Songwriter Bang Shi-hyuk Produces Wang Lee Hom's Album
Famous Korean songwriter Bang Shi-hyuk has produced the new album of top Taiwanese star Wang Lee Hom (featured in photo). Bang is a songwriter/producer who became the first Korean musician to have a song top the Billboard chart, which occurred in August. The song, entitled "The Love You Need," was co-written by Bang and Park Jin-young for the hip-hop artist Mase. In Korea, Bang has produced albums for Rain, G.O.D., Park Ji-yun, Noeul and Five, among others.
Wang, whose new album includes Bang's songs, is a top-rated singer, songwriter, and producer who has sold over 10 million copies of his album in Asia alone. He has also become popular in Korea after he appeared on MTV Buzz Asia, which was held in Korea last year, and performed with such Korean artists as Na Mi-ae, F4 and BoA.
Bang and Wang released the new album together at the request of a Japanese corporation that is looking to establish a presence in China with the help of the Korean entertainment industry known in Asia as “hallyu.” The corporation is currently preparing a massive promotion campaign in China in cooperation with Korean showbiz gurus such as Bang Shi-hyuk and Cho Jin-mo. After completing his project with Wang, Bang is scheduled to produce albums for other artists in the Chinese-speaking region, including Niwels, Han Sel, Ka Yu-ryun and Jin Kang.
I appreciate all the discussion over the past few days about my album,"心中的日月 ". 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 thatI believe in and sharing them with the world is my greatest joy and Ifeel blessed to be able to do what I love. That to me, is where allthe success is. If I win awards, if my album sells well, that's justa bonus.
I know my supporters feel strongly about this album, and so do I. ButI don't care if it doesn't win an award, so please don't feel bad! Infact many of the most important musical works in history werecritically 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 myselfare devoting our lives to: the best music we can make. If you'drather hear music that is more "輕鬆", there's plenty out there! But I believe that our music is our culture, and someday soon thewhole world will listen to Chinese pop music, and thru it, understandmore about Chinese people. I hope my positive energy spreads to youall as well. Don't be angry, it's not worth it!
Love, peace and music, 王力宏
