Analysis:

"chinked-out" is actually Chinese-style hip-hop music; Leehom Wang's innate music A sense of mission. I feel that the Chinese music circle is often influenced by Western music culture, but has always lacked a clear positioning. Therefore, I boldly borrowed the word chink to name my music, hoping to establish the unique status of Chinese new pop music and lead Eastern pop. The music industry finds its own direction and tries out more creativity and imagination.

"chinked-out" combines the expertise of the East and the West to create higher-quality music without borders

The so-called "chinked-out" The spirit of "chinked-out" is actually not as heavy and terrible as imagined. Leehom has truly seamlessly integrated the spirit of Eastern music with Western music forms. If you don't point it out specifically, you will only think that this album is very nice. The music is very diversified, with flavors of Hip Hop, R&B, and more. It has a more Chinese style, just like the works of international singers such as Usher or Justin Timberlake. Leehom's "chinked-out", if used as a metaphor for building a house, is like using Western steel and concrete, coupled with China's unique tenon technique and internal structure, to build a grand, borderless building belonging to the new century. ; Just looking at the appearance of this building, you won’t know whether it is located in New York, Taipei, Paris or Beijing, because it will feel very suitable in any of these places!

Although there have been many works that used Chinese music elements in the past, when they were used, Chinese style was mostly treated as a "feature" or "trivia" rather than completely integrated into it. Leehom's works further transcend the original barriers. For example, in "Sun and Moon in the Heart", the sound of flute and guzheng are constantly interspersed with the natural combination of R&B rhythm; in "Deep in the Bamboo Forest", *** Female singing, Chinese drums, flutes and Western Hip Hop clapping rhythms echo each other; "In That Distant Place" not only samples this familiar folk song to the Chinese, but also features the recurring sounds of ocarina, dulcimer and The wind-like dialogue of the piano sounds like these instruments and elements are originally one, without any distinction between them. It is Leehom's real intention to "chinked-out" to make a music with Eastern characteristics but better integrated with the West so that Westerners can understand it and appreciate their favorite music without borders.
