Golden Melody Awards Key News

Central News Agency (Taipei, May 13) - The nominations for the 37th Golden Melody Awards were announced today, and it was also announced that the Special Contribution Award 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 songwriter Chen Xiao-Xia'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 to express her gratitude for their annual efforts.

Tu Ying, recipient of the Golden Melody Awards Special Contribution Award, passed away at the end of last year. He was a representative arranger of the 90s, skilled at using narrative string arrangements and piano blank spaces, blending classical and modern electronic elements into traditional pop arrangements, enriching the expressive power of pop music, and laying a solid practical foundation for Taiwan's pop music arrangement 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 nurturing younger generations.

Veteran lyricist Lin Huang-Kun, who came from a film and television background, has classic works such as "Memories Can Only Be Recalled," "Wish You Happiness," "Don't Pick the Wildflowers by the Roadside," "Sea Oath Mountain Alliance," 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 film, television, and the record industry, witnessing the increasingly prosperous era of Taiwan's entertainment industry and becoming a collective memory across generations.

The Jury Award was given to Chen Xiao-Xia's work "Old Wings." The jury believes that Chen Xiao-Xia is extremely sensitive to words, and many lyricists aspire to collaborate with her. She always delivers each song perfectly for the singer's vocal interpretation. "Old Wings," with its old soul's tone, tells the sum of time, making it an album not to be missed.
