Keywords: independent warmth

Independent warmth was completely released. In the winter of 2005, I met Cao Fang!

Independent

Independent, because of the richness of her heart and her creative self. Spontaneity and freedom are her labels, "I will buy my order", "At the bottom of my heart / there is a place where you must stop", what can be seen everywhere in the words is a portrayal of her independent life. As one person took over the songwriting and writing of all the album's tracks, her complete independence in creation made her unique among mainland female singers.

Cao Fang grew up in the remote Xishuangbanna, where the Han people are a minority and children from the Dai people were her childhood playmates. The sky there is very blue, the water there is very transparent, the people there are very simple, and the education of the parents is also unrestrained. Since then, Cao Fang has developed a free and unrestrained personality.

When she was a child, she was an obedient child, but her ideas were always a little different. For example, when painting, she would not necessarily use blue when painting the sky, but she would open up her imagination infinitely. Later, whenever she thought of a picture, she would habitually turn it into sound and write it in the form of a song, using music to compose the picture in her heart.

When she writes, she listens to music. When writing songs, she also listens to a piece of music first. All she listens to is music she has written, and it is best to sing it herself. In this impetuous season, she felt like an arrogant frog hiding in the dense woods, admiring herself, leisurely, and extremely happy.

When writing songs, Cao Fang doesn’t like to use chord routines, because that will limit the inspiration for creation. When he has an idea, the guitar, bass, computer, piano, drums... all around him will come to him easily. Use it to refine the idea and write a beautiful melody. The exquisite and moving musical sketch "In Summer" in the album was written using the mouth organ. In addition, she also specially developed a new creative method: "dart music" - using randomly thrown darts to add notes to the text, and then develop a melody, which is Cao Fang's unique secret to writing songs. The song "ICY is a Lady" dedicated to his father in the album is a representative work developed from "dart music":)

Warmth

Warmth, because of her innocence, because of her childish. For such a sensitive girl born in the 1980s who is a little paranoid and a little emotional, what she picks up at random are bits and pieces of her life. She is a little naughty and a little lonely, but warmth can be seen everywhere. In her music, you can find "The sun will shine below" Meet me in this season."

"In the past, if I wanted to live a quiet life, all I had to do was give me a small space to write, scratch, hum and write. This is still the case for me now.

"

If he could not sing, Cao Fang's wish is to be an adventurer and a wanderer. "I like to see the scenery and people that I have never seen before." Now Cao Fang will also It’s time to travel, feel nature, feel life, accumulate creative inspiration, and record these feelings. In December, the flowers in "Jinuo Mountain" bloomed, and she suddenly flew back to Xishuangbanna to have a "two weeks holiday".

Cao Fang’s favorite magazine is actually "Happy Kitchen" because cooking is one of her hobbies. As a Taurus gourmet, she just cooks it herself. Talent is needed just like writing songs, and she has both. Plus, she doesn’t have to worry about eating too much and getting fat, so cooking has become a major pleasure in life for a perfectionist like her, whether it’s Han cuisine or Dai cuisine. She can even get Western food at her fingertips, and her skills are no problem.

As for love, she hopes that her boyfriend will be simple, but one with substance. She hopes that his smile will be as innocent as a child. . Her attitude towards love is: trust and pursuit. To today's men and women, single-mindedness and loyalty seem to be a joke. But the more the world becomes like this, the more she believes in love and her own love.

"I want to live my own life. There is a room where I grow tall cacti, arrange flowers in the summer, and drink milk tea in the winter. Here I can play the piano and write songs without restraint, or sing loudly without stage fright... There is also a special balcony that can satisfy my crazy ideas. Sitting in the air, writing and singing to the sky. Whether arranging flowers or drinking milk tea, it will be extremely quiet here. "This is Cao Fang's final fantasy for his life.

The above is an incomplete record of Cao Fang's creation

The 2003 release. After the release of the all-composed album "Black Perfume", although the promotion was low-key, the quality of the album was quickly recognized by the industry. Some media regarded her as another talented female singer-songwriter after Ding Wei. In addition to records, Cao Fang's ability to create for others has also gained a good reputation. Many artists have competed for invitations to sing, so that this little girl has no worries in life and is happy not to run around for publicity. She can live leisurely in her own creative world, quietly. Accumulating.

Two years later, the new album "Meet Me" was released. Cao Fang took over the lyrics and composition of all 11 songs. The 11 songs are full of talent and rich connotation, making her a well-deserved The backbone of creative girls

Keywords: Xiao Ke

When Cao Fang was just a little girl who loved singing and creating, she met the famous musician Xiao Ke- -The Bole God specially arranged for her, in Xiao Ke's original words, Cao Fang was a singer he "picked up" on the street. It turned out that Cao Fang, who loved music, liked to play with a group of boys in the band at school. But she never thought about singing or being a singer. By chance, a demo of her work was taken to a record store by a friend, and was taken away by a passerby. Later, after several rounds of transfers, the demo came to a store where she was doing Shangri-La in Yunnan. Xiao Ke was holding a record, which aroused his great interest, but he didn't know where to find this girl. A few months later, a miracle happened. Cao Fang came to Beijing to participate in the finals of "Xingwang's First National College Original Music Competition". , Xiao Ke happened to be a judge. When he heard Cao Fang's song, he found that it was the same as the song in the demo, so they were so lucky to meet.

A year later, Cao Fang was single. She came to Beijing and became Xiao Ke's music assistant, and then became a singer under Xiao Ke's banner. They became "master and apprentice", according to Xiao Ke: "Beijing has a girl who writes songs and sings about her own life." , sing about your own life. Listening to her songs is like reading her diary, true, self-centered and simple. "

"Meet Me" is still produced by Xiao Ke. When talking about Cao Fang, Xiao Ke is quite satisfied with this female disciple. He said: Cao Fang is a person who has excellent composition and singing skills. There are not many singers in today's music scene who are balanced in both aspects. The two masters and apprentices have many different opinions on how to handle music, and they can often collide with each other. Cao Fang also said that as long as they see each other, With the master present, I felt more at ease, performed better, and recorded more smoothly.

What is even more impressive is the innocence and self that radiate throughout the album while maintaining listenability. "City Scarecrow", which has a strong Xishuangbanna style, is the name of Cao Fang's own blog. It is sung in an electronic breakbeat and talks about the yearning for freedom; "ICY is a Lady", which has a British flavor, is written for his father (ICY is Cao Fang's English name) is also my favorite song in the album.

A childlike music box intro, a beautiful Bass Line, a few touches of distorted guitar, and a lovely chorus with lovely harmonies. He kept shouting "Daddy", bringing together a naughty and mischievous girl who is loved by her father. The image of the daughter is vividly expressed.
