张韶涵(听歌)(Angela)的新专辑完全显现她在演艺圈的好人缘,周杰伦、方文山(blog)、蔡健雅(听歌)、范玮琪(听歌)、林隆璇(听歌)、阿弟(听歌)仔(听歌)、王雅君、韦礼安等多位音乐强将都跨刀创作,周董为她量身打造的《亲爱的,那不是爱情》,难得让Angela挑战中低音域唱腔,这也是她在新专辑中最喜欢的歌曲。
经历拍《公主小妹》被导演痛骂到失控发飙,张韶涵原以为录制新专辑回到强项歌唱领域,没想到录新歌《失忆》、《亲爱的,那不是爱情》触发太多回忆唱到痛哭掉泪,拥有超高音域的Angela坦言:“韦礼安写的《重来》真的很难唱,之前没唱过3拍的歌,很不熟。”
张韶涵表示,拍完《公主小妹》及经历这趟巡回演唱,心境上产生很大变化,她笑说也加入了周董的“诚实运动”,但她指的是“诚实面对自己和别人”,她说:“我现在比较会讲出内心的想法,整个人比较放松,之前个性很ㄍㄧㄥ(意即硬撑,不知怎样表达),给自己太大压力,常因为工作表现习惯性失眠,最近大概3秒钟就能入睡啰。” (俐俐/文)
Angela’s latest album reveals her close relationship with many other talented artists such as Jay Chou, Fan Wei Qi, 方文山, 蔡健雅, 林隆璇, 阿弟, 仔, 王雅君、韦礼安 [okay, I don’t know these names, Judy, Help!!] have all contributed songs to the album as a sign of their regard for her. Angela’s favourite song is ‘Darling, this is not love’ written for her by Jay Chou. It is a difficult song to sing as Angela has to sing in the low key? [think it’s becos her voice is naturally high].
After her experience of being scolded by the director in the drama‘Romantic Princess’and losing her cool, Angela thought that she could return to the safety of her strong singing talents. She did not expect that when recording the songs ‘失忆’and ‘Darling, this is not love’, she would be so affected by memories that she cried. Angela who has a naturally high pitched voice said, ‘韦礼安’s song ‘重来’is very difficult to sing as I have never sung this type of ‘3拍的歌’song before.’
Angela revealed that after the experience of filming ‘Romantic princess’ and singing this album, she has undergone some psychological changes. She laughed and said that she has now joined 周董’s honesty movement. But she says this refers to the fact that she now faces other people and herself with honesty. She says, ‘Nowadays, I am more likely to say what I really feel inside as I feel more relaxed as a person. In the past, I was very reserved and didn’t know how to express myself. I put a lot of pressure on myself and lost sleep regularly, worrying over my performance at work. Nowadays, I fall asleep in 3 seconds.’

信报讯(记者唐雪薇)张韶涵第五张最新专辑《Ang 5.0》12月14日将在全亚洲同步发行,张韶涵化身女战神,披上2公斤重的“塑钢马甲”。
最新专辑《Ang 5.0》一共收录了10首好歌,张韶涵也首次尝试少见的中低音域唱腔。
昨日新专辑封面也首次曝光,将张韶涵打造成“力与美的女战神”,为她披上量身定做、重达2公斤的塑钢马甲装,希望让张韶涵在第五张专辑《Ang 5.0》中的各方面表现更具新意、活力与魅力。
Angela’s 5th album ‘Ang 5.0’ will be released on 14 Dec across Asia. For this album, she transformed herself into a female warrior and wore a 2kg steel breastplate.
Her latest album contains 10 good songs and this is the first time Angela is singing in the mid to low pitch range.
Yesterday, the new album cover was publicized; it shows Angela dressed as a strong and beautiful female warrior. She wears a specially made figure hugging 2kg steel breastplate. Hopefully Angela will appear in all ways more energetic/vibrant, attractive and original in this new album (whether it’s in the new look or songs, I assume.)
