品 16 #13 2017 年 10 月 对 成长于九零年代的中国人来说，张信哲这个名字可谓家 喻户晓，《做你的男人》、《不要告诉他》等经典情歌 几乎成为各地 KTV包厢里的必点曲目。三十年来，被誉为“情 歌王子”的张信哲发行专辑无数，红遍大江南北，跻身娱乐界 巨星之列。 他称：“生活当中，我当然不是王子，而且应该也不是当 王子的料。但音乐上，我希望可以让大家感受到一个有王者风 范的音乐形象。” 2017年对张信哲而言节奏较缓，目前为止唯一一场演唱 会于七月在澳门永利皇宫举行。这让他得以重游澳门一一这座 城市的独特元素对他有着源源不断的吸引力。 “我对澳门的印象是新旧融合、兼容并蓄。新在于其酒店 和游乐设施、歌舞表演、豪华商场等等，但我更喜欢的是，澳 门还保有很多原来的殖民地色彩和中国传统文化。因此每次来 澳门，我都可以找到有新意的地方，不会乏味。” 张信哲今年的工作重点在于新专辑的录制，目前已有三 首新歌在线上发行，分别为《好好爱个女孩》、《迁徙》和 《说》。《好好爱个女孩》是带有民谣风味的情歌，《迁徙》 是带有英式摇滚风格的抒情摇滚歌曲，而《说》则糅合了电子 音乐和古典弦乐，旨在让大家听到完全不同的音乐类型，呈现 他对于情歌不同的诠释方式及想法。 C hinese who grew up in the 1990s will be familiar with Taiwanese singer Jeff Chang’s songs, with favorites such as “Be your man” and “Don’t tell him” inevitably sung by amateurs and fans in KTVs right across the country. Known as the “Prince of love songs,” Chang released numerous albums now considered classics over the course of three decades – rocketing him to the realm of a megastar in the entertainment world. “In daily life, I never consider myself a ‘prince’ and I am clearly not prince material, but musically I hope I can convey the image of a majestic performer,” he tells High Life . It hasn’t been a particularly busy year for Chang in 2017 with his only concert so far held in July at Macau’s Wynn Palace. But it did give him time to revisit a city whose unique elements continue to fascinate him. “My impression of Macau is that you can see the old and the new side by side,” he observes. “The new is its hotels, entertainment facilities and shows, as well as luxurious shopping malls, but what I like about the place is its colonial flair and traditional Chinese culture. Every time I come I always discover new places to enjoymyself. It is never boring here.”
