In 1988, the 22-year-old Hang Tianqi became popular with a song "Loess High Slope" on CCTV's "Green Song Competition", and since then, a strong "northwest wind" has blown in the Chinese pop music scene. But. Hang Tianqi's influence in the music world is not only because of the "northwest wind" - from "Qianmen Love Big Bowl of Tea" to "Singing Face" and "Black Hair Fluttering Up", many different styles of songs have been interpreted by her and are deeply loved by the audience. At the peak of her career development, Hang Tianqi once chose her family and faded out of the singing world, and later founded the "Tianqi Fund" to promote organ donation. But on the 30th anniversary of her debut this year, she officially returned with a song "I Still Love You".

Talk about new songs: Singing about human nature will be far better than before

This time back, Hang Tianqi brought a new work "I Still Love You". "In fact, my return is particularly pure," Hang Tianqi told the Beijing News reporter, "mainly because I think that after experiencing many things, singing on the stage is still the happiest thing I feel, and the fans and friends who have followed me for so many years have never changed." ”

According to Hang Tianqi, the songwriter of "I Still Love You" created this work as early as 2006, but only now has he found the most suitable interpretation object. Referring to the meaning behind the song, Hang Tianqi explained that it has both love for family affection, love for lovers, love for the stage, love for fans, "What is changing is my love for music. ”

After years of precipitation, Hang Tianqi said bluntly, compared to when he was young, he was more able to express his inner emotions, "From the singing point of view, many people say that my style has changed, but in fact, for songs, our second creation is based on the lyrics, I can't say that I sang "Loess High Slope", this song also goes to that taste, right? And without so many years of experience, you probably wouldn't be able to sing that emotion. Hang Tianqi said bluntly, in terms of her current state, she has the confidence to perform more types of songs, "All these aspects of human nature, I think they should sing better than when I was younger." ”

Being a newcomer: Young people in the music industry now pay attention to personality

30 years after her debut, Hang Tianqi bluntly said that the music scene has undergone many changes, in addition to the recording equipment becoming more and more intelligent, the singers are not as close as when she debuted. "At that time, everyone used a makeup room, a table to eat, and now even if you appear on a show, you may not be able to see it." Hang Tianqi has many friends in the music world, Cui Jian is also one of them, Hang Tianqi recalled, once Cui Jian once went to her home to see her electronic keyboard made by her electronic expert father, "My electronic keyboard has a foot pedal to control the volume tone, Cui Jian said, there is a foreign hair device directly connected to the guitar, which can make the guitar change color." My dad remodeled it and made Cui Jian his first hairscreen. ”

Hang Tianqi has always been quite receptive to new things, and the same is true in music. She not only appreciates the stage performances of Tan Weiwei and other new generation singers, under the influence of her daughter, she will also listen to hip-hop and electronic music, "I think that today's musicians pay more attention to personality, and their sometimes processing will be very extreme, but this may be a style of his, with his own heart, and many singers in our time are still following the public aesthetic." 」 ”

Referring to the future plan, Hang Tianqi revealed that he is preparing several theater-level solo singing, "We also have to be pragmatic, because the reality is that I have participated in some commercial performances in recent years, and there have been no new songs, although there have been such a good foundation before, but this time I hope to see myself as a newcomer, without having to be stuck 'I was an old artist' or whatever." You have to respect the market and at the same time adapt to all the new situations that are happening. ”
