China's most humanistic idol singing group.
The most harmonious sound frequency and wisdom collision in Asia-Shui Mu Nianhua
Aim at the first singing group in China.
In 2003, it seems that there were few new people and new things in China music scene. However, with the release of Shui Mu Nianhua's "New Songs+Featured 3", the entertainment circle in China seems to have found the long-awaited boiling point. The idols that fans are looking forward to paying attention to with their eyes wide open have brought shock to the domestic music scene after merging their own individuals and refreshing their music, which is enough to remind people of the powerful fifth element. Tsinghua campus "high IQ" is popular in music man, Lu Gengxu and Miao Jie, and there is enough strength and reason to make you believe that the person who climbed the range in the current music scene is Shui Mu Nianhua. ...
Even image reason
Open Lu Gengxu's new book "Time in Shui Mu-Music Tsinghua me", and you will be surrounded by wisdom, persistence, elegance and a wisp of mood. In that impetuous era, Shui Mu's musical rationality when he was young made people cry-love. Idealism, simple life, sunshine, petty bourgeoisie, advocating challenges, being willing to take risks, delicate emotions and elegant and cool image are all enough to make Shui Mu Nianhua's idol positioning deeply rooted in the hearts of fans.
Song sound reason
After the personnel adjustment, in Shui Mu, in addition to Lu Gengxu's wisdom and slightly sad voice, Miao Jie, a new member, brought a dynamic and excellent treble. The adjusted Shui Mu time still enriches Lu Gengxu's unique musical concept, while Lu Gengxu's own voice also pursues skills and incorporates emotional changes. The voice of dating us again: still delicate, still emotional, but more passionate, a little rock. Absorbed the essence of previous works and tried the direction of future development. Lu Gengxu and Miao Jie's distinctive voices are matched together, which is a perfect match. Wonderful songs occupy people's restless or ups and downs or eager or excited souls, which can't be forgotten for a long time.
Process and reason
Many highlights in Shui Mu Nianhua's new album show the musical concept of change, renewal, challenge and internationalization to the music industry. In the first quarter of 2003, the new song "In Another Country", which won the China Top Ten Golden Melody Awards, the new song "Diary of Losing Love", which showed the tone and decadent temperament of British guitars, the refreshing cello version of Iris, and the popular version of Dancing Gently, which was sung by many campus singers, are full of the wisdom of pop music, which is where Lu Gengxu and Miao Jie are most fascinated by songs.

[Edit this paragraph] Intelligent collision
In 2003, it seems that there were few new people and new things in China music scene. However, with the release of Shui Mu Nianhua's In a Foreign Land, New Songs+Selection and Three, the entertainment circle in China seems to have found the long-awaited boiling point. The idols that fans are looking forward to paying attention to with their eyes wide open have brought shock to the domestic music scene after merging their own individuals and refreshing their music, which is enough to remind people of the powerful fifth element. Tsinghua campus's "high IQ" is popular with music man Lu Gengxu and Miao Jie, and there is enough strength and reason for you to believe that he is the only one climbing this range in the current music scene.
[Edit this paragraph] Double illusion
In 2007, the recording of Shui Mu Nianhua's latest album was finally completed in Le Jiaxuan, the largest record company in Asia. This album was finally named Double Fantasy. This record devoted Shui Mu's endless efforts, and did not completely follow the style of the last album. World Wind is the biggest highlight of the album, including Russian folk songs in Moscow twilight, Japanese minor in Broken Heart, and Rose in the Night Wind with fiery Latin flavor. Different regions, cultures and styles of music complement each other in the album. Shui Mu Nianhua's precise grasp of the atmosphere of songs makes the audience feel as if they were there.
In terms of song selection, Shui Mu Nianhua strives to be the first excellent song. While playing "world style", there are naturally songs with self-essence in Shui Mu's youth. The songs with humanistic flavor in the two albums "Past Youth" and "Narcissus" were vividly interpreted by Shui Mu Nianhua. The song "Lend Me My Life" was not only loved by fans when the single was promoted, but also praised as the masterpiece of Shui Mu's love life that is worthy of everyone's expectation after "I have you all my life" and "In a foreign land".

After the personnel adjustment, in Shui Mu, in addition to Lu Gengxu's wisdom and slightly sad voice, Miao Jie, a new member, brought a dynamic and excellent treble. The adjusted Shui Mu time still enriches Lu Gengxu's unique musical concept, while Lu Gengxu's own voice also pursues skills and incorporates emotional changes.

Lu Gengxu and Miao Jie's distinctive voices are matched together, which is a perfect match. Wonderful songs occupy people's restless or ups and downs or eager or excited souls, which can't be forgotten for a long time.
