Producing a new album was the target of Winnie Hsin. She even finished recording some of the new songs at this moment. However, her boss suddenly suggested her to release a compilation album. After discussing with other producers, this idea came into reality with 6 news songs are being added as requested by Winnie. These songs were under strict examination so the compilation album took almost one year to finish. Creativity is spacious as the album doesn't hindered by the completeness of a main theme. Therefore, Winnie chose songs with different styles in the album. The light jazz-styled of 'Who is it?' and the electronic-styled of 'Before you go' are the new try for Winnie.

 

The tone of the new songs are not so sad as before. Winnie cried, 'I don't want to be sad anymore, in fact I'm not so sad!' She is quite tough and not easy to admit failure. On the other hand, she is emotional and romantic. She hopes to try different styles of songs and show-off her talent in presenting fast beat songs!

 

She also shared her experience in performing 'Butterfly Lovers' to the reporters. For acting the role of Ying Tai Zhu, she burdened great pressure and always couldn't sleep well. She also cried often and easily got tired. Such job made her thinking back while she was a student major in vocal music: She sang in a loud voice continuously. For showing her own style, Winnie combined pop and classical music and a Winnie Hsin-styled of Ying Tai Zhu appeared! Be frank, she said that memorizing lyrics made her sick, as sometimes same melody got different lyrics. She burdened great pressure by setting high expectation on herself. The director told her need not to cry truly during rehearsal, but emotional Winnie couldn't help crying. Happiness and satisfaction have their costs!

原先辛曉琪以製作新專輯的方向,完成了好幾首新歌的錄音工作,但是唱片公司忽然找了曉琪討論,希望先發行一張新歌加精選的專輯。在問過其他製作人的意見之後,辛曉琪也認為精選輯企劃的可行性很高,於是就改為推出這張新歌加精選的專輯,雖然如此,曉琪卻表示她很堅持有些歌曲要放在全新的專輯裡,這一次不做曝光。雖然只有6首新歌,但每首歌曲都經過了嚴格的審核,甚至一錄再錄,整個製作期也長達1年多的時間。而曉琪也覺得這次推出新歌加精選專輯,比起做一張全新專輯的空間更大,因為是集合許多精選歌曲,所以不用考慮到整體的一致性,有機會來試唱不同風格的作品,像是新歌中走爵士慵懶路線的「誰啊」、帶點電子曲風的「你走之前」,都是辛曉琪的新嘗試。

 

與曉琪之前的作品比較起來,這一次的新歌沒有以往非常悲痛、灑狗血的感覺,對此辛曉琪也大聲疾呼「我不要再悲情了,其實我的人不沒有那麼悲情!」因為唱紅「領悟」之後,辛曉琪就大家被定位在"悲情"歌手,實際上曉琪的個性並非如此,而是有著堅持、不服輸的個性,同時也是個感性、浪漫的人。除了悲傷的情歌之外,她很希望能夠多嘗試不同的曲風,以歌唱實力來證明自己唱快歌一樣動聽!

 

在這張『我也會愛上別人的』新歌+精選專輯中,除了收錄曉琪歷年來24首經典情歌與男女對唱,更破天荒地以整張專輯的製作預算打造6首全新風貌的好歌。這次的6首新歌由兩位華語頂尖音樂人賈敏恕、鍾興民與辛曉琪聯合鑄造,讓這張彙整了曉琪過往無數好歌的經典全輯,更增添了不少新鮮氣味,也為曉琪的音樂生命,開創更美麗的延續。

 

回憶起曾經合唱過的歌手,辛曉琪表示「哥哥」張國榮讓她最難忘,因為哥哥要求兩人必須當面對唱,所以「深情相擁」、「眉來眼去」這兩首歌曲就是他們一起在台北錄音。合唱粵語歌「眉來眼去」時,張國榮還一字一句的教她發音,讓不太會說廣東話的曉琪順利的錄唱完畢。對辛曉琪來說,張國榮真的就像兄長一樣很疼她,待人不僅體貼溫柔,也會幫曉琪分憂解勞,在她疑惑的時候給予幫助!除了錄音之外,兩人也常一起吃飯、聊天,相處的非常愉快。另外,辛曉琪還說到自己與樂壇前輩金祖齡的合作經驗,挑戰演唱英文歌「The Prayer」,為了讓歌曲的品質更好,這一次曉琪也特地把母帶拿到韓國重MIX,最後的成果連她自己都很滿意。

 

除了介紹這張新歌+精選專輯之外,辛曉琪也聊到自己首次參加音樂劇【梁祝】演出的經驗,為了詮釋女主角祝英台這個角色,曉琪透露那時候壓力很大,常常失眠睡不著,而且老是要哭、非常的累。雖然【梁祝】是齣古裝劇,但整部戲以音樂為主,不僅要一邊演戲還要一邊唱歌,曉琪表示這個經歷讓她回想起自己當學生練聲樂的時候,要不停地大聲唱歌。而為了突顯出自己的特色,曉琪也綜合了流行樂跟古典樂的感覺,唱出屬於自己的祝英台!其中,曉琪認為記歌詞跟台詞是最痛苦的事情,有時旋律一樣但歌詞不同,所以偶而會有點小出錯,因此要求極高的她心裡壓力很大。還沒演的時候,辛曉琪就很擔心自己能不能融入角色,尤其是剛開始演的時候,常被導演說動作不夠大、說話不夠出來,曉琪也花了很久時間去調適,還好後期的狀況都不錯。只是沒想到,已經抓住祝英台感覺的曉琪,就算是排演時也會不自覺的一直哭,雖然導演怕曉琪太累,跟她說排演時不用真哭,但是感性的曉琪每每排練的時候,還是忍不住一直流淚,這個情況倒是當初沒有意料到的!而辛苦付出是有代價的,這部【梁祝】獲得不錯的迴響,曉琪也覺得很高興!

 

在這一集的節目中,辛曉琪除了介紹『我也會愛上別人的』新歌+精選專輯之外,也希望大家多多支持她的音樂作品!
