Late at night a few days ago, Ai Yiliang turned the community avatar into all white without warning, like a white cloth covered, or a blank canvas, which makes people full of infinite imagination, she wrote in the po text:
Those memories that you want to forget, always choose to cover.
Inadvertently opened, I am a person, but I remember.
"Repent before you have the courage to love again."
#艾怡良2021全新创作专辑
Today, a film of Ai Yiliang's improvisation, a painting depicting various desires in the human heart, began to render from the community, bringing an artistic opening and conceptual formaeus for his fifth album "I Remember" that will be released at the end of this month. "Singing the Queen of Heaven" Ai Yiliang, depicting and dissecting the emotions of sentient beings, the lyrics are as profound and moving as works of art, the beginning and end of the song is combined with the unique atmosphere of her singing, the low chant and shallow hum that is good at it are directly touching people's hearts, "Her self-drowning, our healing" is such a unique atmosphere, leading us into an art gallery, stopping here to look at, project, and paint the color of our emotions.
In the film, Yi Liang uses his good acrylic painting, improvised with the concept of "greed and figure", bold colors and lines, the abstract desire jumps onto the canvas, there is red heat and black calmness in the color, the conflict of contrast shows the dialogue between the heart and himself, the two people who are embracing, after the picture is flipped, they bring out the hidden "greed" word, showing people's unlimited pursuit of desire; however, seemingly endless demand is actually not a bad thing, such as the emotional greed of the other party can have a reciprocal response to themselves. Painting is a kind of artistic treatment for Yiliang, this painting called "Exhortation", she conceived a day, painted for nearly 3 hours, and the production period of the new album took 3 years, this time she will share the sensibility of these 3 years with everyone through songs and canvases, Yiliang said that in the process of creation, in addition to melody, lyrics, there are many movie-like pictures that will appear in her mind, so this time there is a painting display, together with everyone a more complete Ai Yiliang.
The first wave of the new album concept title single "Greed" premiered in Asia at 2 p.m. on the 14th, and the digital single and MV were launched at 9 p.m. The lyrics of "Greed" were completed by Ai Yiliang alone, and the lyrics of the lyrics are "empty-handed, and it is not necessarily too restrained to love." Sometimes you think that it's all love, but it's just greed. Her writing is always good at describing the subjective will from the perspective of a seemingly bystander, and the weakness that actually seems to be unwilling to accept defeat is the unavoidable greed in many people's feelings. Sometimes loving a person is not so generous that you can easily share this love with other people. Extending to life, for the kind of extreme desire to get, in fact, often only a small part, very little, even if you use all your strength, or even do not measure up. Producer Chen Jianqi in the song in addition to the use of piano, guitar, synthesizer and cello and other materials to compile a composition that fits Ai Yiliang's will, but also added a lot of rapid breathing sounds and environmental noises to the work, these sounds make the whole song's greedy theme more prominent, with "greed" as the concept narrative of this album, is Ai Yiliang's way of expressing remorse to himself and the world, "Before you have the courage to love again, first repent." Even if we want to regain the courage to do what we have done before, the premise is that we should repent.
After nearly three years of disobedience, Ai Yiliang will launch a new album work "I Remember" at the end of this month. Recall from 2018's "Living Vertically, Lingering Horizontally." "Forever Young" also made Ai Yiliang the first best composer. 2019 and 2020 are in different forms to step into the film industry, in 2019, first sang the theme song of the "Poetry of the Wild Sparrow" directed by Shi Li ,Love is lonelier than death," which is stunning, and in 2020, he released the theme song "I Am the One" in the film "The Love I Didn't Talk About" by himself as the heroine and composed by himself, and was once again shortlisted for the Golden Melody Award for Best Composer, Ai Yiliang, who first stepped into the film field, and the contrasting and natural performance in the film was also shortlisted for the Best New Actor Award at the Taipei Film Festival. The acting and song were also recognized by the Golden Horse Awards, and were also nominated for the Best New Actor and the Best Original Film Song Award.
Then, Ai Yiliang returned to the singer-songwriter from the heroine of the film, and finally handed over a new creative album "Partial but I Remember" in 2021, including eleven songs including "I Am this person", and each part of her life was carefully interpreted by her, and then became a song published in the form of music. This time the album is still jointly created with the familiar producer Chen Jianqi, the album title "Partial I Remember" is actually not any song title, nor is it an excerpt of the lyrics, but the name of the album as a "summary" of this idea, from this confessional point of view, with the song one by one confession.
