Album of the Year Chinese
Wei Ruxuan, "Hiding is not the same as forgetting"
The album dream of the single era. With an album, it vaguely presents the appearance of poetry drama. The singer integrates songs, poems, dramas, reality and psychology with vocals, timbres and singing methods full of a large number of breaths. These songs are like the image of Ophelia in Shakespeare, one of the songs of the same name, remembered in deep hiding, drowning and expanding, extremely introverted and sometimes wild. (Li Wan)
Song of the year Chinese
Yu Kewei "Passing through the human world"
Yu Kewei in "Passing Through the World" sings the perspective of dialogue between himself and himself, the small self and the big world, so that people can better understand a deeply thinking singer in terms of musical content, and resonate with the world. The title of the song seems to be light, with the feeling of a fairy's dewy love affair with the dragonflies in the world, but the truth and exposition laid out in the lyrics really smashed into the hearts of people living in the human world. (Three stones and one sound)
Best male Chinese singer
Zhou Huajian "Teenager"
From a national singer to an old "teenager" who has returned to his original heart, Zhou Huajian's breakthroughs and determination on the road of music over the years are admirable. Zhou Huajian put in "Teenagers" many life experiences, life memories and poetic feelings related to himself. His style is no longer swayed by the market, and his voice is as clear and moving as a teenager. Teenagers are a kind of heart in Zhou Hua's fitness, and they are the courage and confidence to constantly pursue new experiences in music. (Earth)

Best Chinese Female Newcomer
Yu Peizhen "True Truth"
The simple psychedelic atmosphere and direct instrument arrangement highlight the seamless narrative ability between Yu Peizhen's Guotai languages, which is a singing method that abandons the old-fashioned singing standards and is original enough to emphasize its own subjectivity. Yu Peizhen is not the only one, but the most representative one, behind her marks the passing of the era of language division between music creators and audiences on the island, and the generation of more integrated pop music has made its voice heard. （Sean）
Best New Band/Group
"I must have said I loved you hundreds of years ago"
The five people are first of all fashionable, retro fan rock interwoven with a musical picture like a fashion blockbuster; the five people are also chic, with a cold and unwilling tone between their lips and teeth; the five people are still keen, and the murmuring between themselves delicately provokes the ordinary modern people's obsessive nerves that are addicted to insecurity but are inconsistent; the five people are poetic, jumping eagerly in the cold, and the words are filled with a whimsical and unique romance. "I must have said I loved you hundreds of years ago", as the name suggests, makes people want to listen to it as soon as they listen to it, and they want to listen to it again and again. (Lu Shiwei)
Best Rock Artist
Sound fragment "No birdsong, close the window"
"Poetic and restrained, beautiful and profound" is an important label of the sound fragment band, and this trait is continued and more extremely expressed in "No Birdsong, Close the Window". Beautiful melodies, elaborate arrangements, and imaginative lyrics have made their works transcend rock and roll itself in a certain way, and even surpass poetry.

They fade their inner impetuosity, peer into the beauty in music, and let the soul draw true strength from life. (Zhai Yi)
Best Band
Wooden push melon "Peacock"
And the noise, and a little bit of experimentation, still rocking. Moreover, there is also a little content, which is really blood, spirit and flesh. In the current scenario, this almost turns the impossible into a possibility. What was once a heavy sword in the heyday of Chinese rock is now broken, but it still offers a unique rock aesthetic and imagination. The most touching thing is to sing their lives, past, present, imaginary, that kind of miserable, lonely, untamed, neither a loud pop lyric, nor a soft collapse of folk songs. (Li Wan)
The best combination
Shanghai Rainbow Chamber Choir "Sunset Collection"
The Shanghai Rainbow Indoor Choir adds different layers to a single narrow world, they always jump between antonyms, serious and lively, traditional and fashionable, classic and hot, building a strange bridge between classical and fast food, "Sunset Collection" is also a work with this contradiction, the far side of "Sail", the joy and joy of "Coconut Coconut", the emptiness and loneliness of "Sunset Collection", there is no answer, what you hear, is what. (Ziwei)
Best Folk Artist
Zhang Ga's "Ballad of the Yellow River"
If Hoodev's music can make people "see" the sea, then Zhang Ga's chanting can make you "smell" the northwest mountain beams filled with loess. In his loud, vibrant, high-pitched northwestern vocals, you can smell the freshness of wheatgrass, the sweetness of the fruit, and the smell of roast lamb chops. The folk chanting that came from hand has given us long-lost heartache helplessness and simple kindness. Zhang Ga's Lanzhou ramen-style characteristic singing method carries the earthy smell of the northwest cropper, and this "earthy" smell jumps from the tip of the nose and is poured straight from your eardrum into the soles of your feet. (Zhai Yi)

