Querencia

K-Pop界下一个新的Diva，在名为《Querencia》的珠宝盒中熠熠发光。 在韩国流行音乐史上，Diva们有着至关重要的地位。 金秋子，是上世纪60年代末开启迷幻摇滚和灵魂乐新模式的 "申正贤团队 "中最知名的歌姬，她为乐坛带去像Janis Joplin那样激进而感性的魅力。金元萱在80年代引领了K-Pop新浪潮的时代，并将新浪潮摇滚和Synthpop带入主流视野，开启了一个前所未有的舞曲新时代。90年代，严正花的出现，引领了更加先锋的视觉和富有感性魅力的音乐，随后李孝利将原汁原味的Hip-Hop和R&B带入韩语流行世界，BoA则以全球流行歌手的身份一跃而起，改变了K-Pop的模式。所有的Diva们都值得被铭记，他们是创造流行音乐时代转折点的历史见证。 那么，在当下的K-Pop舞台之上，谁能将Diva们的传奇延续呢？在过去几年主要以团体形式为单位而建立起来的韩流偶像市场之上，金请夏作为少有的偶像类型，以舞台表演者的形象崛起，用她独有的爆发力俘获了大众的心，同时她迷人的嗓音也为她作为solo歌手的身份活动而打响了名号，请夏用不断发展的事业成绩证明着自己的潜力。通过与不同气质不同流派的艺人，从偶像艺人到R&B/hip-hop歌手，再到来自88rising的Rich Brian，广泛地开展合作，请夏持续地拓展着自己的视野与边界。她的首张正式全长专辑《Querencia》正是对于她在音乐领域更大胆的尝试与更丰富细节的展示。 金请夏此次正式专辑共有21首歌曲，涵盖了各种当代流行音乐与舞曲风格，其风格跨越了House、拉丁、Afrobeat和Bass等众多音乐流派的界限。《Querencia》全专根据曲目概念的跳跃点分为四个章节，四个主题分别对应为“Noble”、“Savage”、“Unknown”和“Pleasures”。尽管每个章节所对应的概念和对立的象征意味都截然不同，但最终却共同构成了金请夏的音乐形象，通过多样而复杂的情感表达，请夏构筑了属于自己的音乐宇宙。 K-Pop’s new diva, found in the jewelry box called “Querencia”. Divas have a very special presence in the history of Korean popular music. Kim Choo-ja, the most famous singer of the “Team Shin Jung-hyeon” that opened a new paradigm for psychedelic rock and soul in the late 1960s, presented radical and sensual charisma like Janis Joplin and Kim Wan-sun led the age of the new wave K-Pop in the 80s and brought new wave rock and synthpop into the mainstream, opening a new era of never-before-seen dance music. The emergence of Uhm Jung Hwa led to even more trendy visuals and sensual music in the 90s, Lee Hyori brought authentic hip-hop and R&B into the mainstream, and BoA changed the paradigm for K-Pop by taking a leap as a global pop star. All divas deserve to be remembered as historical events that created turning points of the ages. So who is the diva that will carry on this legacy in the current K-Pop scene? Seldomly occurring in the idol market that has been reestablished in group units over the past few years, CHUNG HA rose as a performer to capture the public’s heart with her explosive energy, while making a name for herself as a solo vocalist with a captivating voice, proving her own potential with her career. Through collaborations with artists that belong to various music scenes and genres, from idols to R&B/hip-hop artists, and 88rising’s Rich Brian, CHUNG HA has broadened her horizon and evolved. Her first official full-length album “Querencia” shows even bolder directionality and richer details in her musical endeavor. Her official 21-track album encompasses various contemporary pop and dance music styles that cross the boundaries of house, Latin, afrobeat, and bass. “Querencia” is divided into four chapters based on the jump-off points of conceptual tracks in the themes of Noble, Savage, Unknown, and Pleasures. While the contrast of opposing and intense concepts that each of the chapters symbolize are grossing genres, they constitute CHUNG HA’s artistic identity as she completes her own universe through complex and diverse narratives of emotion.
