胡彥斌胡彥斌親筆信

做了十年音樂的我，知道怎麼樣玩音樂能讓自己玩得更HIGH，就像男人總是最了解自己該怎麼來才最爽。當然，我知道你喜歡什麼！作為一個有十幾年經驗的專業音樂工作者，你必須要知道別人的需求吧，男人要經驗老道點好。

　　不信？那讓我來試一試，我們來打個賭：如果公司老板來找我，要增加公司業績，我就寫幾首灑狗血的口水歌，讓大家K一K。做商業化音樂，首首都送進KTV排行榜。今天我做得到，以後更不再話下。因為我知道你們喜歡什麼，有市場敏銳的觀察力和會寫命題作文這是必須的。當然做什麼音樂還要看我當時心情如何？我做了上半張的唱片，送給喜歡那個我的你們，這樣夠不夠。

　　那下半張專輯留給我自己吧：如果我要裝清高，我就寫些你一耳朵聽不明白的，這叫文藝，並貼上僅供欣賞的標簽，當然我不會這麼做。我願意的還是做最真實的自己，玩我喜歡的搖滾、電子。在自己的音樂世界裏不停地推翻自己、折騰自己，直到這首歌的每一秒讓我的心都跟著在跳。

　　我喜歡一個人創作，然後完成後和一堆人分享。往往在第一時間很多朋友和家人聽不到，因為誕生的時間多半在半夜。我最喜歡的監聽音響之一是我車上的喇叭，不管幾點，我都會開著我的車放著剛出爐的歌，在上海的高架或者北京的環線上遊個車河，

獨自一人享受這屬於我自己的音樂和這座城市的氣息。當我最終把整張專輯完成時，我把你們喜歡的我，和我喜歡的自己都放在你面前，我坦然了。

胡彥斌

搖滾大一號 夢想大一號
搖滾 VS 抒情
胡彥斌 音樂天生 大一號

胡彥斌 2012最新專輯 《大一號》

搖滾是胡彥斌目前最愛的音樂表達方式和態度。

胡彥斌2012年全新個人專輯搖滾部分全部是與樂隊在錄音室磨煉而成，他為不同的樂器都尋找最適合的錄音師+錄音室組合來確保錄到最佳音效，探遍北京、上海北京兩地的樂手。在錄音棚裡每位樂手都用手中的樂器為音樂增添了豐厚度，也只有樂手之間所激發出的比拼欲望，才將最終出現的音樂能量等級推升到最高。

首波抒情主打“愛情是怎麼了”
是一首關於她眼中的他的情歌。胡彥斌用女性的第一人稱視角來檢視愛情中女人的困擾和迷思。

首波搖滾主打“劫後餘生”，
歌詞所展現的男人勇敢擔當愛情的態度，自然催生出更大能量等級的胡彥斌音樂表達。脫離小情小調的情歌描摹態度，“劫後餘生”卻是大筆揮灑，歌詞中不乏類似“那又怎樣”、“去吧這無妨”這樣男人味十足的態度呈現。用最男人的態度，告訴你他眼中男人的擔當！


搖滾的胡彥斌讓人震撼，抒情的胡彥斌讓人感動。
2012，給你double加大量的大一號音樂享受。

搖滾是胡彥斌目前最愛的音樂表達方式和態度。用吉他創作成為他新的靈感來源。吉他可以表現灑脫，而鋼琴卻相對較難；鋼琴人人都愛，吉他卻不是誰都能夠捧得起來。換一種樂器來寫歌，帶來的是完全不同的作品風格。你們都愛那個唱男人歌的他，但唱男人歌的他心裡有一首搖滾情歌。

胡彥斌2012年全新個人專輯搖滾部分全部是與樂隊在錄音室磨煉而成，他為不同的樂器都尋找最適合的錄音師+錄音室組合來確保錄到最佳音效，探遍北京、上海北京兩地的樂手。在錄音棚裡每位樂手都用手中的樂器為音樂增添了豐厚度，也只有樂手之間所激發出的比拼欲望，才將最終出現的音樂能量等級推升到最高。