Best Jazz/Blues Artist
Chen Yingda,"Off the Peak"
"Off the Peak" is positioned in road music, with excellent graphic expression, which is also the magic of this album, no need for text explanation, the melody is self-explanatory. Stop-and-go subways, hurried crowds, and neon lights depict the road life of contemporary people. Simultaneous recordings make the scene feel great and the atmosphere is immersive. The outstanding saxophone as a starter, pulling out the main course jazz guitar, not hurried, meticulous, drumming bass side dishes, both rigorous techniques and improvisational play, interwoven into a delicious feast of musical taste buds.

Best Electronic Artist
Howie Lee, "Heaven and Earth Are Not Kind"
The most distinctive feature of "Heaven and Earth" is the addition of Chinese music to the avant-garde electronics, but the free jazz and avant-garde jazz flavors presented from time to time are another unexpected hidden surprise. In addition, there are different regional elements such as Africa, which for Howie Lee is a big step into a wider territory. (Chen Lingwei)
Best World Music Album

Cicada "Into the Foggy Forest"
"Cicada" has always written about nature and the earth with music, piano, guitar and several strings, constructing the sea breeze, high mountains and valleys, or light and free, or cheerful, or mournful and moving, like nature, there are always different styles. (Chen Lingwei)
Best Film and Television Soundtrack Album
Lin Shengxiang "Sunshine Movie Soundtrack"
The ending theme song "Far Away", which is finalized for the whole play, is like the intimate eldest son who "left first/far away" in the play, the form has passed away, but it leaves a place of warm sunshine: the Hakka accent that echoes the thick Double Bass, even if walking between the instrumental notes that are about to leave, can still illuminate the warmth of entanglement and love unique to family and relatives, Lin Shengxiang is always compassionate and warm.

Technical recommendation
Best lyricist
Chen Shanni / Lu Shixuan "Become a Powerful Ordinary Person" (Sung by: Chen Shanni feat. Lu Shixuan)
"Becoming a Powerful Ordinary Person" uses uncomplicated words to describe many romantic, helpless, realistic, and absurd social phenomena, and finally returns to the singer's beautiful vision, writes out the helplessness of reality, and leaves enough positive and open imagery. (Three stones and one sound)
Best Composer
Zhang Jian Junwei "Passing through the Human World" (singer: Yu Kewei)
The composer uses a concise and smooth melody to promote and foil the theme and intention of the song layer by layer. The seemingly simple and catchy melody presents a mood in a gentle way, and each sentence has a residual fragrance. (Ah Qing)
Best Arranger
Chen Shanni "Jade Girl Shuttle" (singer: Chen Shanni)
Compared with the jaw-dropping but heart-warming lyrics, the arrangement of "Jade Girl Shuttle" is just right, which is still unfinished. The electronic rhythm of Royal Sister Fan is Chen Shanni's signature feature, and the mechanical rhythm pulls the plucked strings of the pipa that makes people feel human, with a lonely and cold fluorescent texture. Chen Shanni's self-love, narcissism and self-indulgence... With electronics as the body and folk music as the soul, it seems careless, but it gathers all kinds of colorful and interesting souls. (Zhai Yi)
Best Producer
Chen Jianqi "Hiding is not the same as forgetting" (singer: Wei Ruxuan)
In addition to the diverse musical styles of this album, each song can build an atmosphere without being stuck in a deliberate scene or a single story, and the touching point is this - the treatment is very natural, the dessert characteristics in the singer's timbre are expressed in a very suitable introverted way, even if the emotional place does not feel deliberately powerful, which is the most valuable. (Li Zhe)
Best Recording
HAYA Orchestra "Link" (Recording: Eric Lattanzio/QuanSheng; Mix: Eric Lattanzio; Mastering: Ludovic D'Aniello)
Through rigorous and refined instrument vocal arrangement and recording production, they organically combine various elements of The West and the nation, and pursue the texture and artistic conception of music to reach new heights. (Ah Qing)
