The new album "Psychology" is a sincere awakening work that penetrates into the heart
Before the release in 2014, Xu Jiaying made a "Notice for Missing Persons". After that, she was busy with numerous publicity activities, TV programs and personal tour concerts, and her career also actively explored various types of stage performances and cooperation invitations. Xu Jiaying, who was restless and brave to break through the current situation, chose to fight for another level and different types of performances in 2016, and was invited to participate in the "I am a singer 4" singing contest program. After many times of fighting and extreme challenges, a beautiful and shining turning point, she wrote a new movement for her music life, and the glory and achievements that followed were rapidly progressive. Xu Jiaying's fame was immediately expected to increase. She described her state of mind at that time: "During that period, it was like having a very fantastic dream but approaching the real one, just like riding a roller coaster, constantly spiraling and rolling, sometimes slowly rising and sometimes falling, several times wanting to give up running away, but also trying hard, the dream process was very exciting but also relatively painful." After the strong baptism of this shocking education, The bitter and sweet mixed, cheering mixed with tears, and finally Xu Jiaying won the beautiful battle, which also made her achieve a perfect transfer between the identity of the creator and the performer, and more successfully wrote the versatile image of a musician.
After getting the applause and praise from everyone, what's the next step after reaching the standard in the life competition? Where are the goals for the next phase? Xu Jiaying didn't have an answer, so she didn't hurry to explain. She chose to postpone the creation of mind clearing. "Let your head idle" became her most luxurious enjoyment when she was busy. In the past, music and creation were the things that could heal her most, but once upon a time, they made her afraid and reluctant to move forward. Xu Jiaying kept thinking over and over again. What did music and creation heal her after all? What did she fear? Although she has also sung many popular drama songs, in her mind, a new stage of creation and singing is slowly incubating
The concept of the new album [Psychology] originated
In fact, the most similar thing is that we all live in our own world,
Embracing exclusive problems,
Keep studying and learn from your heart.
2017 is a year for Xu Jiaying to relax and relax. She has hidden a quiet time, delayed her creation and stayed away from music, deliberately cleared her mind, put herself in a petri dish, and observed herself waiting for cultivation. Perhaps there is a restless creative gene floating in the blood, or perhaps she realized that music is the most fundamental healing. Xu Jiaying understood one thing: "If you don't look for the answer in your own heart, you may not know that some parts of yourself are broken or sick." Turning around, Xu Jiaying returned to writing and believed in music, After being thorough, she said, "I want to ask my heart through the process of album production, not to ask whether I am good or not, but the process of this production is a process of forcing my heart to" realize ", and also a process of arousing my" honesty "."
In the face of life and life, there is a complex network of thoughts in our inner world that constantly forces us to think about life problems like love and being loved As the lyrics mentioned: "Each person is sick originally/does not want to self heal anything/just based on what I know/should be honest to the last moment", each person's heart also has a field that allows self indulgence, rehearsing a one-man single act drama, there are happy and wild love, there are also dark scenes of depression, in fact, we are all living in our own world, Force yourself into inner consciousness and arouse awakening. This song was written three years ago. Whenever she was confused or helpless at a low tide, Xu Jiaying would always listen to Psychology repeatedly, and each time she listened to it, she would get a sense of healing. Xu Jiaying also often reconsidered the words according to her mood at that time, and unreservedly poured her thoughts into the words. She said, "This is a song that has been written for three years.". Finally, at the late stage of the album production, Xu Jiaying thought about and revised several times, and handed over this masterpiece that was closest to her mental state. The meaning of Psychology became the core concept throughout the album.
At the beginning of the album production, Xu Jiaying purposely put herself in the role of a listener, and also took herself as an experimental subject. She always listened to and verified every song recorded, like conducting clinical experiments one after another. "I hope those songs that can heal me can also heal everyone's heart." She returned with her new work, and expressed her excitement, At the same time, mixed with caution and anxiety, she said: "[Psychology] is a work of digging into the heart, which is real and profound."
