Yes, it is not the most profound, nor the most groundbreaking, nor the most alternative, rebellious or wild, but just the most beautiful, Xu Wei’s loneliness, Xu Wei’s melancholy, Xu Wei’s The excellence flows from the most beautiful and talented melodies on this album. In fact, Xu Wei's 1997 album "Elsewhere" has already amazed many people. Among them, "The City I Miss", "My Autumn" and "Two Days" have all become the classics of Chinese rock love songs. A model.

"Time Walking" is an album that Xu Wei spent three years creating with great concentration. The music style has changed a lot. The music of this album is very different from the desperate, angry, and noisy style of the first two albums. It is sad, warm, comfortable, and beautiful. It immediately impressed a large number of listeners, and is said to have become a favorite among white-collar workers and college students. Some people in the industry believe that , this change in music is a natural change in Xu Wei's life experience, and is the product of many years of hard work. What remains unchanged in the new album is Xu Wei's impressive ability to control melody and his persistence in music. It is said that during the recording of the album, Beijing musicians visited the recording studio to listen to it, which caused widespread outrage. Some people in the industry even cried on the spot while listening to the new songs in the recording studio. Since the album was released, it has achieved astonishing sales results in just 2 months, especially in the south.

The wider response and the letters and calls received by the record company fully confirmed the extension of Xu Wei's music route.

However, some fans who were originally loyal to his early music full of despair and restlessness complained that Xu Wei did not rock. . Xu Wei said that they don't know that kind of suffering. I can no longer give them that kind of misdirection. "This thing has misled many people. They think that rock music should be like this, that it should be decadent." Xu Wei said.

June 2003: After signing with M2, a subsidiary label of Modern Sky, Jiang Xin recently started the production of her fourth solo album and revealed to the outside world that this album will select her long-time singer My friend, the famous musician Xu Wei, serves as the producer.

As a new generation of spiritual leader in the Chinese music scene, Xu Wei has been in the music industry for 10 years and has been practicing for 3 years. , Xu Wei finally completed the new album "Every Moment is Brand New" that was three years in the making.

This is an album with the beauty of balance. The eleven songs achieve harmony and unity between heavy and light, urgent and slow, light and dense. Behind those notes is beating freely. Xu Wei's Normal Heart - In an era of rampant materialism, who knows how rare it is to have a normal heart; this is a return to nature album, which clearly shows that no matter how the times change, no matter the environment No matter how you change, some things will never change. For Xu Wei, that has always meant words like this - simplicity, kindness, purity, brightness, hope, sincerity - but in the album they are just the most direct actions. : Sing with your heart. In this album, the small things in life described by Xu Wei are like watching the world through the eyes of children, but the messages in those songs have always been conveyed - joy and hope, tolerance and strength. That is determined by the attitude of the singer when facing life after going through ups and downs. It is a kind of optimistic, calm and calm feeling like a cloud and a breeze. Xu Wei himself said frankly that this completely composed album was his experience after practicing hard, and it contains his joys and sorrows, as well as his undeniable self-change. Therefore, Xu Wei admits that whether it is music or life, this is an album that connects the past and the future, connecting him and us with the same past and future.