專輯中有五首歌，是長期蘊藏在胡彥斌音樂中搖滾的靈魂。
首波搖滾主打“劫後餘生”，歌詞所展現的男人勇敢擔當愛情的態度，自然催生出更大能量等級的胡彥斌音樂表達。脫離小情小調的情歌描摹態度，“劫後餘生”卻是大筆揮灑，歌詞中不乏類似“那又怎樣”、“去吧這無妨”這樣男人味十足的態度呈現。用最男人的態度，告訴你他眼中男人的擔當！當所有人聽到這首“劫後餘生”時，都訝異於這是那個將“男人歌”、“紅顏”的愛欲情殤唱得深情款款、妥帖細膩的胡彥斌麼？激情迸發的搖滾嗓音，讓人一下子不能將其和胡彥斌做直接的聯想，胡彥斌在新專輯中唱法的重大變化，讓人有了更多的期待。從“劫後餘生”的音樂呈現看，胡彥斌完全擔當了一支搖滾樂隊的主音歌手！

這張專輯不僅有突破，更有延續。
首波抒情主打“愛情是怎麼了”是一首關於她眼中的他的情歌。胡彥斌用女性的第一人稱視角來檢視愛情中女人的困擾和迷思。專輯收歌時，意外在胡彥斌的電腦裡發現這首寫完但卻沒有想要送出的歌。也許凝視愛情的女人是失焦的，回眸自己過往感情的男人也遲遲不能著手，胡彥斌最後選擇了把這首歌託付給新加坡著名編曲人吳慶隆老師來處理拿捏。慶隆老師為了編配好這首胡彥斌的瀝心之作，也是盡施其所長，用鋼琴、吉他和絃樂密密鋪墊出整首歌曲的氛圍，最後交出的版本讓胡彥斌直接就進入了他當時寫作的狀態，將這首珍藏三年未曾寄送出去的歌終於化成了作品。


搖滾的胡彥斌讓人震撼，抒情的胡彥斌讓人感動。
2012，給你double加大量的大一號音樂享受。

新專輯轉型 首波力推雙主打搖滾單曲

從首波雙主打搖滾力作《劫後餘生》和愛情金曲《愛情是怎麼了》的分別推送開始，《大一號》專輯就包含了兩個不同的胡彥斌在其中。選擇你喜歡的胡彥斌，還是去愛胡彥斌喜歡的他？這讓所有熟悉胡彥斌的人面臨一個有趣的選擇。

專輯的封面暗含了大一號這叁個字在其中，而封面中的胡彥斌也像那個“號”一樣，如老虎般嘶吼出搖滾的最強音。而胡彥斌的搖滾音樂也會像“一”那樣給他如虎添翼。

Album name and cover explained:

The cover writes '大一號':
The black brush stroke across the cover writes the Chinese character '一,' and with Anson standing with legs wide apart, he makes '人.' Added together they write the character '大.' Behind Anson, there is the Chinese character "號."

The first meaning of '大一號':
'大一號' translated to English literally means 'one size bigger,' or 'a little bigger.' Anson explains that his official band name is 'GROW' (his band consists of 3 other members); dreams need to get bigger, music needs to be louder, and everything needs to grow in size. To reflect this, Anson's new outfit and make up has been largely exaggerated.

The second meaning of '大一號':
Simplified Chinese is the official written language in Mainland China. The album name, and especially the word '號,' is released in Traditional form with a purpose. Taking apart the word '號,' we have '号' and '虎.'  '号' is the simplified Chinese character of '號.' '虎' in pinyin is 'hǔ,' which is the pronunciation of Anson's surname, and it translates to 'tiger' in English.

Taking the pinyin of '大一號,' we have 'dà yī hào' which also sounds like '大一吼' meaning 'loudly screaming.' Which animal loudly screams? Tigers, lions.....and remember who's the tiger, Anson! Look at his album cover, doesn't he look like he's screaming his quality music at you? ;)

'GROW' has another meaning other than producing an obnoxious sound:

 "Growing" in size is to emphasize the enlargement of dreams and quality,

being 'One size bigger' isn't a natural born quality, it's a process of "growth," 

says Tiger Anson. ;) 

-- From: PDF released by chenjiong "Hu Yanbin Da Yi Hao Album Document"

Seriously, how much creativity and how many meanings can you put into an album cover? Anson certainly has that all covered. :)

New English name: Tiger Hu

With the release of his 8th album, he announced preference for a new English name, Tiger. He is now known as Anson Hu, Tiger Hu, and Tiger Anson Hu. Read more about it here. 

