I am
mortified that Jay Chou has not been mentioned yet. An excellent composer, and he formed a pretty unbeatable duo with his lyricist Vincent Fang ...
怎麼沒有人提起周董??? 作曲高手,加上方文山的填詞,天下無比。。。
菊花台 / Chrysanthemum Terrace: one of his best 中國風 songs, IMO.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PdjbRvvJAzg髮如雪 / Hair Like Snow: actually, pretty much all of his 中國風 songs (especially those from his earlier albums) are top-notch ...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aaM7qG2ycjkJay Chou aside, I've also had this song playing non-stop for a while now. G.E.M. is what they describe in Hong Kong as 實力派 — members of the music industry who actually sell some form of singing talent rather than just looking good. Yes, the music industry in Hong Kong is actually kind of sad.
除了周杰倫之外,我這一陣子也不停地在聽著G.E.M.的《泡沫》。G.E.M.在香港的樂壇裡通常被稱為“實力派”的一份子,也就是形容那些靠唱功(而不單單靠形象)的歌手。香港的樂壇真的淪落到蠻悲慘的地步。。。
