eˆ¤“I–Ô—F˜ì,
I appreciate all the discussion over the past few days about my album,
"S’†“I“úŒŽ". It is so different from anything I've done in the past, and as I have repeatedly stated, is a new beginning, the attempt to create a clearer sonic identity for Chinese hip-hop music,the, "Chinked-out" style. Whether I succeeded or not in this goal,only time will tell. I definitely don't expect everyone to "get it" right away...and that's ok!
To me, making music is not about winning awards. Creating songs that I believe in and sharing them with the world is my greatest joy and I feel blessed to be able to do what I love. That to me, is where all the success is. If I win awards, if my album sells well, that's just a bonus.
I know my supporters feel strongly about this album, and so do I. But I don't care if it doesn't win an award, so please don't feel bad! In fact many of the most important musical works in history were critically denounced at the time.
I'd rather spend my time and energy moving forward, helping to create, not destroy, what so many young Chinese composer artists like myself are devoting our lives to: the best music we can make. If you'd rather hear music that is more "çjé ", there's plenty out there! But I believe that our music is our culture, and someday soon the whole world will listen to Chinese pop music, and thru it, understand more about Chinese people. I hope my positive energy spreads to you all as well. Don't be angry, it's not worth it!
Love, peace and music,
