Album introduction

. Changing

calmer and more convergent emotions

arouses deeper and more inner feelings

challenging the impossible self

Since the album Heroes on Earth, Wang Leehom has challenged the impossible self in the eyes of others for a year and a half.

From the moment the film "Lust, Caution" started shooting, he challenged himself and made up his mind to accomplish the unexpected Wang Leehom. A childhood spent in new york, baptized by western education, a Wang Leehom with a modern appearance of foreign style, even the Chinese style in his music creation, is full of trendy modernity; Unexpectedly, he will appear in Lust, Caution as a retro image. It's really hard to imagine how Wang Leehom, who is full of modernity and always strives for innovation and change, lives in the "Zhang Ailing" world that seems to have nothing to do with him.

The literature of China, Shanghai and Zhang Ailing in 193s reappeared in "Lust and Caution". In the 19th century, the famous literary works "Reason and Sensibility" set in Britain, "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" with China's martial arts theme but with oriental Zen, and "Brokeback Mountain" which subverts the tradition of American western movies, Ang Lee never repeats his filming, but always challenges himself, transcends himself and seeks more creative possibilities. What you didn't expect was his next step. This kind of Ang Lee is the character that Wang Leehom worships.

In music creation, Leehom is always innovating, trying to change, breaking through himself and challenging more possibilities. Just like Ang Lee, they are always challenging themselves and others' unexpected selves. Rather than challenging the market, it never dances because of market trends. Being able to constantly "innovate" is the reason why Leehom loves music creation. He believes that when his works are recognized, even studied and imitated, he should constantly change himself, grow and innovate, and challenge more possibilities, which is the responsibility of a music creator.

Enlightened by Ang Lee, Wang Leehom changed himself once again

Jumped out of himself and found everyone indispensable

Wang Leehom re-recognized his relationship with the world and made changes. During the filming of his album

with Lust, Caution, Wang Leehom saw what a "world-class production team" was.

In the past, when making music, Wang Leehom often flew around the United States, Taiwan Province and Peking to cooperate with outstanding musicians from all over the world. In addition, he also served as his own MV director, directing filming. However, the scale of filming this time is far beyond Wang Leehom's past experience. From setting up scenery, making props, making basic entities of costumes and fine arts, to technical teams such as photography, lighting and recording, plus actors, reporters, makeup artists, hair stylists, etc., hundreds of staff from different countries and regions have completed the filming work step by step under the overall command of director Ang Lee. Looking at so many people working together, Wang Leehom's heart was moved differently.

In order to perform the role of Kuang Yumin in Lust, Caution, Wang Leehom jumped out of her own world and lived again in 193s Shanghai written by Zhang Ailing. During that time, in the play, he was Kuang Yumin; Outside the play, he is the actor Wang Leehom. This experience gave Wang Leehom a different point of view when he returned to his original role as a musician.

In this large-scale crew, Wang Leehom deeply felt that a great work needs everyone's concerted efforts; Even the smallest man has his strength, and at the same time, even the greatest man can't do it. For example, if no one made tables, chairs and scenery in the 193s, it would be impossible to faithfully present the scene at that time; But at the same time, even director Ang Lee, who was in charge of all the shooting, couldn't make a carved wooden chair in the 193s by himself. After all, everyone has his specialty, and there is no shortage of this crew.

Realizing that he is only a member of this big group, Wang Leehom has a new understanding of his relationship with the world. Back to the world of music, Wang Leehom brought back this understanding; He jumped out of the musician's pattern and looked at what he could do for the world with music from the perspective of "being a part of the world" and do his best to contribute. In the past, Wang Leehom, a musician, was concerned about whether he could innovate the music trend and lead Chinese music to a new realm with his Chincked-out music style. But now, Wang Leehom hopes that his music can contribute to the whole world. He understands his own insignificance in the vast sea of people, and he knows more about what he can do for everyone who listens to music with his own strength. Therefore, he decided to use "Change Yourself" as the title of his new album, hoping to use the power of music to convey this idea, so that everyone can start from themselves and change the world!

an album that changes the world changes itself and makes hope move forward!

following the chinked-out genre, Wang Leehom's brand-new metamorphosis works are new to the eyes and ears of the world.

Wang Leehom starts to save the earth from itself!

