#VOGUE➕张艺兴 “我喜欢音乐,喜欢创作,也希望有更多中国音乐人的声音在世界上更多更大的舞台上一起传播——我们不是竞争者,而是同行者。中国有五千多年的历史,十四亿人口,我们的声音和文化,值得被更多人听到。”张艺兴跟我们这样说道。作为他 2021 年的专辑《East》的延续,他的愿景正通过他的五首曲目专辑《West》来实现。和他本人一样,这张新专辑《West》把听众引入了西行之旅,带着中国传统乐器探索世界上最神秘的角落。 As he releases his five-track album, "West", as a follow-up to his 2021 album, "East", our December Issue VOGUE+ Guest Editor is intentional about celebrating his roots. "Incorporating my culture in my music is hugely important to me - my culture, my heritage is who I am," Zhang (@layzhang) tells VOGUE+. "I am Chinese first before I'm an artist, so I want to be able showcase beautiful elements of my culture. I'd like to hope that it inspires others to do the same." "West" takes listeners on a westward adventure, carrying traditional Chinese instrumentals on a exploration of the world's most mysterious corners.
