Introduction:

WHO CARES what music is; the streets are playing "trendy music."
WHO CARES what life is; the people are lost in their nine-to-fives.
WHO CARES what love is; you and I are staged in plot that will pass. 
WHO CARES what responsibility is; those born after 80s should think more?

When you stretch out your hands, and think you're all cool and say: "Who Cares?"
Anson Hu will strike back with his new album and with all attitude: "Yes, Hu Cares!!!"
To use playful words but sharp like needles, to use a wild tone to speak out;
Those born after 80s are the mainstay of the society, so let the world hear our attitude!

At 18 to release an album in Asia, at 22 to achieve Best Male Award; 10 years since debut, Anson Hu has released 6 albums, and although the number is small, quality music has always been maintained. Since [ 文武雙全 Civil And Military Skills ] to [ 失業情歌 Music Life ], he swept major awards in Asia, including best male singer-songwriter, best album, best composer, best producer, best song of all kinds to achieve the King of Mainland-China music status. From a dream of a music boy to the transformation of man, and then to lead the wave of Chinese music. 

Entering 10 years, how is Anson's musical road going to be like? When all the music industries are riding waves with commercialization, Anson would be the one left on land to pick up seashells; he would face the ocean of music, and find the driving force behind this music. As a composer, Anson Hu received numerous composition invitations: "Give me a lead single," "Give me a song that can make money." The music industries will be tumbling in waves, taking the beads like trafficking of goods, and then packaging them like pearls to promote. This type of story causes real musicians to be filled with sadness and pain.

In 2011, Anson Hu's new personal album [ Who Cares? ] attacks the problem within the music industries by using his own music to make a response. Ten new compositions are meant to break the usual music practice, and to impact your eardrums. "Who cares" as a album name is to show Anson Hu's musical attitude, which is not cynical, not pro-music market, but real music to impress you. "Who cares," actually, "Hu" really "cares" about quality music and the expression of music content. 


YesAsia Editorial Description

Anson Hu returns after two years with his new album "Who Cares." Once the teen wunderkind of Mando-pop, the singer-songwriter is now entering his tenth year in the music industry, and what he cares about still is the music. Anson declares his determination towards music and creativity with ten new self-composed songs. For the album's first plug, Anson challenges himself with something new, his first complete rap number Life. Second plug "10,000 Light Years" is a touching, piano-accompanied R&B love song, more what Anson is known for. You can also hear how Anson has grown musically in the past ten years with songs like "Women Shouldn't Make Men Cry" and the electro-rock "One Night in Shanghai".
