Wu Tsing-fong, the founder and lead vocalist of Taiwanese band Sodagreen, released his debut solo album, “Spaceman,” featuring 12 original songs, in September last year. This Friday night at 7:30 p.m., a documentary about the album and music videos of some songs will be shown on Tencent Music Entertainment’s four apps: QQ Music (QQ音乐), Kugou Music (酷狗音乐), Kuwo Music (酷我音乐) and WeSing (全民K歌). Fans can also interact with Wu during the live-streaming event. “Spaceman” is Wu’s first album after Sodagreen announced a three-year break in 2017. Speaking about the break, Wu said in an earlier interview that he spent the first year at home reading books and watching concerts of his favorite singer-songwriters, such as Tori Amos. Wu, who studied Chinese in college, is good at delivering and portraying emotions through his poetic and romantic lyrics. Speaking about the album, he said, “It turned out to be a very personal work about my fear, courage, loneliness and my communication with other people. Music can inspire the work that brings changes. My feelings are like pieces scattered around on the ground, which have been in me for a long time. I picked them up little by little while writing the songs.” The title song, “Spaceman,” has an intro of over one minute, involving musical instruments, such as piano, guitar, violin and drums, and tells the story of a spaceman returning to Earth after years in a space station alone. Another song, “The Carnival of Babel,” was inspired by a novel, “The Tower of Babel” by Australian writer Morris West, which Wu read in 2017.(SD News) |
