Qi Qin, born on January 12, 1960 in Taichung City, Taiwan Province, is a Taiwanese male singer and music creator. In 1981, he released his first album "Seeing Liu Liu Liu Again" and later enlisted in the army. In 1985, after retiring, he published his first creative album "Wolf". In 1987, he received widespread attention for his song "About Winter" and won the 11th Top Ten Chinese Golden Songs. And in that year, his songs began to spread to the mainland and became popular all over the country.
If you talk about Chinese pop music , Qi Qin is an unavoidable historical figure; if you talk about the rise of mainland pop music, Qi Qin has a greater influence. In the mid-1980s, Taiwanese pop music began to become more urbanized and European and American. The representative figure of this transformation period was Qi Qin, who was a bit rebellious and melancholy, who created a new mainstream pop music. For mainland male singers in the mid-to-late 1980s, Qi Qin also became a popular figure in imitation, and many singers became famous by imitating and singing Qi Qin's music. After Zhang Xing came out of prison, an album called " Sun Rain ", which mainly covers Qi Qin's songs. Cai Guoqing covered "The Outer World", who else came in the early days? Tu Honggang has released a cover album that impersonated Qi Qin, and Liu Huan also covers many songs of Qi Qin, such as "About Winter", " Original Me ", " Winter Rain ", etc.
The influence of Qi Qin on the mainland music scene is even better than that of Luo Dayou and Li Zongsheng . His folk style has influenced generations of mainland singers, and it has been heard all the time. Unlike the profoundness and breadth of the two godfathers, he is fresh and timeless, and has his own style, simple soundtracks, simple melodies, and simple lyrics, but he is good at simplifying the simplicity and even controls the simplicity. He shows the true meaning in the ordinary and shows his temperament in the simplicity. He is a very clever method, and he has a unique style. This method and style requires talent and is easy to learn and difficult to master.
"About Winter" is included in Qi Qin's fifth album "Winter Rain". Later, they surpassed the title song "Winter Rain" and became Qi Qin's eternal classic. This song is not only graceful and beautiful, but also widely circulated. Whether it is melodious, lyrics, or creative background, "About Winter" is a moving song. This song sings farewell affection, sighs that we will never meet, and expresses the complex mood of reluctant love when we are about to part. The endless separation and confusion in the song, and the endless true feelings of singing make people moved.
In this song, the arrangement of Taiwanese music master Chen Zhiyuan is very good at. He can apply Qi Qin's unique music to a more suitable public acceptance appearance. After being arranged by Chen Zhiyuan, "About Winter" not only retains the singer's original musical flavor, but also has a more approachable appearance. In the late 1980s, the MTV of this song was played repeatedly on TV, and Qi Qin's long hair and tights were deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.
"Winter Rain" album also includes "The Outer World", "Dark Meditation", "Blank", "Maybe It Enough", etc. It is Qi Qin's most successful album in business. The combination of 7 love songs and 3 self-songs is not only taking care of the market but not completely kitsch. During this period, Qi Qin's creation and singing entered a mature stage. He personally organized almost all the songs (only Zhang Bohong, the song "Blank", participated in the lyrics), and his performance was perfect, especially his composition ability was fully demonstrated. There is almost no falsetto used in singing, which should be intentional. The arrangement reduces the rock color, and the large-scale use of the popular saxophone style will undoubtedly broaden the audience.
htmlAround 088, a Qi Qin album "Burning Love" was introduced by the mainland, which added the album "Winter Rain" with "Burning Love" sang with Xie Caiyan . This tape is available at home. I took this lyrics paper to school every day and slowly learned to sing Qi Qin's songs. He is really the enlightener of my pop music! !
