Liquid State, an Asian electronic music label jointly established by Tencent Music and Sony Music, joined Jolin Tsai, Grammy-nominated music producer Steve Aoki and American singer-songwriter MAX to jointly release the Chinese and English version of "Equal In The Darkness", which was officially released on October 21.
American singer MAX was called "one of the most popular pop stars" by the American music billboard Billboard, and this time, at the invitation and encouragement of Jolin Tsai, he worked hard to practice Chinese, and successfully interpreted the Chinese version of the male vocal part of the song through repeated and concentrated practice in a short period of time. MAX said: "I am very honored and happy to be able to contact and learn Chinese for this song for the first time, and to be able to collaborate with two top artists, Jolin Tsai and Steve Aoki. Steve Aoki and I have known each other for a long time, and his professionalism and production ability are admirable; Jolin Tsai's talent makes me admire her, her voice is moving, and her professional attitude towards her work is the driving force for me to study hard to Chinese, this collaboration is definitely an unforgettable experience for me. ”
The English version of the fast-paced dance music also brings different electronic music experiences, and three musicians from different backgrounds come together with music as a link, returning to the theme of the song "We are all the same in the dark, there is no difference", bringing a different audiovisual experience to listeners around the world.
Jolin Tsai said: "It was a very happy collaboration, like the song, I and Steve Aoki and MAX have different lives and cultures, but we worked together on this song. The melody of the song caught my ears at the beginning, so we interpreted the Chinese and English versions so that Chinese could be heard in the European and American music circles. MAX's Chinese learning abilities are fantastic! It's also an honor to work with Steve Aoki. ”
Steve Aoki, who has been one of the world's top 100 DJs for many consecutive years, said: "The lyrical expression of this song is really wonderful, the message behind the song is ordinary and real, touching people's hearts, and I am very happy to be able to participate in the creation of this song." The song represents the idea that no matter where you come from, no matter who you are, we are just beings in the dark, equal. I'm excited to bring all my passion and effort to this project with Jolin Tsai and MAX, where we can work together across time zones and geographies, and I think we can create something special for you. ”
