In violation of seven years' return to chinese music, li xian chul-chul changed the image of the "little fatty". Interviewee for map
ReleaseNew album"remember" for a special interview with the new kyoto newspaper
Seven years since king lee's departure from chinese music
"where's lee? Why didn't lee write a new song?"
Since the release of the album, the good sun, in september 2010, the name "li jie-chul" has become less visible in chinese music circles. Many are wondering, where did this man sing the r&b song, "the king of the golden song" , "through thinking too much" and "leaving out" and "the end"
A few days ago, the journalist of the newspaper shinjing met with the “disappeared persons” of the chinese-language concert in beijing. This time, he's in the house of marriage, and he's no longer a fatty, and he's finally back with his latest chinese album, remember。
Referring to these seven years of experience, li xianzhezen shared his efforts to develop the united states and the injustice he suffered. Will you worry that you will remember
“this is also a question that i have thought about. It's been seven years, and the world has changed, and the show world has changed. Do you remember me? Fortunately, a lot of fans and friends told me that they remember, "li's mandarin's mandarin is still not the standard, and it's still warm to laugh, "many of them have children, but tell me, "i remember, my kids sing your songs," so i really appreciate it."
“down” for seven years
We can't make a chinese album because of the contract
In 2005, after the launch of the first chinese-language album, shadow, li jie-chul, who sings r&b love songs, was quickly recognized by fans for his warm voice. Since then, "baby is me " , " no, it's perfect " , and almost every album of li jie-chul will have one or more high-singing love songs. In 2007, in the eighteenth golden prize, he also defeated lin junjie, cao, tao yi and wu keun by " baby is me " 。
"but i've always had an idea, because i think there's hardly any asian singing english in the u. S. Market. So when i had an opportunity to make an english album in the name of a group, i went to the united states.” he is korean american and his family now live in the united states. So, with the support of big brother wong, li has decided to go to america and start a new dream. He and two other regiment members, eddie shin and flowsik, formed a combination of aziatix, hoping to conquer the international arena with asian creations。
At the very beginning, aziatix's work had won the us and japanese itunes r&b/soul singles, but things didn't go as well as lee’s expectations.” at first, i talked to american companies, and i made these songs in english with groups, but i had to do my own chinese album. After the contract was signed, they wouldn't let me send my own things. "li jie-chul said, "my own music, my own chinese album, don't do anything."
Aziatix signed five contracts with the company without a time limit, “so if i spend my whole life doing these five, it's a lifetime contract. In fact, we started out with good grades and some champions. But for me, there were more times when i was unhappy, because i wanted to make a lot of music, but they wouldn't let me send it, and they wouldn't let me do my own albums, and i don't know why, they might have their thoughts, and i was in great pain. Our group went to a lot of places to promote and perform, but they didn't give us any money. So then we went to the lawyer, helped, and finally we got out."
Back to work
Remind everyone to love each other
It took me a whole year to finish this seven-year-old piece. The whole album is focused on time, the song or album design, and it goes on in time, "well, this album, i'd like to put in all the things i've felt and experienced over the years. I'm sure many people listen to this album with a few songs that touch their hearts. I hope they can say, "i actually understand that."
In the first song, "do you remember me?", li kept the phrase "will you remember me" from the composer at the time of the song "will you remember me," and then the author finished the whole song, "it's not just a love song, it's about a lot of people and things — family, friends or your animals. It is to remind you that the world has always changed, but you have to take care of everyone and love each other, because we don't know what's going to happen, so we value the present. If you want to call mom and dad, call now, don't wait."
Dialogue
"i'm not afraid to start again."
