Who is ØZI? From Wikipedia, "Stefan Chen Yi-fan (Chinese: 陳惟凡; born March 27, 1997), known professionally as ØZI, is a Taiwanese American singer-songwriter and rapper. ØZI is noted for integrating the genres of contemporary urban hip-hop, R&B, and Mandopop."
In 2018, at the age of 21, he burst onto the scene with the album "ØZI: The Album", which was nominated for six awards and finally won the Golden Song for Best Newcomer and the Golden Sound for Best R&B Album.
This year he is back with BLEU. The inspiration for the title of the song "BLEU" is taken from the classic perfume series. The song tells of a relationship of players that wont last long just like the smell of perfume left in the air. It is addictive but will eventually disappear with the wind.
Dior Da Ying has a new song out this month, Hua Qi Bu Tong, 花期不同 translated as Different Flower Blooming Period. Its actually a very meaningful song, assuring that its ok to take your time to discover yourself, as each one of us is like a different flower in a field, taking its time to bloom after waiting a period of time.
Even the description of Dior Da Ying Youtube MV is also very meaningful:
It takes 60 days for a rose to bloom from seed to flower.
It takes 80 days for sunflowers to bloom from seed to flower.
Seeds will not turn into trees immediately
Nor is there a flower that is a flower from the beginning.
So don’t rush on your way in a hurry, don’t be afraid of everything,
Beyond their respective hills is the greatness of ordinary people.
You are neither behind nor ahead,
Because everyone's flowering period is different.
Give yourself more tolerance,
Also give time some time,
It will take you to your own sea of flowers.
冷言冷語的嘲諷 Lěngyánlěngyǔ de cháofèng (Cold hard and sarcastic words)
At number 4 on this week's chinese music chart, Andrew Tan/ Chen Shi An's love single "Jia Ju" or "Furniture" compares love with everyday objects. . Producer Zhang Jianjunwei hopes to use the most familiar music scenes to depict the daily sense and immersion of this song, "If love is a piece of furniture, I am willing to be a part of your life. I not only accompany you, but also want to participate in your heart." Every experience. Like a drawer, it organizes your mood; like a chair, it supports your center of gravity. Perhaps the most true love does not require words, it just needs to wait quietly, waiting for you to come close."
如果 我是你的抽屜 Rúguǒ wǒ shì nǐ de chōutì
也許就能為你 整理歸納心情 yěxǔ jiù néng wéi nǐ zhěnglǐ guīnà xīnqíng
如果 我是你的靠椅 rúguǒ wǒ shì nǐ de kào yǐ
至少可以當你 部份的重心 zhìshǎo kěyǐ dāng nǐ bù fèn de zhòngxīn

你看走到這一天 Nǐ kàn zǒu dào zhè yītiān
過去想像中的畫面 guòqù xiǎngxiàng zhōng de huàmian
路上失去的一些 lùshàng shīqù de yīxiē

While looking through the Chinese Charts, I came across this on Billboard. According to Billboard, TME UNI Chart, provided by Tencent Music Entertainment Group, ranks the top songs within China based on streaming and sales activity from seven major platforms (QQ Music, Kugou Music, Kuwo Music, WeSing, Weibo Music, Tencent Video) as well as national radio stations.
Looking at the songs on this month's chart, there are a few songs that I personally haven't heard. How interesting! Let me note down the top 5 songs on the Billboard Chinese Chart. Some of the songs I have provided the lyrics before and some are new songs which lyrics will be provided in future blog post.
Yong Gan Ai Yi Ci or translated title "Be brave to love once more" has light and electrifying synth-pop style. MV director Peng Dawson flipped the meaning of the song "Be Brave to Chase Love" and gave the video a black humorous rescue plot, revealing the ultimate meaning of "Only by being brave enough to save yourself first can you be brave enough to love yourself again!" It's a unique story as the one that needs rescuing is not a maiden.
