The Creative Background of A Journey of Love

She is a little girl who stood out in the singing contest with Jolin Tsai. From 1999 to 2002, she was one of the three little flowers that played for Viking Records with Elva Hsiao. In 2007, after violating the music scene for five years, she chose to sign a contract with a mainland company to start over. It seems that Hou Xiangting has always been a light cloud and a light wind, with no news and no high status. Just relax and be your idol.

An idol singer returned after five years' disappearance from the music scene. Maybe everything is upside down. There are too many unknowns in Hou Xiangting's future. People often say that it is better to miss each other than to meet each other. As a beautiful girl album, this "Journey of Love" is still worth listening to.

Every record has a theme. Compared with Taiwan Province's pop records, Hong Kong's record industry pays more attention to external forms. And this "Journey of Love" is a rare record with both external form and content without accommodating form. In those days when I was affiliated with Yao Qian Viking Records Company, my works more or less showed some literary temperament. Compared with Jiang Meiqi's later Poems in Lovers' Hearts, this album is more artistic and natural, with a feeling of soundtrack.

Formally, the album consists of songs, monologues and piano music. Among them, 10 song is the main line of the album, monologue is the introduction of the song, and piano music increases the audibility of the album. The monologue "Travel Plan" leads to the whole album, and the piano piece "Good Night Mediterranean" ends, which makes the concept of "travel" more complete and temperament.

Yao Qian can always find such masters to create singers. Yuhuan Li composed the music and Chen Qizhen wrote "Let's Go to Paris". The strong Bassanova atmosphere is amazing and is still sought after by fans. Little known is that Lin Yifeng, the only surviving folk singer in Hong Kong, contributed a story about the autumn. Piano, as the main musical instrument of arranger, well matches the progressive tune of the song. The last sentence of the lyrics, "Sadly, the fortune teller said that I forgot you after I was 58 years old", left a deep trace of helplessness with the gradual weakening of the piano. Rare temperament song.

Hou Xiangting's performance in Journey of Love is more mature than the previous two albums, but 18 years old is only 18 years old after all. Although there are good works to support, it is still difficult to get rid of the shackles of their idols. The release of this album has still not caused a sensation. But if you are a 20-year-old young man or a crazy traveler, this album is still the first choice for youth commemoration and travel.
