Honmei released a new album, ten songs corresponding to ten plants, in response to the attitude towards life, frankly has the courage to face the scolding Singing vitality, He Jie in "Kirito" returns to herself

On the thirteenth day after her thirty-sixth birthday, He Jie released a new music album "Kirito". She wrote: "2022, another year of my life... Kirito is a new beginning, and it is also a real sense of 'back to He Jie'. Twelve years have passed since the release of her album "Want to Return to He Jie". In the past twelve years, He Jie has released five or six music albums, entered marriage twice, and become a mother of three children; in these twelve years, "love" has become a significant label on her body. In the music, she also never hides her yearning, persistence, doubts and memories of love, "Domino" in "Kirito" sings: "Don't be too stingy with injured qualifications, love and pain crazy to live, just fall into every love happily." He Jie confessed that she used music as a diary, and this time, she recorded how to return to herself.

conception

I grew like moss, savage on my own

"Kirito" uses plants as a musical concept, and the ten songs on the album correspond to ten kinds of plants and the "vitality" they represent: orange stem, raw stone flower, sunflower, wild grass, golden millet orchid, one-leaf grass, moss, creeper, starry sky, wheat straw chrysanthemum. He Jie had in-depth exchanges with musicians and producers in the early stage, revealing his most authentic attitude and ideas at the moment. The concept of "plants" as a musical concept was proposed by the album plan, and He Jie felt that it was very appropriate to listen to it. "I'm not a good gardener myself, and even plants like cactus balls and succulents are often spoiled in my life. But I love plants, especially those that don't produce beautiful flowers, like weeds, creepers, mosses. They are very common, and they are not very noticed by everyone, and they grow silently in the corners. ”

Among the ten kinds of plants, He Jie likes moss the most. "It's small, has its own character, doesn't care if it's pretty or not. I was like a moss, growing savagely on my own in places where the sun didn't easily shine. However, as the most prestigious "super female" player, He Jie has had many fans since her debut in 2005, and the public attention is not low. Compared with the assertive attitude of her first album "Luminous Body", it is more and more curious why she now prides herself on "moss"? Hearing this question, she laughed heartily: "Hahaha, maybe everyone thinks I'm a more extroverted person." I sometimes analyze myself, when I am with friends, when I face the public, I am more extroverted, but in fact, sometimes I want to find a place to hide. ”

He Jie recalled that when she was a child, she had a desperate momentum and felt that everything was under control and could conquer the whole world. "I hope to transmit all the light on my body, which is the state of "Luminous Body" at that time." When I was a kid, I always looked forward to the stage and thought, wow! What a great stage! After becoming an artist, I found that the world was not as simple as I thought, and many things deviated from my view of singing since I was a child. "From 2012 to 2017, she had a lot of questions, but she couldn't find the answers, and she didn't even want to sing on stage and dance to perform, just wanted to find a comfortable place to stay alone." In retrospect, it's an escape from reality. ”

Returning to purity, the voice becomes powerful

"Kirito" this album, He Jie "held" for more than three years. At first, I didn't want to make a "continuation" of a previous album, but I found out that it was very similar to the 2.0 version of the first album "Luminous Body". On the day the song "Complete" was released, she suddenly remembered that this day twelve years ago happened to be the day when "Want to Return to He Jie" was released. "I got goosebumps all the time, twelve years, a whole cycle. When I posted "Want to Return to He Jie", I was experiencing the first trough in my life, and for the first time I began to doubt life. At that time, saying 'I want to return to He Jie' was desperately trying to get back to the state of the (Supergirl) competition stage, back to the He Jie that the fans liked, and the He Jie I liked. ”

The wonderful coincidence of the present and the past makes He Jie feel emotional, and she regards "Kirito" as a new beginning, and it is also a real sense of "back to He Jie" - back to the pure love of music in the first place. "I remember when I was a child, I used to sing every day at home after writing my homework, about three or four hours, and the wheat at home was broken by me. When I grew up, I was admitted to the conservatory, and after every day I went to class, I went to practice singing with a group of friends in the same piano room. There was a CD player in the piano room, and each of us waited next to it with a CD. The front just finished singing, and before the music was finished, he immediately quit his CD and put his own CD into it to sing. I wanted to get back to that state, a very pure state of only singing and only music in my head. When she sang the album "Kirito", she felt that the state was back, and her voice became more powerful.

From "Want to Return to He Jie", "Goodbye He Jie", to "Kirito Terrier" that now "really returns to He Jie", fans have found that He Jie's albums are always looking for themselves. "I'm sorry, I don't have anything else to say, I just want to express my emotions, and music is an outlet for me." He Jie said that she would not do anything else, sometimes making a meal for her children at home was not welcome, felt particularly frustrated, and could only find her true self when singing. She thinks it's a very good thing to be able to record every life with music. When you get old, when you turn out these albums, you will remember what happened at that time and what kind of mood a certain song was sung in. "Music is my diary, and I want to record my current state through music. When I encounter something very painful in the future, looking back at this album may be able to comfort me at that time. ”

Not afraid of scolding, the child gave me courage

In music, He Jie never hesitates to express her longing, persistence, disappointment and nostalgia for love. At the launch of the 2012 album "Dare to Love", she accepted her ex-husband's public confession, and the two were licensed to marry the following year. In the album, "Dare to Love" sings: "You use love to support me, do my exclamation point, sad medicine, two people are really good." 」 The lyrics of her music album "Goodbye Ho Jie" (2018), which she released after ending the marriage, the title song "Return with Love" read: "She broke her back, broke the praise, and the time she decided to get up and start again, people withered the bouquet of flowers into tears of sympathy." This year's "Kirito" is like a declaration: "Lose it all, say goodbye to him, start again, arrive in the middle of summer, and bloom into a flower." ”

"When I was about twenty years old, I wished I had become a mother sooner and had two children, which was probably the only thing I had planned in my life." However, He Jie, who now has three children, also admitted that it is not easy to be a mother, raising children will make her own time less, and sometimes she has to give up some job opportunities. But on the other hand, the child also brought positive changes to her. "The kids really changed me completely. I used to look like I was quite gritty, but I was actually very timid. Now I no longer open my teeth and claws, but I feel that there is nothing to be afraid of in my heart, and I will solve it when there is a problem, and it does not matter if others say that it is not important. I just want to make music well and make my kids feel good, it's as simple as that. "The arrival of the child gave her the courage to face everything.

This courage also includes shouting to the "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves 3" program group on Weibo that he wants to participate. "I can only sing and dance. Of course, there is such a stage to strive for, it is a good thing to be able to go on, it does not matter if you can't go on, then bless the sisters who can perform on the stage. "He Jie said that she did not worry that if she did not go to Cheng in the end, she would lose face and be ridiculed by the group." I'm not red, either, so I don't need to turn red again to prove that I'm very good at singing or what. There is everything that can be said on the Internet, and today you have to be said, and if you don't go up, you have to be said. This is my Weibo, I can post whatever I want, and I am not ashamed. This answer is quite like the supernatural style of "singing when you want to sing". [Source: Beijing News Editorial / Beijing News reporter Yang Lianjie]
