Seasons in the song:"spring" from Wu Hongfei&Happy Avenue
Founded in 1999 , Happy Avenue is a Chinese rock band based in Beijing. In March 2008, they released their 3rd album “Rouge” (胭脂,Chinese Pinyin:Yanzhi) .
It is said that Happy Avenue has been changed from their first album. The new album described as alternative rock with folk element(and some Electrionic).
Facts:
1999: Happy Avenue is formed
2004: release of album “When the fish loves Xiaolong(小龙房间里的鱼)”
2005: release of album“Happy Avenue”
2008: release of album “Rouge” (Yanzhi)
Band members:
Vocal: Wu Hongfei
Guitarist: Zhang Zheng
Bassist: Li Qiang
Drummer: Tian Kun
Keyboardist: Liu Lei
Harmony: Yanzi
Wu Hongfei(吴虹飞), Happy Avenue(幸福大街乐队)'s vocalist and leader, is a graduate of Beijing's prestigious Tsinghua University, with bachelor's degrees in environmental engineering and the editing of scientific books, and an M.A. degree in modern Chinese literature. Also the group's only female member, she has the distinction of being China's best known female rock singer.
originally from the southern Chinese province of Guangxi and a member of the Dong ethnic minority(桐族), Wu is now a magazine journalist and a published novelist.
Wu has written about her experiences with Happy Avenue in her semi-autobiographical novel The Double Life of Afei(阿飞的双重生活), which was published in 2003.
Her early lyrics range from lighthearted, absurdity vignettes to darker and more melancholy meditations on subjects such as death, alienation, and longing. The song “Daughter” deals with the issues surrounding unwed motherhood; “The Fish Who Loved Xiaolong” tells the story of a mermaid who gives up her tail in order that she might be able to leave the sea and marry a human.
While, the new album “Rouge”(Yanzhi) signify a change of music style of the band. The melodies are catchy, with Wu's pentatonic vocal melodies showing the influence of Chinese folk singing, leading the band to be described by some as a folk rock act.
“Rouge”(Yanzhi)is about the unheard love stories in south of China, which records the unforgettable emotions in youth hood such as timidity, enthusiasm and melancholy. Wu’s singing expresses the fears that we have: the loss of time and that we cannot return to the past.
The album “Yanzhi” comes with a booklet written by Wu and an album of drawings of her friend RORO.
Spring is the last song of the album"Yanzhi",with the folk and electronic style,like a fresh air come to you life.listening this,and enjoy this.
Happy every day in the next Spring.