Anson's letter released by the media:

As someone who has done a decade of music, I know how to play with music to make myself even more HIGH, just like how men always know what they want best. Of course, I know what you all like! As a professional musician, we need to know what others want, and men always want to work with that experience.

You don't believe me? Give me a try, let's make a bet: If the record company hired me to increase the performance of the company, I would write a couple of these "saliva songs (popular songs that have a simple rhythm and are easy to sing to), " so people can sing along to. To do commercialized music, every song will top the music charts. I can do it today, it won't be worth mentioning in the future. Because I know what you like, having keen observations of the music market and the ability to write life compositions is a must-have. Of course, to make music is also dependent on my current mood. The songs from the first half of my album is dedicated to you, it's the "me" that you all like.

The second half of the album is left for myself: If I want to play it the classy way, I can write music that you won't understand, that's what you call art, and with a "only for appreciation" label on it. Of course I wouldn't do that. My wish is to be my true self, to play with rock, and electronic music. I want to be in a world of music that I can constantly overthrow myself, and to make myself suffer until the song makes my heart beat with it.

I like to compose by myself, and then share it with a bunch of people when I am done. Often enough, my friends and family won't hear at first instance because most of my productions are finished during the night. One of my favourite speakers are my car's speakers. It doesn't matter what time, I can always blast my new productions at Shanghai's highways, or Beijing's circle lanes, and as one person I can enjoy my own music with the city's atmosphere. Finally, when I completed this album, I put the "me" that you all like, and the "me" that I like in front of you, I'm at ease.

-- From Hinews,cn "Anson Hu's new album exposed, with his personal letter" 

Introduction:

Anson Hu's 2012 new album "大一號" is DOUBLE the size with double leading tracks:

Anson's ballad lead track "愛情是怎麼了" is a song written from a female's perspective: when you're in love, you need to give attention and care to the girl who loves you.

And his other rock lead track, "劫後餘生" takes the guitar as his source of inspiration. Everyone loved Anson's "男人KTV (Men's Karaoke)", but there's also another rocker-style in his heart that you didn't know about.

YesAsia Editorial Description:

Anson Hu is One Size Bigger in rocker mode! Connecting with his muse via the guitar, the all-round singer-songwriter has assembled a band of top musicians from Shanghai and Beijing in the recording studio to ensure that every instrument is best represented on his latest album. The main plug "What's up with Love" (Track 1) is a beautiful ballad about the complex feelings of a woman in love, written by Anson from a female perspective. On the contrary, the other main plug "Surviving the Disaster" (Track 9) is a powerful rock number showcasing in broad strokes men's unflinching attitude in front of responsibilities. The 12-track album also includes Anson's electronic-dance remake of Alan Tam's 80s hit "Karaoke Forever" (Track 3).

Song notes:

1. Anson especially wrote the songs "江湖再見" and "我以為" for the Mainland ancient-comedy series as the theme and sub song for 龍門鏢局. Ning Caishen 寧財神 is Anson's good friend and is the script writer for the series. They collaborated together for 3 songs in Anson's last album, Who Cares?, and it was Ning Caishen's first time writing lyrics.

2. "卡啦永遠OK" is a Mandarin cover for the original Cantonese song sang by Alan Tam 譚詠麟.

3. "心的未来" is a theme song composed for [ 11th Annual Beijing International Auto Show Green Show 第十一届北京國際車展 ]. He first composed and first performed it in 2010, but the song was never official recorded until this present album.

4. "三十而立" is a song Anson especially wrote for himself as a birthday present. The single was first released on his birthday (July 4th, 2012). He wanted to challenge himself and to compose a song entirely of his own efforts. Singing, lyrics, composition, arrangement, production, recording, mixing, and recording studio are all under his name.