New album [Psychology] album production
Chen Jianqi+Chen Junhao+Starr Chen's "Three Chens" Jinqu lineup is the final and profound work of the year
11 Singles with Heart searching and Real Creation
During the work planning process, Xu Jiaying participated in the whole process from music selection, arrangement, production and mixing, and her strong will ran through the early stage of production to the later stage of planning, demonstrating her autonomy and control over music. [Psychology] The behind the scenes team recruited top musicians Chen Jianqi, Chen Junhao, and Starr Chen, and the "Three Chen" golden music lineup worked together to create Xu Jiaying's music appearance that is different from the past, fresh and unique.
Deep and Extreme --- Return to the familiar Xu Jiaying
Chen Jianqi, the executive producer of Xu Jiaying's album, has cultivated a solid musical understanding since the first album creation cooperation. Based on mutual familiarity and trust, Chen Jianqi can always tap into the delicate emotional details of Xu Jiaying's voice. After being tempered on various stages, Xu Jiaying's singing skills have become more sophisticated. In addition to perfect skills, Chen Jianqi tried to make her sing closer to the creation of "feeling" and "sensibility", focusing on the subtle presentation of "tone" and "expression", just like the first wave of profound hit "insincerity" Whispering out sincere confidences and wishes for loved ones, the release and tolerance of anger and sadness in Remember to Take Away, the entanglement of Man in emotional prison, the growing understanding of innocence loss in Children's Songs, and the unrelenting dedication and release of love in So far. Under the carving of Chen Jianqi, Xu Jiaying, who strives for perfection, also readjusts her singing style and learns how to release her voice. The new work shows Xu Jiaying's mastery of the relationship between emotional interpretation and release, which is more skillful and sincere.
Extreme audacity - breaking up and restructuring the brand new Xu Jiaying
Chen Junhao, a cutting-edge musician who undertook one of the major production tasks, is also an excellent musician and arranger that Xu Jiaying has cooperated with for a long time. After winning the Golden Melody Award for the powerful song "The Day Saver" for the best single production, the two joined hands again and took charge of the production of five new singles. The electronic rock music style gradually brewing from the main single "Grey" in the album leads to the explosive power of Xu Jiaying's hierarchical circulation; Psychology with the smell of Jazz and Soul outlines the struggling thoughts on the verge of collapse; The Big Head, which is spread by R&B and Motown, is full of fun, cheerful and free style; The strange experimental work Patient combines the psychedelic Trip Hop sampling sound, which is highly contrasted with the powerful synthesizer Dance Pop, presenting a morbid, strange and beautiful black humor. Chen Junhao, who is good at mixing rock, electronics and hip-hop elements to create wonders, tried his best to present five amazing singles with different arrangements, fully demonstrating Xu Jiaying's unique musical charm. Another rhythm single, "Why don't you dance now?", for the first time, we invited the talent of dance music production, Starr Chen, to practice. The two were partners for the first time. He is good at controlling the broken shot audio, creating a retro full-bodied Disco Funk music. The smooth and ruffian melody is accompanied by Xu Jiaying's unrestrained and useless singing, which is cool and full of straight soul dance. The album includes two amazing dance songs, which can be called Shenlai masterpiece.
In order to perfectly present the unique music style and sound field of the new 11 pieces of music, Chen Junhao and Huang Wenxuan, the post processing producers of the master tape, meticulously carved and honed the master tape mixing project of the album to Mike Marsh, a British legendary mixer who has worked with famous musicians such as Bj ö rk, Oasis, Massive Attack, Calvin Harris, to create a detailed, full and distinct listening experience for the album.
"I have always felt that the album is a very romantic record, not only for me, but also for the people involved in the recording work. What is important is that it also includes everyone who is willing to listen to you and you. This is the result of our group's deep commitment." Xu Jiaying said, "The most beautiful thing is that when we record, we can also share everything we feel with more people." Under the guidance of three producers with unique styles, [Psychology] includes 11 true singles. The creation originates from the observation of life, the understanding of emotion, the relief of growth, and the thorough understanding of life, The music style is lyric/rock/EDM/Trip Hop/Disco Funk/R&B/J azz Soul to create diversified and rich music styles. The new album [Psychology] shows the characteristics of Xu Jiaying's arrogance and sincerity. It is a work that penetrates into the heart, shares love and faith, and is a concept album that records Xu Jiaying's unconventional transformation.

