At the end of last year, a music platform released the annual top ten golden songs, so that many netizens could not help but sigh: the Chinese music scene is dead.
Many video platforms have also surged a wave of nostalgic golden songs, and many classic pop songs around the millennium have become the "memory killing" that everyone talks about.
Fortunately, before the New Year's Eve, there was an album, the current Douban rating number is close to 5,000 people, the score is still maintained at a high score of 8.6 points, such a reputation can undoubtedly be called a god in today's popular music.
This album is Huang Mama Huang Qishan's "Xiaoxia 2.0".
Huang Ma: Cut the love to pieces and blow it to the sea with the wind
As naïve as I am, I open my hands and think I can hold up the future,
And who vouches that love will never be stained with dust.
- "Cut Love"
In fact, as early as the golden age of the Chinese music scene, Huang Qishan has begun to be active in the pop music circle.
In 1991, he entered the entertainment industry and recorded the theme song of the "First Women's World Cup" with the popular actresses Zhen Ni and Ye Yingling at that time.
It was also in this year that she fell in love with the well-known music producer Tu Huiyuan and married.
The two met because of music, but in the end, because of their different musical concepts, they finally chose to separate.
When it comes to Tu Huiyuan, many people may not be familiar with it, but when it comes to Zhang Huimei's two songs of "Cutting Love" and "Listening to the Sea", I believe most people will not be unfamiliar, and these two melodies that accompany the growth of many people are from Tu Huiyuan's hand.
The song "Cut Love" was born two months after the two divorced, on the stage of "I Am a Singer", when Huang Mama sang this song, in the first main song, it has begun to choke, and in the last paragraph, whether it is the voice emotion or the complex change in the expression on Huang Ma's face, it has become a highlight moment for fans to constantly relive the show.
Before "I Am a Singer", Huang Mama had been the "first female voice in Asia" by professionals, but it was not until after a stunning song on this show that the 45-year-old Huang Qishan became a popular female singer known to the public.
Xiaoxia: What is love?
Before "Xiaoxia 2.0", Huang Mama had also cooperated with producer Qin Sifeng on the album "Xiaoxia".
Although none of the songs on the album have become highly popular hits, it is also an album worth listening to repeatedly in the hearts of many fans.
Different from Zhang Huimei's avatar Amit's wild image, in Huang Ma's twin Xiaoxia this time, she showed her introverted and soft side.
Of course, there are still high notes in the album that make ordinary people die in KTV, but it retains a soft and delicate side, coupled with Huang Ma's superb singing skills, it seems very smooth.
On this album, one of the songs I listen to the most is "What Is Love?"
The lyrics ask over and over again what love is, and then ask and answer themselves over and over again, which seems to be the voice of Huang Mama after experiencing 3 failed marriages.
The choice of love, anyway, is not me, how can I not be lost.
My friend will not comfort me, I can only experience the ups and downs.
Even if it is a setback, only by experiencing it can we truly realize it.
Xiaoxia 2.0: Actually, I am a fool
"Xiaoxia" was released on Christmas Day 25, 2015, and on December 15, 2021, "Xiaoxia 2.0" was quietly launched on major music platforms.
As the first official song of the opening chapter, "Boring", it tells about a state of idleness when a person is alone, which takes the listener into the inner world of Xiaoxia, but at the same time, it may also be the inner world of each listener.
Loneliness is also a sweet tone, at least it doesn't fascinate people too much.
Maybe I need a proof too much, I really can without you.
In the whole album, the biggest memory point is "Stupid".
Using a song title that is not a "civilized language" and using it as a definition of oneself can easily hit the self-deprecating, self-pitying, and self-denial side of everyone's heart.
But the landing point of the whole song falls on a "willing" mood.
I fell in a pool of blood with a smile, but I was worried that others would hurt me more than I did.
Obviously scarred, constantly blaming herself for being a "fool" in her heart, but still willingly loyal to her inner feelings, this may be the most sincere belief in love in every woman's heart.
In "Dream", I began to become a realist, began to become very practical, began to think for myself, no longer bothered by emotions, but this is just an illusory dream, how can I become practical, only for myself?
Time will let all pass, and what you have to learn is to let yourself go.
From Huang Qishan to Asia's first female voice, to Huang Ma in "I Am a Singer", and then incarnated into Xiaoxia.
Huang Mama changed from a strong girl to a gentle mother, and then a soft woman.
What makes people marvel at "Xiaoxia 2.0" is no longer those super high notes, nor is it superb singing, but the emotions that strike directly at people's hearts.
In the feminist movement, we overturn the definition of women again and again, but eventually, these arguments also go back to women themselves.
No matter what kind of label is labeled by the world, what we need to insist on is always to be the way we are.
