China News Service, Beijing, September 29 (Reporter Wang Shiyao) Some people say that she is a soul singer, and some people call her an R&B queen, while Yuan Yawei said that she does not want to be defined by labels, because "Yuan Yawei is a label."

In the ten years since her debut, she has continued to seek innovations in music, "My music is changing, but my personality has not changed.

Debut ten years

Thank you for your love and determination

　　In 2012, Yuan Yawei participated in the talent show "The Voice of China" and became the top four in the Liu Huan group, and she made her debut as a singer.

This year marks the tenth anniversary of her debut, and this interview is Yuan Yawei's promotion for her upcoming tenth anniversary album.

Yuan Yawei, who had already been interviewed all afternoon, was asked by reporters whether she was tired of talking or singing, and she chose to be tired of talking without hesitation.

But when she mentioned her teacher Liu Huan, she was exhausted and her eyes lit up.

　　"There is a song in this album called "Mongolian Girl", which was created by my teacher (referring to Liu Huan), and it is an old song he wrote more than 30 years ago. I think it is very beautiful, and I want to continue it because I I want to inherit my teacher's work and let more young people hear it. I think this is a tribute to him."

　　According to Yuan Yawei, "Mongolian Girl" is actually a courtship song, telling a love story when her teacher was pursuing his wife.

She hopes to let everyone know that Mr. Liu Huan is such a romantic person through her singing.

　　In addition to paying tribute to the teacher, Yuan Yawei also prepared a song for fans in the new album, telling them her "whispers"; in addition, she also gave herself a song to share her insights over the past ten years.

　　Yuan Yawei has never regretted giving the best ten years of her life to music, but she has only gratitude in her heart.

If you want to choose a person to thank the most, "thank you for your love and firmness, because if you thank others, you won't be too grateful."

　　Along the way, I have seen flowers and flowers and encountered thorns and bumps. Yuan Yawei lamented that it is not easy for everyone, and she is only one of them.

"But don't make it so scary that it's not easy to think. It's not easy to make us stronger and stronger. If people grow up in good times, I think it's quite sad. If we can become stronger in adversity, I think that's what life gives you more meaning."

misunderstandings are common

Do not give up expression because of love

　　Since the first album, Yuan Yawei has been a singer and a creator. How to switch between the two identities freely, she has her own way to deal with it.

　　As a singer, as long as she adjusts her state and sings well, she doesn't need to worry too much about other things.

But when she is a creator or producer, she often spends twice as long to do this. Although it consumes a lot of money, she takes responsibility for her own choice.

In her opinion, her ultimate appeal is good works, and all other issues can be ignored.

　　"The reason I feel comfortable being a producer is that I don't have to worry that the ideas that I end up coming out are not the same as mine. As a singer-songwriter, it's important for you to express yourself, but how you express this process needs to be studied. Yes. I've probably been exploring and experiencing this for the past ten years."

　　Every completed work contains the attitude that Yuan Yawei hopes to express.

Some may be her deeper self-expression, some may be her expressing for others, and some may be passive expression, but more are her active expression.

"The content I want to express is changing at each stage, but the attitude I express has never changed. I just hope to do the best for each work, be delicate and not perfunctory."

　　However, being misunderstood is the fate of the expressor, and Yuan Yawei does not shy away from this issue.

She believes that the outside world has never stopped misunderstandings about her, but these misunderstandings are reasonable, because no one is liked by everyone.

　　"Although each of us is different in life, we will definitely encounter many voices of denial and will not be understood. Do you give up if you have these voices that are not understood? If you really give up, it proves that you are not enough. Love." Yuan Yawei said, "I think I should live a little more beautifully, be a little more comfortable, and be a little more confident."

I am the label

Music changes, but I don't change

　　The first thing to do in the morning every day is to listen to music, which has become an unstoppable habit in Yuan Yawei's daily life.

It can be said that music is her life, so she does not need to go to great lengths to find inspiration, because making music has never been a crammed thing.

In her opinion, the best state is to go with the flow.

　　At the end of 2017, the movie "Predecessor 3: Goodbye to the Predecessor" was released, and the theme song "Say Dispersion", which was covered by Yuan Yawei, became popular all over the country for a while.

Is there any regret that the cover song is more widely known than the original song?

Yuan Yawei's answer is that she has no regrets, "Because that (cover) was also sung by me, as a singer, I can sing in everyone's heart, whether it's a cover or an original, I think it's my achievement and my harvest. ."

　　Although the expectations of the public and fans may be different from their own music pursuits, Yuan Yawei still believes that letting nature is the best way.

In her opinion, there is no need to measure music by the masses and niches. Music is music, and it is natural to like and dislike it.

　　She cares about feedback from people who really like music, and she can accept either praise or denial.

As long as she listened to her music and felt the real feelings from it, Yuan Yawei would be happy to listen.

And she also draws energy from all kinds of feedback, feels love from understanding, and learns to be firm from criticism.

　　Over the years, Yuan Yawei's music has continued to innovate, because she doesn't want to be framed in a certain qualifier, Jazz, R&B, Soul, Hip-Hop and other genres can be heard in her music.

She doesn't want to be labeled with a tangible label, and she's not afraid of the public's vague positioning of her music, because "Yuan Yawei is the label", one sentence can reveal her confidence.

　　"My music is changing, but my personality hasn't changed. That's why it's changing with the same thing." Yuan Yawei said firmly.
