A few days ago, she was interviewed by reporters and talked about the changes and changes in the past 8 years.
"If you listen to this song, in terms of rhythm, it's very different from what I used to be, it's a heavy rhythm. A song that is not very happy at the beginning, more serious or has a more serious attitude in it. In fact, I want to express a more sincere and more authentic and different side. Cai Chunjia admitted that the new album is to present "a richer and different self".
"8 years is a long time. So in fact, I have done a lot of different things in the middle and had different experiences. "She told reporters that because of the relationship between the record companies at that time, she had been covering songs for many years." Now I don't want to just cover songs. There will be an attempt to change, but this change does not mean that change is for the sake of change. Because after 8 years, there have been many changes. It is to present that kind of thought in the heart. ”
Not only has the style of the song changed, but the image that Cai Chunjia wants to present to everyone has also changed. "Before, everyone would think I was a girl next door, but they forgot that my age is getting older every year, but I'm not anymore. So what you want to express in the song is actually different from yourself. I can also be cold, I can be warm, I can be tough, I can be easy-going. In fact, it is a different level of performance for each person. This is what I want to show in this song. ”
She said bluntly: "If I'm not as gentle as I used to be, it doesn't mean it's not me." It's only been 8 years, but your impression is still stuck 8 years ago. So in fact, this song is talking about a yearning for change in my heart, and I think it is also an inspiration. ”

Speaking of herself 8 years ago, Cai Chunjia used the word "wandering". "I was actually quite wandering 8 years ago. Several songs had been covered at the time. I think as a singer, I don't know much about where my identity is, and I don't know the point of continuing to do it. Compared to now, I think this is the biggest difference. ”
She told reporters that in the past 8 years, she has changed a lot. "I'm married and I'm starting a business in Singapore. Because of the stable married life, coupled with the impact and learning of business, in fact, I really grew a lot. ”
In 2015, Chua starred in a film in Singapore, which was also her first film. "In it, I played a very ordinary inspector who copied license plates." She said that what she felt most deeply in this role was that "it is still important to be yourself."
Gradually, she became clearer in her eyes about what she wanted and what she wanted to do.
"For me, the role of a singer is very difficult, but it is charming. It's that you feel like you're going to have another role to stretch and present to everyone in three years. She believes that the singer is to "be himself" and that it is "a very interesting process.".

I'm still me of course, and in many ways I'm still different. ”
"It should be very different in terms of expression and personality. In terms of music, in fact, if you listen carefully, everyone has their own style and attitude in it. Of course, I think it's an honor to be able to compare with her. But in fact, we are still very different. She said. (End)
