bluepoppy Posted January 18, 2005 at 12:20 AM Report Share Posted January 18, 2005 at 12:20 AM http://tw.music.yahoo.com/express/2313.html English:http://www.leehomaus.com/ (sorry can't post the exact link, my computer is in a bad mood and won't open the site...since i installed msn messenger...the English article is on this site i think) I just read about 王力宏s new CD called Shangri-La. Apparently he has developed a new style of music called 'chinked-out'... Has anyone heard the new songs? What do you think? And the concept... you can read about it through the links... Do you think it will be popular?...Is it just a marketing tool or a real trend in music? And, of course, is this term 'chinked-out' acceptable to you? 晚安！ (Edited this cos I made a lot of mistakes cos my computer kept on crashing. Also, took out this 'chinked out' phrase from the title...hope I didn't upset anyone. ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisburk87 Posted February 9, 2005 at 05:42 PM Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 at 05:42 PM 新專輯真好聽 是他最好的專輯 覺得心中的日月很特別 我很喜歡過來和竹林深處那兩首歌 我整天聽到那張專輯 越聽越喜歡 但是我相信心中的日月不要改變華語音樂 華語音樂總是很特別 如果聽到林俊傑的江南一定發現那首歌是中式的 也可以聽到周華健的刀劍如夢或周傑倫的東風破 不過我不喜歡那個生詞叫chinked out His new album is really great. I think it's his best one. I listen to it all day long, and like it more and more. I personally favor the songs 過來 and 竹林深處 But I think his music won't change Chinese music that much, because Chinese music always has been very special, very 'chinked out'. For example 林俊傑 江南. Nevertheless, I don't like the word 'chinked out'. 可以去到這裏 http://www.lee-hom.com/ 是王力宏的臺灣網頁 能試看 Forever Love 心中的日月 和 放開你的心 對不起我的中英文不太好 I am sorry. My Chinese and English isn't that good.

bluepoppy Posted February 9, 2005 at 07:49 PM Author Report Share Posted February 9, 2005 at 07:49 PM Hello! I think your English is great, don't worry. When I first read about the use of this term, I was surprised...I think his idea is good, but I don't like the term. But then sometimes it's possible to change the connotation of a word, for example as with the word 'gay'. Here's an article in English about the new album. http://www.taipeitimes.com/News/feat/archives/2005/01/20/2003220231/print And here's an interview in English with Wang Lee Hom...it tells us his blood group too which could be handy if you ever need to give him a blood transfusion ??? http://www.nationjunior.com/entertainment/qanda/index.php According to the Taipei Times WLH said "Chinese pop music does not have a strong enough sonic identity." As a result the pop idol has opted to "create a sound that is international and at the same time Chinese." Something that he has dubbed "chinked-out."Wang may well have set out to, as he puts it, "create a new vibe the whole world can identify with as being Chinese," but the result is far from pleasing.

chrisburk87 Posted February 10, 2005 at 08:28 AM Report Share Posted February 10, 2005 at 08:28 AM 'Chink' is not such a nice word, but I think when Chinese themself say it, it is ok. It would just be offending when a white or black or whatever calls a Chinese chink. What I think is special about this album, is that 王力宏 mixes the sound of Chinese folk music with HipHop and R'n'B. Modern Chinese-style songs mostly are pop songs. Have you bought his album? I think what is really nice is his bonus vcd (王力宏雲藏采風音樂實錄). BTW, Happy New Year 雞年快樂 Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