New kyoto: from personal development to the formation of groups, now that you've returned to the individual, will there be some ripples in your heart
Li xian chul: it's better to be personal. In fact, when we're doing a combination, because there's three people, and there's a lot of people in the production team, but when i'm doing it myself, i can really do 100 percent of lee's songs, and i don't have to think about how people feel. So in music, it's natural to do your own music。
News: your personal music style may not be the same as the group's song style. So what's your preference for
Li xian chul: my favorite is r&b。
New kyoto: during these seven years, have you been following the development of the whole chinese music arena
Li xian chul: there are some, but not very well understood. But i know a lot of fresh meat and a lot of boys' groups have been developing lately. I've always liked to listen to zhou dong's songs, as well as wang liang's songs, and my best friend jj's songs, and zhou's pens, they've always had some good songs. Last time i met zhou dong on the plane, he heard my new song, " do i remember me " , and said he saw my mv, and then he gave me a lot of encouragement and gave me some advice, and i thank him very much, because i haven't seen him for years and he'll give me some encouragement, and i am very touched by it. At that time, i felt that our show was quite united, and the singer was warm。
New kyote: is there any excitement and freshness in this new album
Lb: i never knew why my life would be a new start every five years and every seven years, as if i had pressed the "restart" button. Sometimes it hurts, but i'm not afraid of anything now. A lot of people ask me, would you regret that decision? There would be a bit of regret, but if i look back now, i'll make the same decision. Now i know how to deal with things, so these seven years actually make me grow and then stronger, so i'm not afraid to start again。
New kyote: what do you think is the biggest change in these seven years
Li yi chul: the biggest change, besides being a little old, is that my heart is filled with peace. I'm really grateful for all these seven years and i know how to handle things. So the biggest change is probably, a little bit clever. And it's a little healthier than before, because every day there's movement。
New kyoto: in 2016, your teammate flowsik also went to the korean program show me the money queue no. 5, after the contract was broken, and was liked by many. Now that you're back with your new album, what are your plans for the future? Will you go to some music show
Lb: i was preparing my own album when he was preparing the show. I'd like to participate in a music show if i had the chance, or in an idol men's group, but they probably don't want me, because i might see how my age is already like this. It's fun. But whether it is for the programme or not, i would like to go to many places to recommend new albums, because it has taken you so long to wait, or to have more music. I'm also doing a new song and a theme song for a play, and you'll hear it later。
01 day
Words: enik lin: enik lin, lee jie-chul
As the first song in the album, lee luang chul chose the english song "stay" and a brand-new name neil keyz to announce his return. "i feel like seven years ago. I know i haven't written a song for years, but i've used a new name because i really wanted to give you this song first. The reason for using an english song is that i had this feeling before — why is there no asian singing english? So i chose english. Fortunately, many people thought it was a good song, and at first many asked who it was, and i felt that i was right — a good song, whoever it was, would be heard.”
When asked about the rise and fall in the united states, would you like to go to foreign markets again? He said, “i think if i had a chance, i would have to send my chinese album, and if i had not, i would not have. Because i'm back, and i really feel like i'm home, and i'm so happy, so moved, and i'm never going to leave."
05 release
Ft. Inés
Words: choi wonk, enik lin, lee jing cheol
The lyrics:
Whether it's enough, the beast, the battle, we're looking for an exit
In the end, don't look back
It's hard, it's bad, it's bad, it's bad
The excuses, the wounds, the waves, the march, the learning to let go
Ninesh, who works with lee jung-chul, is a new man, "he loves music." lee said, "that's when i realized that there was no stage for me when i was new. Brother wong li gave me the opportunity to sing. So i myself wanted to give new people more opportunities. This song was recorded for the first time in the studio, and he was nervous at first, but he was a friend who really loved music. If he becomes a great star or artist, i hope he can help more new people.”
The theme of the release comes from the pressure of modern people, “i often see people too sad, with all kinds of stress or problems, but i don't know how to put it down, so i'm really sad when i see news of suicide. I hope this song " play" encourages everyone. It's hard today, but don't give up on yourself. Tomorrow will be better, not forever.”
Li said that when i was in the united states, i had a lot of unhappy days, "when i was stuck in that contract, i couldn't sing, i couldn't do what i wanted to do, i was so miserable, i couldn't sleep at night, i had to get drunk. I've been thinking, how did this happen? Why can't i do the music that i want to do, and it's been sad, it's been more depressing. I've thought about it, so give it up. No more music. But at that time, what i felt most was my family, and my wife was always there to encourage me. Many times we all feel we're alone, but not really, so don't give up.”
"one is not lonely."
Word: yellow sing: huang ying, li xuan chul
The lyrics:
It's been a long night
It's a waste of my heart
I'm drunk when i'm out of town
When will you be back
Being alone doesn't mean i'm lonely
Tomorrow's moon will be lit up
Lights up the vulnerability
The song " a man is not lonely " is very poetic and is the most difficult song in the new album. “when we recorded this song, i discussed it with the producers, and we left home many times to work or to study, to distance ourselves from our families or our loved ones, but when we knew they were waiting for us, we had more power. When i work somewhere else, i think someone's waiting for me, i have love over there, i look at the sky or the stars, and i think they can see it.”
Lee jie-chul has developed in several places, but he says that it really feels like going home only when he's doing his own chinese song. “although my mom, dad, and brother are in america, i went to america for a while, maybe almost three weeks, and i started to feel weird. Because i've been in asia for over half of my life. So now that i'm going to america, it's almost three weeks before i feel like i'm leaving. It's weird, it's weird, it's weird, it's not my bed. Or is it more homey here?"