Minimalist album design uses environmentally-friendly paper to print environmentally-friendly chopsticks, which are given with the album in limited quantities

After chinked-out's style is completely new to the world, Wang Leehom has once again transformed into a creative theme, taking "environmental protection" as the theme of his latest album in 27. Leehom has always believed that the power of music is infinite. He feels that music can be close to everyone, and nothing can't be conveyed through music. Through the brisk rhythm, easy-to-hum melody and interesting lyrics of the song "Change Yourself", let all fans sing together and convey this positive idea. Just like sowing seeds, it will grow into a big tree one day. Wang Leehom also expects to spread his love from himself, change himself and make the world a better place!

In the song "Change Yourself", Leehom mentioned the environmental protection issues that the whole world is paying attention to. Starting from his life, he said, "I got up this morning and felt a little headache, perhaps because there was too much carbon dioxide and not enough oxygen", and gently pointed out the current problems of excessive carbon dioxide and global warming. On this issue, Leehom also started from himself. He insisted on minimalism in the packaging of his new album, giving up the usual plastic chassis and further using environmentally-friendly paper for printing. Leehom is looking forward to attracting more attention from others, and specially ordered environmentally-friendly chopsticks are included with the album, so as to remind fans to change themselves immediately, change the habit of using disposable chopsticks and change the environmentally-friendly chopsticks they carry with them, thus helping to reduce the loss of trees and natural resources.

In addition to environmentally-friendly chopsticks and printing with environmentally-friendly paper, environmental protection should be thoroughly implemented from the packaging; The album also notes "saving the earth is urgent, ten things you can do" and so on. Some people may say, how much help can such a small change bring to the big environment? But this is the concept that Leehom wants to convey to everyone: "Don't think it is difficult to change the world, everything can start with changing yourself." Leehom feels that although the topic of "environmental protection" is very big, people often don't know where to start, but it's actually not difficult at all. Just start with the little things around you, such as using environmental chopsticks and recycled paper, and the world will slowly start to change because of you!

An album that changed the world, Wang Leehom planted trees with music, expecting everyone to change themselves; Change the landscape of our future world.

Mood-changing songs are also different

Change your own lyrics and hear Wang Leehom's more responsive creations

Wang Leehom's creations always follow his heart.

Creation never repeats itself, and Wang Leehom's songs always give people a refreshing feeling; After the baptism of filming "Lust, Caution", Leehom's current state of mind has become calm and contented, and he is no longer passionate. Therefore, he feels more deeply about the delicate feelings between people. This change of mood is reflected in the works of the album "Change yourself"; The slow songs in the album have become deeper and more heartfelt than before, but they are more touching; The songs in the fast version are more approachable, so you can easily swing with Leehom.

In this album, Wang Leehom is not only in complete control of production and composition, but also hands-on in lyrics. As his Chinese is getting better and better, he has written the lyrics of nine songs, so we can better understand Wang Leehom's creative ideas from this album.

from the beginning of "falling leaves return to their roots", people are amazed at his calm and restrained, but more profound and touching side.

Wang Leehom's "falling leaves return to the roots"

"falling leaves return to the roots", a very China idiom, is the return of Wang Leehom's heart. As the dictionary says, "the fallen leaves return to their roots" is a metaphor for people's feelings of not forgetting their roots and homesickness; For Wang Leehom, this idiom has a more subtle level.

Born and raised in the United States, he returned to the place where his parents were born to develop his career and show his talents in the Asian Chinese circle, attracting attention. Wang Leehom's life experience was originally like this idiom. In the past, he always represented the pop and trendy, singing Chinked-out Chinese hip-hop and leading the latest and most in-depth music trend, until Lust Caution brought him back to Shanghai in the early Republic of China and lived a new life among the street scenes, costumes, dialogues and manners at that time. In that state of mind, Wang Leehom realized another kind of fallen leaves, which is a cultural trace, and a new understanding of the life that China people once had.

Emotionally, from the film Lust, Caution, Wang Leehom deeply realized that she was reserved and reserved, but she was more affectionate and reluctant to give up, which was a unique emotional expression of China people. Leehom turned this experience into lyrics, set it to music, and sang the "fallen leaves return to their roots" of love. Just like a wanderer who has left his hometown, the deepest refuge in his heart is the hometown where he is eager to belong; In love, the only home I miss, look forward to, and yearn to go back, my attachment in this life will always be by her favorite side.

where the heart wants to go, the fallen leaves return to their roots. In the words written by Wang Leehom, we all returned to love.

