Golden Melody Awards Key News
Central News Agency
(Central News Agency reporter Wang Hsin-ling, Taipei, 13th) The nominations for the 37th Golden Melody Awards were announced today, and it was revealed that the Special Contribution Awards will be presented to Lin Huang-kun, who created classics such as "Don't Pick the Wildflowers by the Roadside" and "Wish You Happiness," and the late musician Tu Ying. The Jury Award was won by creator Chen Hsiao-hsia's album "Old Wings."
Jury chairperson Huang Yun-ling stated that the core of the Golden Melody Awards is musicians, and she hopes more people will pay attention to Chinese pop music. The Golden Melody Awards not only recognize excellent works but also allow people to hear new inspirations, new voices, and new creators. "Music is an important way for creators to leave behind their life journeys, and music also responds to the pulse of each era." She bowed to the musicians, thanking them for their annual efforts.
Tu Ying, a recipient of the Golden Melody Special Contribution Award, passed away at the end of last year. He was a representative arranger of the 1990s, skilled in using narrative string arrangements and piano blank spaces, blending classical and modern electronic elements into traditional pop arrangements to enrich the expressive power of pop music, laying a solid practical foundation for Taiwan's pop music arranging system.
After 2000, Tu Ying expanded his techniques from recording studios to large-scale live performances, elevating the sound engineering and music production standards of Taiwanese concerts, and tirelessly mentored younger generations.
Veteran lyricist Lin Huang-kun, from a background in film and television, has classic works such as "Memories Can Only Be Recalled," "Wish You Happiness," "Don't Pick the Wildflowers by the Roadside," "Sea Vows and Mountain Alliances," and "Love," which are widely sung in the Chinese-speaking world. He incorporated screenwriting ideas into his lyrics, making them concise yet highly visual. His works span the film, television, and recording industries, witnessing the increasingly prosperous era of Taiwan's entertainment industry and becoming a collective memory across generations.
The Jury Award was presented to Chen Hsiao-hsia's work "Old Wings." The jury believes that Chen Hsiao-hsia is extremely sensitive to words, and many lyricists aspire to collaborate with her, always delivering each song perfectly for the singer's vocal interpretation. "Old Wings," with the voice of an old soul, tells the sum of time, making it an unmissable work.
