The urban female of the 80's is independant [independent], but at the same time vulnerable, strong-minded but feminine, sensible but very emotional. City Rhythm characterizes this special calibre of today's woman by exploring the complexity of her feelings, the ways she escapes from solitude, the sweetness and the bitterness of her romance, and the continuous struggle with emotions.
CITY LIVING IN CITY RHYTHM
The music and the lyrics of this album, contemporary and sensitive, capture the unique and powerful energy of this modern individual. This energy generates a magnitude of colour, sound and sensation caught within a beat, a groove we called City Rhythm.
今日城巿的女性,個性立而帶柔弱,堅強而帶溫婉,處事雖然理智,但也少不免間中感情用事。
她如何擺脫這份矛盾?如何維持剛柔的平衡?如何承受戀情帶來的苦樂?如何平伏內心的爭鬥?
一切一切,也就是這張唱片著意刻劃的城巿女性感受。城巿人的觸覺、現代感的音樂、觸覺尖銳的歌詞,打開了充滿色彩的城巿心竅,而那心靈正跳動著一股迷人的城巿節奏,亦即是這張唱片的主題──CITY RHYTHM。
She loved, she laughed, she cried, but she carries on... At times, when love seems unbearable, she retreats to a space of her own. She escapes through her music and in the arts, seeking harmony and balance but never totally succeed. Yet, soon enough, the energy of the city will pick her up again and move her on. A new day will begin with the same vitality as the day before. City Rhythm has never been as strong!
她愛過、笑過、哭過,仍然堅強的站起來......
偶爾會一個人寄情於自己的音樂與藝術中,避開俗世的瘋狂荒誕,塵緣的糾纏紛擾,尋找片刻的和諧。
然而,城巿的動力令她再次活躍過來,新的一天充滿了生命力,城巿節奏令一切變得更加強烈!
People moving with speed, direction, and conviction; every face is an individual, and every presence has a purpose.
Each encounter is an experience... from a casual smile on the streets, a friendly grin around the corner, to the power lunches which prove to be anything but casual nor friendly. City living intrigues the mind and the senses.
大都巿內人來人往,各有各的方向,各有各的目標,每個人都為自己的理想生存,人與人的接觸,帶來各式各樣的生活體驗 : 他一分鐘前臉上仍掛著友善的笑容,向人點頭招呼,轉眼卻在生意桌上將自己武裝起來,戴上另一副面孔。快速的城巿生活觸動每個人的心靈,每一刻都變化不定,難以捉摸。
Music blends with the other audio sensation that a busy city naturally provide, creating a unique fusion of rock, jazz, classical... with the richly textural sound of passing automobiles, siren, and angry pedestrians... all of which makes City Living a bit more interesting, and City Rhythm very much alive!
音樂結合了大都巿繁盛世所帶來的感覺,混和各種不同音樂的特質與人車交集的忙亂巿聲──這種種元素豐富了城巿生活,進一步加速了城巿節奏。
Hi! City Rhythm has finally been completed and had reached your hands. This album is very spcial to me for many reasons. For one, the amount of creative talents involved in materializing what was originally an idea or two into what you now see and hear, is phenominal [phenomenal]! These highly creative people are definitely among the bes in town. Too many to name but I thank everyone of them for their tremendous effort. However, I must specially thank Richard, Thomas, Poon, and Ip for their remarkable spirit in writing, revising, and working their lyrics until they fit so perfectly with the songs and with the theme of this album.
Secondly, for the album jacket and this booklet, I have a chance to experience New York in a unique way. During the photo shoots, I felt like a part of this fascinating city, in tune with her every mood and feeling. I hope you can share this with me in the photographs.
Another reason that City Rhythm is special for me is working with my producer. He is a man blessed with many gifts, namely an extraordinarily musical mind and a very gentle and wonderful heart! Thanks, Anthony! I sincerely hope City Rhythm will become special to you, too!
各位朋友,你好!City Rhythm終於完成,而現在已交到你的手上了。或者不用我多說,大家已經知道這張唱片對我來說是非常特別的。
由意念至成果的過程中,多位幕後和創作人員的功勞是不可抹煞的。人數頗多,恕不能盡錄。但我衷心相信由創作到設計,音樂到混音,每一位都是香港頂尖兒的人物!特別要鳴謝的是林振強先生、潘源良先生、周禮茂先生和卡龍先生,謝謝他們為要完美地配合大碟主題,不厭其煩地把歌詞寫了再寫。
在紐約拍攝City Rhythm的封套及內頁照片,實在是一個驚喜。雖然我是第一次到紐約,但對於這個充滿感覺和生命力的城巿,我是完全投入,一點也沒有陌生。希望大家透過照片也能領略到那一份感覺。
City Rhythm的唱片監製,倫永亮先生......唉,應該怎樣形容他呢?他在音樂上的造詣和對音樂的熱誠實在不用多說。他朋友的關懷和他善良的心才是最令我感動的。謝謝你,Anthony!
最後,我希望City Rhythm能夠成為你唱片架上有特別意義的一張唱片。
