News: Anson Hu challenges the Classics; [One Night in Shanghai] is fresh out of oven

September 1st, 2011 - The talented Anson Hu Yan Bin makes a strong return from studies in U.S., signs with new company Yua Hua Entertainment 樂華娛樂, and quickly launches new album's first single <LIFE>, which tops music charts and gains praises from fans. The known "R&B Prince," now grows to a more comprehensive and "quality-sense" type of musician, who domineeringly returns with new music and is competent to shock the Chinese music industry.

Although he had been away from home since his first debut, Anson is a native of Shanghai; however, he remains feeling puzzled about his own land of birth. So then, the song <One Night in Shanghai> was born. With lyrics written by screenwriter Ning Caishen 寧財神, and music composition by Anson himself, there are playful, but realistic lyrics with a strong electronic melody. <One Night in Shanghai> from the North now sparks a cultural challenge with the classic song <One Night in Beijing> from the South. To compare styles, one has the rhythm of electronic music and the other of passion of Rock 'n' Roll. Similarly, Anson integrated Beijing dialect with Beijing opera aria, hence people are quick to think that with Anson's new single <One Night in Shanghai>, he is challenging the classics.

<One Night in Shanghai> describes a fascinating night in Shanghai with a dejected story of an ignorant teenager. As a representative of the 80s generation, Anson Hu uses playful language in song to encourage teenagers to become a true "strong pillar." The song also focuses on the attitude of the 80s generation toward life: night life has now become the mainstream leisure for many teenagers. Anson Hu does not hold critical views about this, but believes that one's life significance should not be limited to this.
