芳華

連月來忙於準備出版自己的第七張專輯,現率先在此獨家透露選曲的因由及製作的部分概念:
梅艷芳的第一首電視劇歌曲大家肯定記得是「心債」;作為影后的她,所主唱過的電影歌曲大家又記得幾多?
-「心債」除了是電視劇《香城浪子》主題曲外,也是梅艷芳出道的第一首錄音作品;現在收錄的這個acoustic四重奏版本是我在個人專輯《夜的眼睛》內的「赤的疑惑」後的延續餘韻;
-「女人心」是電影《東方三俠》插曲,由梅艷芳主演及主唱,羅大佑作曲丶林夕填詞的作品,獲得香港電影金像獎最佳原創電影歌曲;
-「有心人」是張國榮作曲丶林夕填詞的作品,讓梅艷芳在電影《金枝玉葉(2)》內首唱,她的唱片只收錄過合唱版及現場版,獨唱版本為張國榮主唱;
-「無人願愛我」是劉德華丶鍾楚紅主演的電影《獵鷹計劃》主題曲。今次這張專輯內的鋼琴伴奏版本是人聲與鋼琴同步錄音;
-「親密愛人」是中丶港丶台無人不識的國語經典金曲,與另一首她的國語專輯主題曲「小心」同樣是小蟲的詞作。
猶記得在2016年《梅艷芳—致敬我們香港女兒 - 慈善音樂會》中第一次仿效她穿上婚紗演唱「心債」及「赤的疑惑」,希望藉著穿上婚紗,秉承她敬業樂業的精神,感覺也好像默默向觀眾承諾了嫁給舞台一樣!
梅艷芳,是我們「香港的女兒」,是八十年代粵語流行歌曲最有標誌性的歌后,地位超然。有幸與她在華星時期有一面之緣,她率性隨和,積極提攜後輩,是我們的大師姐、好榜樣,是巨星的典範。
梅艷芳歌演俱佳,她的歌曲與造型每每配合得天衣無縫,形象百變,深入民心,是真正的舞台女皇,一代芳華,無人能及,讓我們一起歌頌她,懷念她,讓她的歌曲代代傳承下去。

Music, Movie, Musicals and Me

Music and theatre have had a close relationship. Theatre can associate with movie or musical theatre (musicals) and I love both of them. I sing theme songs in some Asian movies, such as“When I Dream” (theme from “Dragon Squad”). It easily recalls people not only from scenes of the movie, but also from memory. I love theme music from movies as well as songs from Musicals, especially Broadway. I remember I have fallen in love with Broadway since I was 12. Musical films characteristically contain elements reminiscent of theatre; performers often sing and dance as if there is a live audience watching. Some musical films were adapted for the stage after their great success, such as “The Wizard of Oz” and“Fame”, while successful musicals also definitely received movie adaptations, i.e. stage-to-film adaptations, such as“Jesus Christ Superstar” and “Evita”. We can share our moments after all these years by passing through “Over the Rainbow”, “Out Here On My Own”, “I Don’t Know How To Love Him”, “Don’t Cry For Me Argentina”, “You Must Love Me” ……

“Moon River” (theme from “Breakfast at Tiffany’s”) has to be selected in my new album "Theatre" although it has been covered by hundreds of artists all over the world. I sing it each time, it seems like a live performance accompanied by the pianist just in front of the audience.

“The Way We Were” (theme from “The Way We Were”) must be selected because it was the song of one of my favorite singers that influences me most, Barbra Streisand, and I won the singing contest with it!

“For All We Know” (theme from “Lovers and OtherStrangers”) was selected, of course, in tribute to my forever idol, the Carpenters.

WORDS from Astor :
