好吧，這次原本要發表的不是SBABA，有注意過之前新聞的可能知道，原本要發的歌叫「海枯石爛」，歌如其名的充滿親切感(換個說法叫俗)，很好聽，是首爸媽都會喜歡的順聽歌，但白目如我在最後一刻又換歌了😀 傳說中的砍掉重練，就在明明工作很忙硬排出了時間給我做歌的時候🤪 一首大概已7.8成的Demo做著做著因為試著改變了近期比較喜歡的編曲風格就一發不可收拾，寫歌的人大概就會知道，有些旋律會最適合某些曲風，某些曲風就是不對勁，你不該硬要把一個弦律套上一種編曲，業務嘴的製作人會說風格獨特有自己的味道，誠實的製作人會說四不像，然後畫風一轉，只好新寫一首，唱了些很廢的英文詞，改了些中文詞，然後就是你現在聽到的 #SoBadAtBeingAlone 。
對E姐和索尼音樂有點抱歉，因為這種音樂人的宿命(ㄅㄞˊㄇㄨˋ)而修改了幾次發行時間，搞得各種安排的一再調整，包括也讓你們多等了一會兒。

常看到些人分享 放大的生活 誇張了喜怒哀樂
激情後的空虛與寂寞
看著別人這樣的同時
有時候也想著別人是否也這樣在看著我？
你眼中的我是真的我嗎？
我眼中的我是真的我嗎？
文明現代的生活裡 究竟有多少人能完全免疫？

這課題是很個人的
我沒說清 也說不清
點了題 也許讓你聽著這首歌的同時
靜靜 想想 飛去九霄雲外再回來
有些什麼獲得都是自己的
沒有的話 那就聽歌純娛樂自己😀


至於海枯石爛，我還是會找時間讓你聽到它，單純只是認為SBABA比較貼近現在我(想做的音樂)，就先讓它出生了。因為某些原因，去年底我又一股力衝上來讓我密集的創作，陸續新一波蒐集給專輯的歌都快寫完了，假如我不再度再推翻自己🥶 讓我們繼續看下去⋯


Was supposed to release another song of mine this time around, an easy listening traditional C-Pop banger. But being an artist = rebel… I couldn’t resist the urge of swapping song just weeks before dropping… So here we are, came “So Bad At Being Alone.”
Shout out to Ellen my manager, and Sony Music for rescheduling and accommodating all this. 

I often see people sharing an inflated lifestyle.
So passionate yet so empty and lonely. 
As I see others, I wonder if others see me the same.
Am I who you see I am?
Am I who I see myself as?
In this modern time, who is truly immune?
It’s subjective.
No one has a definite say.
I might have raised some doubts in the song.
You can ponder upon them or just enjoy the music 😀

As for the C-Pop banger mentioned earlier, I’ll find the chance to bring it to the world. I’m once again nearly done with song writing for my album.. If I can resist my rebellious urge that is...

Today’s special episode features my good friend, Karfun! Talked about cross-country/cultural identity struggles, being rebellious and entering the entertainment industry with a completely unrelated education background (she studied law and I studied pharmacy), and what we value most in friendships.

Enjoy! Don’t forget to listen to the rest of our conversation in the next episode!

繼 2018 年金音獎入圍的《炮打司令部》後，中文嘻哈界絕無僅有的共產主義饒舌歌手鍾翔宇與英國製作人 Ransom-Notes 馬不停蹄地聯手炮製出六首歌的新專輯《星星之火》，相較於上張專輯還有如〈保力達B〉、〈偶像的手冊〉等比較詼諧幽默的歌曲，這張專輯顯得更加嚴肅而深入的闡述自己的意識形態。

即使如此，這張專輯並沒有流於自我重複的說教，而是透過自己在美國成長過程親眼目睹的（台灣媒體跟好萊塢電影不告訴你的）具體事實，鍾翔宇戳破所謂的「美國夢」，一層一層爬梳嘻哈音樂如何失去最初的反抗精神、分析爭取勞動權益的困境甚至環保議題。很難想像這麼龐大的知識量被鍾翔宇精巧的放在一張不到 20 分鐘的專輯當中，這樣大膽的嘗試絕對值得你靜下心搭配歌詞細細玩味。搭配 Ransom-Notes 充滿黃金年代風格的編曲，讓嚴肅的歌詞不再難以下嚥。而鍾翔宇精心設計的多韻和不時的好笑 punchline，也展現他想讓歌曲直面普羅大眾的誠意。

批判美國的霸權和當今的社會經濟制度等於動搖了非常多人的基本信念，鍾翔宇也深知這一點。然而看到不公不義的事實而站出來發聲，這是讓鍾翔宇之所以愛上嘻哈的浪漫初衷。《星星之火》這張專輯就如同他的偶像，英國嘻哈詩人 Lowkey 的 “Soundtrack to the Struggle” 一樣，是貨真價實的革命之聲，所有真心想衝破世界當今所面對的困境的人，肯定能從鍾翔宇的音樂中得到啟發。


Shortly after his 2018 album "Bombard the Headquarters" was nominated best hip hop album by the Golden Indie Music Awards, Xiangyu, one of the few openly communist rappers in the Sinosphere, together with his comrade Ransom-Notes from the UK, began working on "a Single Spark." In comparison to his previous album, which contains comedic songs like "Paolyta B" and "the Idol's Handbook," "a Single Spark" takes on a more serious tone and delves deeper into Xiangyu's ideology.

Despite the comparatively somber tone, this new album avoids repetitive preaching. Through sharing his personal experiences and the things he saw growing up in the United States, Xiangyu debunks the so-called "American Dream." Using materialist dialectics, he tells us how hip hop has lost its rebellious essence, and also analyzes power dynamics and touches on topics such as the environment. It is difficult to imagine how Xiangyu and Ransom-Notes were able to condense such a vast expanse of knowledge into an album less than 20 minutes in length. You will not be disappointed should you decide to sit down and listen to such a bold album while studying the lyrics. Reminiscent of hip hop's golden age, Ransom-Notes' beatmaking provides the listener with the sugar that makes the pill easier to swallow. Xiangyu's carefully constructed rhymes and the occasional humorous punch line demonstrate his sincere attempt to make his agitprop more accessible to the layperson.

Criticizing US hegemony and the socioeconomic order of today is tantamount to shattering the fundamental beliefs of many, and Xiangyu is acutely aware of this. The fact that hip hop can serve as a platform for pointing out injustices is what attracted Xiangyu to the genre in the first place. "A Single Spark" is similar to "Soundtrack to the Struggle" by Lowkey, one of Xiangyu's influences, in the sense that it is truly revolutionary in content. Those who genuinely seek to transform the predicaments plaguing our world today will certainly find inspiration in Xiangyu's music.
