Today, Li Qiu, listen to an album related to Li Qiu. In the mainland, when it comes to songs related to "Li Qiu", the first thing that comes to mind is the song "Li Qiu" written by Gao Xiaosong, and the singer is a member of the "27-year-old club".
It is precisely because of the seasonal adaptation function of the songs "Li Qiu", "Spring Equinox" and "Winter Solstice" that we will have the opportunity to hear the songs of Reiko at least once or three times a year, if it is not these songs, it is difficult to believe that most fans can still listen to her "Youth" after she left for many years, and will listen to her "Let's Do It Together"...
Her original name was Wu Yajun, and her story, about her emotional entanglement with Gao Xiaosong and Wang Feng, was almost the eternal theme when searching for her information on the Internet, and it was those stories back and forth.
And I'm more interested in Reiko's only solo album, everything related to music. Look at the names behind the scenes of this album: Park Shu, Shen Qing, Wang Feng, Gao Xiaosong, Bruce Lee (the rapper's Bruce Lee), Xiao Ke, and the second lead singer of the "Black Panther" band, In addition to Gao Xiaosong, who can't sing, the rest is basically the turn of the century, Chinese mainland the most characteristic group of excellent singer-songwriters in pop music.
There may be fewer options such as Zheng Jun and Xu Wei, but in fact, if there is no unexpected death of Junzi, originally in her second solo album, she would also sing the songs written by Xu Wei to her.
As a young bass girl who loves rock and roll, Reiko does have that kind of savage growth vitality, and by today's vocal standards, Reiko is very much like a "rough house", with a good sound base, but the sound may not be scientific. But it is also this kind of wanton singing that makes the album "Spring Equinox, Liqiu, Winter Solstice" full of more surging tension, this kind of wandering on the verge of emotional loss of control, but it is rarely heard in this era.
Initially, Reiko was suspicious of Gao Xiaosong as a producer, after all, Gao Xiaosong was a folk song creator. However, the addition of another producer, Xiao Ke, coupled with the addition of rock star groups such as Li Yanliang, Li Qiang, Wang Xiaodong and Wang Lan, still makes this album, which is actually a folk song, become rock and tough.
Because there is Wang Xiaodong, as a bassist, Junko actually does not play bass in this album.
The album's earliest single was "Let's Do It Together". This song, which was still the top ten gold songs of the year in the 1997 China Song Chart, was also a work of Xiao Ke's songwriting and arrangement.
Later, because of the contradiction caused by the problem of shooting the MV, Reiko also signed the "Kyobun Records" after paying the "transfer fee", so there was this album that was later co-produced by Gao Xiaosong, Xiao Ke and Ah Xi.
The most mysterious thing about this album is this producer named Ash. According to an interview with Aiko before she died, she once said that Ashi was a very important musical friend to her, "Ashi gave me a lot of old CDs to cultivate my musical qualities."
But I asked around, still not knowing who this Ash was? Although there is a producer named Ah Xi in Taiwan who has produced a second album "The Third Eye" for Zheng Jun, it is unlikely that he will be the Ah Xi named Liu Shaoxi who can become a close friend of Reiko Music.
The album has three songs" because of "Spring Equinox", "Li Qiu" and "Winter Solstice", and was later called the "Four Seasons" album, of course, this "Four Seasons" is less than a "summer solstice". But then again, in China's traditional literati tradition, summer is always an overlooked season. I don't know if it is because the temperament of summer will destroy the right shape, or the summer solstice and the winter solstice appear at the same time, so that the text becomes a little overlapping, so in the end Gao Xiaosong still did not write a song called "Summer Solstice" for the album.
"Spring Equinox" is composed by Gao Xiaoxiao and composed by Park Shu, and the arrangement style is reminiscent of Jiang Xin's "Pandora", and Pandora's original work is Xu Wei's "That Year". "Angel in White" is a song composed by Luan Shu, zhan hua zhan always filled in the words, impression, this is the only word I have seen Zhan Hua wrote.
In addition to "Let's Do It Together", this album also had a song with good results on the charts, that is, "Youth" written by Wang Feng. Lyrics such as "I plan to leave at dusk and take a car to go far away" are very contemporary and idealistic. After the death of Junko, Wang Feng also sang this song "Youth" in his solo debut solo album "Hanabi", and also created a song for Junko " Orphans of a Beautiful World".
When Gao Xiaosong + Wang Feng, in addition to this album of Junzi, later they also had a musical intersection in Tan Weiwei's "Tan So-and-So" album. I remember them only twice.
The "Half of Love" and "LOVE Variations" in this album are written as "Composition: Thailand", and I don't know if I have re-arranged the Thai songs, which is also a doubt.
Later, after joining "Evergrande Music", Gao Xiaosong also let Zhou Ziyan, an artist at the time, cover his own "Li Qiu" and include it as a Credit Track on the album "Passing Through Youth".
"There must always be some with the wind, some into dreams, some in the heart, so some crazy, some confused, some singing"...