Xu Jiaying's new pattern of creation+singing fully interprets you and me at this stage
01. insincerity
Ci/Song: Ai Yiliang Song arranger: Chen Jianqi
Xu Jiaying X Ai Yiliang New Generation Female Voice Creation Perfect Cooperation
The producer Chen Jianqi opened the show with a slow and gradual charm, allowing Xu Jiaying to sing the first sentence with a gentle and quiet voice, straight into the most beautiful artistic conception of the whole song. The whole song is outlined in a deep and sincere mood, surrounded by the sound of the blurred synthesizer, and set off the string music of the magnificent instrument, which sets off the extremely simple and meaningful situation of the opening song of the album, "Inconsigent Words".
02. Grey
Words: Haneda/Xie Jinlin/Xu Jiaying Song: Haneda arranger: Cai Zhengxun, Tian Yaxin, Chen Junhao
With poetic words and melodious and warm melodies, this is a moving love song with warm sunshine. The arrangement full of film pattern and grace, the beautiful and majestic orchestra and string orchestra complement each other, and the overflowing emotion is finally released under the creation of electronic rock, just like an epic movie of life, recording that we are struggling to find the most real person in life during the journey, using pure white and dark metaphor, and more skillfully using gray symbol to represent us who finally meet after crossing the twists and turns, It is the most beautiful gray self that can only become after scars and love. Like life, love has to go through hell to get heaven.
03. So far
Ci: Ge Dawei Qu; Xu Jiaying arranges: JackieYu@WhiteMusic
The most unrelenting love song in the album.
Ge Dawei+Xu Jiaying, a gold medal partner, is a new work. The lyrics of the song are straightforward and tell the cruelty and unbearable love. The story tells of the entanglement between the two people due to their inattentive love. The sound line of rock guitar is combined with the force of drumbeats, the powerful momentum of the mighty string music is multiplied, and the undulating and calm main song is then turned up and climbed, giving vent to a sense of fierce pounding. This is a seemingly strong and fragile love song, which deeply depicts the tug of war between hatred and parting when love confronts.
04. Remember to take it away
Ci/Song: Xu Jiaying Choreography: Wen Yizhe
It is the first exposure song of the Japanese Savior Tour Concert.
In the bleak opening, the keys are knocked out with one sound, and the sad timbre slowly flows in. Under the guidance of Xu Jiaying's moving voice, the mood of sadness and anger shifted to the later stage of tolerance and relief. "The loss of life is not an instant but an eternity, but the lost life will eventually take away our love." Xu Jiaying quietly wrote this song for those who failed to shine and quickly flash away. The hidden intentions in the song also hope that they can remember to take away the love we gave, holding the warmth and hope forever.
05. Patient
Words: Yao Ruolong Song: Xu Jiaying Choreography: Huang Shaoyong, Chen Junhao, Dirty Radio
This is the first creative stirring work with master Yao Ruolong. It uses the humor of the roles of doctor, nurse and patient to imply the complicated and difficult problems in love. It is an experimental Trip Hop music style, with a sense of mind wandering and a restless EDM atmosphere. The complex and stacked multi track sound lines, sometimes sweet and sometimes crazy, then humorous and then abnormal, It seems that I am in a kaleidoscope of confusion and confusion. Yao Ruolong's tailored text is full of dramatic and crazy music arrangement, and the song "Patient" thoroughly shows Xu Jiaying's hysterical personality of ancient spirit and spirit.
06. Why not dance now
Words: Ge Dawei/Xu Jiaying Song: Xu Jiaying Choreography: Starr Chen, Lin Xinyan
After the first concert, I asked about the topic dance music! Starr Chen, the producer of dance music talent, practiced it in person, and the unrestrained craziness inspired Xu Jiaying's dynamic appearance. Sampled from the disco and Funk rhythmic elements in the 1970s and 1980s, it has a strong sense of retro times, which makes people can't help dancing along with the melody, and has a good grasp of the swing essence of "why not dance now"!