[Edit this paragraph] Sad and wet.
Double Fantasy is the sixth album of Shui Mu Nianhua. In the last album "Rhapsody of Life", Shui Mu Nianhua brought a highly musical album, which combined symphony, gorgeous experimental rock, electronic music, baroque and other elements. This double illusion, Shui Mu Nianhua pays more attention to "return"-that is, return to folk songs in music and return to literature and art in lyrics.
The heavy sense of meaning and the melody of music are well balanced in this album "Double Fantasy". Strings and guitars throughout are the favorite tunes of young artists. While the music is unified, the album has diversified music types, such as Russian folk songs and Spanish flamenco music, as well as the addition of Japanese minor, which greatly improves the audibility of this album.
In today's mainland original music scene, singers who can keep the release speed of one album a year are rare-of course, those little idols who spoil the game by unreliable draft competitions should not be counted as "singers". It is quite difficult to maintain the level of music at a steady speed. Fortunately, Shui Mu Nianhua did this. Every new album is better than the last one, which is really hard to get.
[Edit this paragraph] Album function
If the last album "Rhapsody of Life" Shui Mu Nianhua added more experimental elements of bandization, then this time they have made their music direction and content more clear. On the song page, Lu Gengxu wrote such a note: "The experience of growing up/the process of losing our ideals and fantasies/fortunately/we have music to fight against aging/sadness against secularism ..." Humanistic care, campus complex and literary temperament, this time, Shui Mu Nianhua showed his most unique characteristics to the fullest. The beautiful and melodious song "Lend me my life" and the sad and clear song "Don't cry, my favorite person" deeply wedged into the most touching part of people's hearts. Whether it is the bagpipes in "Lend Me My Life" or the acoustic guitars in "Don't cry, my favorite person", they are the timbre closest to our hearts, and they all have moving primary luster. In today's music world, which is full of junk music, there are very few music that can touch people's hearts, but Shui Mu Nianhua did this at least in these two songs.
Until I saw the sea light, the name was very literary. The interweaving of piano and strings is a yearning for birth. The sea is a spiritual symbol, which reminds me of the classic poem of the famous poet Haizi in the 1980s: "Facing the sea, spring blossoms." Just like Until I See the Sea, Listen to My Heart is an open and closed work. The arrangement of this song combines electronics, symphony and metal, which plays a very good role in setting off the expression of emotions. Cold Wonderland is a song with lyrics of Haruki Murakami. The unique coldness of Nordic music makes this song "different" in the whole album. Unexpectedly, Shui Mu Nianhua will use a Russian folk song to think about the heavy proposition of history and life. Dusk in Moscow is fresh and the chorus is nice.
Covering Zheng Zhihua's classic "Don't cry, my favorite person" in the 1990s is a kind of sadness from the bottom of life. If it is unavoidable pain and purity in life, then the equally clear "youth past" is a simple injury that anyone who has had campus experience will not ignore. "At that time, love looked so beautiful/I thought it would last forever/I hugged each other silently with my eyes closed/as if there was no dawn in the world …" The acoustic guitar fiddled with a sense of sadness of youth, flowing through our lives like running water, whether urgent or slow, and it was precisely because of its clarity that it left an eternal mark on our lives. "Once upon a time as a teenager" is my personal favorite song in this album. Although it is only a minor, I like it, because it always makes me feel tired and lonely in the dead of night, and I will have an impulse to return to youth-for people like me who have been honed by the absurd world in the secular years, returning to youth is a new life.
In this absurd era in which we live, there has long been no sadness of "leaving home with one heart and worrying about death", and no oath of "drinking and laughing with you for 30 thousand games without complaining about leaving the injury", and all good feelings have become less flashy and material. Maybe we should be grateful, at least some beautiful music and some sad feelings warm our tired secular troubles like a mirror of happiness.
[Edit this paragraph] Hangzhou Concert
On July 0 1 2008, Nianhua held an unplugged concert in Hangzhou-Zhejiang Concert Hall after Yu Quan, Xin and Zhang. He Miao and other classic works "In a Foreign Land" and "You are in My Life" were broadcast live. Familiar works and simple accompaniment seem to bring fans back to their innocent student days. In the performance that night, Shui Mu Nianhua even covered the works of Tayu Lo, Zheng Zhihua and Bobby Chen to pay tribute to the 1970s.
As the fifth stop of the national tour of "Red Bull Unplugged Concert", Shui Mu Nianhua continued the consistent style of the previous four concerts, which was not fancy or exaggerated, and touched fans with the simplest soundtrack and the most sincere singing skills. Because the works of 1 1 sung that day are familiar to fans, almost every song can become a chorus.
