The creative background of strangers

In 2003, Tanya Chua joined Warner. Prior to this, Tanya Chua experienced a period of depression. At that time, she was quite suspicious of herself and broke up with her long-distance boyfriend. These made her fall into the creative bottleneck and once faded out of the music scene. During the low tide of Tanya Chua's life, Warner was reluctant to invite him to join, but Tanya Chua finally regained his desire to make music. Picking up music again, she changed a little, writing songs from the room to the toilet; Nightlife with a long history has changed from night owls to early hours. When recording at 8-9 pm, there was a weak and tired voice, which was no longer the schedule for singing until 2-3 am. At the same time, I accidentally met another "stranger" (Eric Ng). Thus, this "stranger" was born in this situation.

This album is called "Stranger", and the concept comes from Tanya Chua. I feel that everyone starts from a stranger, which is a starting point and may become good friends, lovers and so on. Strangers are everyone's starting point. The pain of city people in love is a summary of the theme expressed by Tanya Chua in The Stranger. In this new album, she wrote seven songs by herself. Different from the free and easy style of love in previous albums, this time Tanya Chua became a little woman, hurt by love at will, but with no way out.

The arrangement of the album deliberately got rid of the shackles of Tanya Chua's previous style and became much more gorgeous, while at the same time trying not to lose the simplicity of folk songs. The structure of the album is mainly Tanya's creation, except Tanya herself, which is produced by Eric Ng, Ken C and Adam. It tries to keep the unique and exclusive texture and smell presented in commercial fashion, break through the commemorative classics and create a deeper artistic conception. Listening to the essence of music naturally radiates empathy and renders the emotional power of humanity. Lyrics written by lyricists such as Yao Qian, Xiao Han and Yi Jiayang try to impress people.