07. Big Head
Ci/Song: Xu Jiaying Choreography: Xu Jiaying, Chen Junhao
"No matter how big or bad the world is, it's not your turn to be afraid!" This is a song to celebrate the emergence of new life, which seems to be full of joy and positive energy but has profound meaning. With the R&B and Motown retro soul music of the 1980s as the keynote, all instrumental music, drum machines, synthesizers and pianos originated from the collection of the 1980s, truly capturing the retro flavor. Flowing euphemism, light melody and witty lyrics are gifts for children and touching songs for adults.
08. Nursery Rhymes
Ci/Song: Xu Jiaying Choreography: Chen Jianqi, Luo Enni
"Where are you who used to be easy to be happy? Where is a good child who once wanted to grow up quickly?" Do we gradually lose the original essence of innocence in the process of growing up? Chen Jianqi, the producer, plays the piano in person. The simple sound of the piano is accompanied by Shen Wen's melodious string music. Under the guidance of Xu Jiaying's soft voice, he sings the bitterness and regret of growth costs in a low voice, with lingering aftertaste. After learning to sing love songs, we forget a children's song every day... Are we still ourselves? The "Children's Song", which sighs for growth, happens to be followed by the "Big Head", which rejoices in life.
09. People
Words: NIKE/Xu Jiaying Song: Xu Jiaying Song arranger: Dong Yunchang, Luo Enni
This moving love song is composed by guitar poet Dong Yunchang and Lorraine. The warm guitar chords and the low French horn nestled together and collided with the extremely gentle instrumental arrangement, which was like the helplessness and sadness of the trapped people. In the indifferent sad melody, Xu Jiaying's words with a reluctant tone brought out the painful struggle of being trapped in emotion. Such lightness is the heaviest load. It was once interpreted by Meng Huiyuan, a singer, because Xu Jiaying really loved this private creation, and the smell of this song was unexpectedly consistent with the tonality of the new album, so she decided to reinterpret it. This is also the first time that Xu Jiaying has included in her personal album a song she once wrote for others.
10. Psychology
Ci/Song: Xu Jiaying Choreography: Xu Yanpei, Zhang Chaoyu, Chen Junhao, Fang Kuitang
The single of the same name of the album, which took three years of painstaking efforts. Producer Chen Junhao presents his inner contradictions with complex chords and musical instruments. He uses Jazz and Soul elements to try to reproduce the retro sound of City Pop in Japan in the 1980s, and goes to Japan to work as a drummer with Zhikang Kawamura, a famous musician of Konami Lindou and Shinoyuan, and also invites the mixing master, Erlang Watanabe, who is good at this style, to practice mixing. Backed by the sad atmosphere, the delicate and sensitive lyrics vividly reveal the sadness and sadness of love. Xu Jiaying perfectly interprets it with a voice that is almost collapsed and helpless, reaching the deep soul.
Specially included 11. It is the savior of the day
Words: Xu Jiaying Song: Zheng Nan/Xu Jiaying Choreography: Chen Junhao
Only yourself can save you forever!
The opening ceremony was skillfully played with the clock ticking sound and folk guitar, which was a metaphor for the 24-hour unveiling. Xu Jiaying sang in a lazy and idle way that she had no understanding and no sense of the world. The seemingly peaceful but turbulent and hidden out of control frenzy was about to flood. Under the strong creation of Chen Junhao, the producer, the later part of the musical form is carried out in a high manner. Xu Jiaying's unrestrained singing, gorgeous and passionate string music arrangement, which speeds up the emotional ups and downs, has successfully created a realm of intense listening to the interlaced drama of fantasy, fiction and reality. This song was shortlisted for the Best Choreography and Best Single Producer Awards at the 2017 Golden Melody Awards, and won the Best Single Producer Award.