Especially when the music of "In a Foreign Land", "I am very happy to fall in love with you", "Goodbye to my favorite person" and "I have you all my life" starts, the audience's voice is even higher than Shui Mu's youth. The audience sang these songs in unison with a powerful voice, which touched the singers on the stage. Miao Jie even left her seat and stood in front of the stage to beat the audience.
Nostalgia reached its climax. It is worth mentioning that at the concert, Shui Mu Nianhua also sang Don't cry, My favorite person, Wild Lily also has spring, and One Night in Beijing. These songs pay tribute to the "God of Songs" who influenced the post-1970s generation, and Miao Jie also showed off her singing skills of "Peking Opera" overnight in Beijing.
[Edit this paragraph] Closed for one year.
Although concert after concert, Shui Mu Nianhua announced that it would "close down" for some time after completing the "Red Bull Unplugged Concert". "We actually had this plan after we founded the company. Not long ago, we signed three new groups, bands, groups and single singers. The goal this year is to introduce them. " When asked about these three groups of singers, Shui Mu said that they are a rock band, a classical band and a creative singer. Although I was born in Tsinghua, the singer I chose didn't have this requirement. "We are interested in their talents and don't care about their academic qualifications. Many foreign singers read only primary schools. " Shui Mu Nianhua said that the post-production of the record has entered the countdown stage. "We don't believe that a powerful creative singer can't get out!" Before Lu Gengxu revealed it, he had already announced in the circle: If you don't do the show, Shui Mu will quit the music scene.
[Edit this paragraph] Related evaluation
Shui Mu Nianhua has been called a "singer with high IQ" by the media. Two members graduated from Tsinghua University, the most famous institution of higher learning in China. 200 1, they became famous with campus folk songs full of rich humanistic flavor. In 2002, member Li Jian announced her solo flight.
Music is art, and records are commodities. Shui Mu Nianhua said that their music is absolutely loyal to themselves, and they will not do things they don't like for business needs and the market. Songs like "I have you all my life" were not popular when they first came out, but they gradually became popular after a while, which just proved that their music is very vital. The new album to be released in September will leave the campus and attract more social attention. For example, Tears of the Sun hopes for world peace, and The Escape Train is about a child who runs away from home because of family problems.
Like many groups, members flying solo will always cause a lot of speculation and distrust in the media and fans. Lu Geng said: "Li Jian's departure proves that our pursuit of music may be different, but we are still good friends in private. I can't comment on his music now. I have been in charge of the creation of our young people in Shui Mu. I'm in good shape now. The new member Miao Jie's treble is rare in China, and his creative and singing level has improved. We have absolute confidence in this. "
Speaking of Temple Street, it has a long history with Shui Mu. 1998 After graduating from college, he went to IBM as a senior system service expert and project manager with good professional performance and English level in order to repay his parents' kindness for many years. Miao Jie stayed in this international company which ranks among the top 500 in the world for four years. Until one day in 2002, Xiao Lu called Miao Jie home, and Xiao Lu persuaded Miao Jie to join "Shui Mu Time". But at that time, Miao Jie had just joined IBM, and his boss valued him very much, and other companies were also poaching people. Generally speaking, it was the peak of his personal development, but somehow Miao Jie agreed happily. Miao Jie said this to me later. At that time, his monthly income was five figures, but for the sake of music, he gave up all this, because he felt that it was worthwhile to devote his life to his favorite career. "Xiao Lu's words made me find that I like making music and singing best, so I resolutely resigned from the company."
But Li Jian is an aesthete, or he is almost a perfectionist. He subconsciously rejects the ugliness of the adult world. In his eyes, the visible and exposed adult world may be the enemy of youth. His musical ideal is to make us forget the ubiquitous indifference in city life. This is a fresh and warm ivory tower for us to avoid, because we really need this illusory and dangerous image, and no one can determine the distance between us and our real desires.
Li Jian doesn't want to wake up in youth, or he doesn't want to enter an adult world. He created an idealized youth myth through the fuzziness of music, and he turned the youth myth into a maze of youth through memory. In the sentimental image, his music shines like warm sunshine in the river of years that he thawed after transcending time. Both he and macneice, an English poet, have synaesthesia experience of frigid culture, but what Li Jian set aside is a warm current blowing the monsoon of youth, which is safe and cordial on that slow river. He would rather stay in the glory of his young life forever, which made him go beyond campus folk songs and take love, friendship and campus scenery as the object of singing. The festival of young life he sang is closest to our real and beautiful dreams.
