀傳奇
☆超現實甜美Folktronica－結合Bjork的靈精多變與Múm的冰晶卓絕
卡洛琳原名Caroline Lufkin，她和姐姐Olivia都是甜美嬌小的沖繩＋美國混血女孩，父親曾是美國海軍，姐妹從小在美國和沖繩之間遷徙，轉學只是家常便飯。特殊的成長環境帶給兩姐妹寬廣的見識和豐富的生活經驗。姐姐Olivia在唸高中的時候就已經被小室哲哉發堀，往日本藝能界發展。至於妹妹Caroline剛從Berklee音樂學院畢業，拿著demo在日本和美國尋找適合的唱片公司，天賦異秉的她把作品放在myspace供人下載試聽，驚豔了全世界的網友，口耳相傳下人氣飆高，夢幻的Folktronica曲風，也令許多樂迷吃驚地，吸引了後搖滾名廠Temporary Residence。
Caroline深厚的學院基礎表現在細膩的唱腔上。甜度極高的娃娃聲，經過純熟洗斂的歌唱技巧調和，平添動人神韻；聽得再久也不會厭倦。偶爾炫技似地飆高音域，也帶著東方式的陰柔。簡約的Folktronica聲響既遙遠又神秘，道出隱晦難明的內心獨語，將Caroline的絕美嗓音襯拖出令人屏息的超現實感，彷彿勾人魂魄的妖幻魔物，又似遙不可及的超然仙靈；一切都是魔幻奇美。
跟隨悠悠遙遙的電風琴和晶瑩的風鈴聲，讓柔緩的節拍凝結了時間感，即使是作夢，也是令人心曠神怡的那一種。沒有多餘的情緒，也沒有綿綿不絕的長篇大論，卡洛琳的MURMURS就像稍不留神就從眼前消失的妖精，喃喃地對你訴說一個又一個簡短的秘密，值得您用心體會。

英文介绍：
Caroline Lufkin is a US based singer-songwriter, who debuted in the US with the single “Where's My Love”, under Temporary Residence. She was originally signed under this label because she sent a link to her song, Where's My Love, that she had uploaded at her MySpace account. Her songs sound very minimalistic, and her voice has a lot of purity and clarity to it.
Caroline moved around a lot when she was younger since her father was formerly a Marine, though she is originally from Okinawa. She lived in North Carolina and California when she was younger. Originally, Caroline became interested in music by listening to classical music played by her parents every morning. Her parents surrounded her with all kinds of art, which also influenced this idea. She also was influenced by sing-along books and the children's movie/toy line Rose Petal Place. She moved to Boston to study at the Berklee School of Music in 1999, and later graduated in 2003. After graduating, Caroline moved back to Tokyo and made a living by recording demo vocal tracks for many artists, as well as vocals for commercials. She was even offered a major label contact herself. After working on an album for months, Caroline was unhappy with the aspects that the record company wanted to change (for example, to make the songs extremely pop/dance sounding) and decided to quit altogether. She later decided to sign with US indie label Temporary Residence.
In the future, Caroline wishes to grow musically and someday wants to operate a Lounge (an artistic centre filled with aesthetic music, artwork, food and architecture), which she sees as the perfect world. Caroline also loves to spend hours and hours staring at artwork or architecture. Caroline's first song, Where's My Love, was available to listen at her MySpace account in late 2004. During this time, she sent the song to the US indies record company Temporary Residence, and they accepted her as a new artist. Where's My Love was officially released as a single on 2005.10.25, however in fact was being distributed in the previous month. Currently (as of 2005), Where's My Love is the highest selling EP at Temporary Residence. Caroline released her debut album, Murmurs, on March 6, 2006, and soon after held her first live at the SXSW music festival in Austin, Texas.

灵动慧黠的魔幻女声，脱俗不凡的新颖宇宙
文：MARK
《Murmurs》专辑内页的图片，Caroline身穿白衣，像熟睡的公主般躺在草坪上，周边还放了几束花，这画面似乎很容易解读，无非就是希望塑造一种象天使般一样纯洁的歌手定位与形象。但是，那几只驻守在旁的乌鸦，牠们的出现使原来充满童话梦境的画面变得诡异，或者说是对圣洁灵魂的死亡进行哀悼。。。
Caroline的音乐是很容易让人接受和喜爱的，因为她了解自己的特质，像“Where’s My Love”， “Bicycle” 和“Sunrise”这类作品她充分表现了自己嗓音的独特性，略带稚气但却生涩动人，在极简主义和电子碎拍的凑合下，向旋律和美声爱好者发出邀请。但这仅仅只是一个开端，像前面所说的童话梦境，瞬间即逝。
Caroline在独立音乐圈闯荡前曾签约主流公司，像姐姐Olivia一样，她本应可以在日本艺能界一尝当明星的滋味，但终于因为无法忍受自己作品被删改而终止合作关系。毕业于Berklee音乐学院的她最终选择了专门出版后摇作品的厂牌 — Temporary Residence。首支单曲“Where’s My Love”在2005年推出，成为该厂牌最畅销的单曲，而随后出版的《Murmurs》专辑所取得的回响自然是相当积极和乐观的。
也许是之前与主流公司合作的不愉快经验，抑或是个性使然，《Murmurs》专辑内隐约埋伏着许多不安分的动机和结构，仿佛就在张扬其回归独立性的坚定姿态。专辑后半部的作品如“Every Little Thing”， “Drove Me To The Wall”和“Winter”皆具备上述的因素，Caroline不再恰如其分而是竭尽所能的拓展其声线，在充满荒诞、虚幻和迷离的声响和音效中，将其歌唱本能推向极致。当然，制作班底和Caroline在Berklee的同学Jason Greenberg也居功不少。
《Murmurs》即便称不上是精彩绝伦之作，但Caroline跃跃欲试的态度确是显而易见的，她不愿安分守己，反之更希望在独立与实验之间游走，快乐和自由的歌唱。