A dream completed with a friend who never turns his back on us * * *

Wang Leehom invited a Lust, Caution photographer to shoot the beauty of "falling leaves"

Wang Leehom has always been very thoughtful about the visual presentation of songs, and he has also presented amazing works as a MV director in the past few albums. During the filming of Lust, Caution, Wang Leehom observed the way of international film shooting on the set, like a sponge immersed in it, constantly absorbing and learning; In addition to filming, Leehom often discusses photography aesthetics such as shooting skills and image presentation with the photographer Rodrigo Prieto Rodrigo Prito. Rodrigo Prieto Rodrigo Prito, who has filmed such good works as Brokeback Mountain and Crossed Firelines, is like a mentor to Leehom who loves filming, while Leehom's modesty and eagerness to learn and his talent in music creation have won the appreciation of Rodrigo Prieto Rodrigo Prito, and his heart is deep.

Therefore, after the song "Leaves Back to Roots" is finished, the first person Leehom wants to share is Prieto. He specially invited Prieto to take the photo of "Falling Leaves Back to Roots" MV. Since "Lust, Caution" filming has come to an end, Prieto has continued to invest in new film shooting, and both of them are busy people all year round. It is simply impossible to shoot a MV together. However, for the sake of his good brother Leehom, Prieto made special time in his full-time work, just to finish their co-creation with him. And Leehom, as the director, also showed the greatest sincerity to cooperate with Prieto to pull the crew to L.A. to shoot. However, this has also greatly increased the cost, making the MV of "falling leaves to the roots" with a budget as high as NT$ 3 million!

Changing yourself bit by bit can change the world

The album "Change yourself" is a single of the same name. Wang Leehom conveys serious issues in humor in a relaxed and self-deprecating way, so that everyone can easily accept it. The rhythm of "Change Yourself" is brisk, and the lyrics begin when Wang Leehom wakes up in the morning and finds that his hair is sleeping a little Kuso. After the change of mood, Leehom became less concerned about some things he cared about in the past, such as today's hairstyle; He turned his attention to the world around him. He wrote: "I've been annoyed recently, and I've been depressed recently. Every day I watch the news, I want to scream loudly, but it's useless to swear. Everyone will only think that I'm fierce. I changed myself and found that it's very different." Maybe I saw annoying negative news, which made people want to swear, but Wang Leehom began to change himself, and looked at it with a more positive attitude, starting with "changing myself".

He sang: "I can change the world, change myself, change my turtle hair, change my meanness, and only by working hard and never giving up can I change the world and change myself". Start from your own shortcomings and change the way you treat others. If everyone works together, the world will eventually become better! Through this song, Leehom wants to tell you that you should believe that your little power can change the world, so don't neglect your little actions, because everyone is also a great force when they accumulate!

Experience the beauty in the shortcomings and dig deep into the moving moments in the ordinary

Hear Wang Leehom's deeper feelings

Fast songs inspire people to be closer to you and me

The lyric slow songs in the album "Change Yourself" are not as passionate and enthusiastic as in the past, but start from the bottom of my heart. Wang Leehom used the heart of precipitation to find the emotion in the ordinary. Although "Falling Leaves Back to Roots" is based on the role of Kuang Yumin, it also talks about his feelings and feelings of returning to the cultural roots as a wanderer in a foreign land, and the slow string background music has pulled out stronger tension.

"Incomplete Melody" is a music experiment of Wang Leehom. It uses incomplete melody and strange rhythm to express the "regret" of incomplete feelings and missing a person. Although the melody is incomplete, under the ingenious thinking of Leehom, the whole song still sounds beautiful and pleasant. In this song, Leehom wants to convey his experience: "Defect" is also a kind of beauty, just depending on the angle you look at it.

"Late Night on Saturday" is a profound and low-pitched song, accompanied by a faint piano accompaniment and a little lonely singing by Wang Leehom, telling a man's tears when he recalled the past in the middle of the weekend. This is also Wang Leehom's new attempt. In the past, we have never heard Wang Leehom so deeply and deeply in his works. In this song, we have heard how he expressed regret and loss.

The fast songs on the album "Change Yourself" are very inspiring, such as "Encouragement of Love".
