专辑简介
在拿到美国伯克利音乐学院的证书后, Julia 吴卓源决定离开熟悉的环境,背著轻便的行李飞往亚洲,为自己的音乐梦赌一把。
通常 18 岁女生不太会花时间在 Facebook 上寻找各大公司的音乐总监们,再用自己的 YouTube 连结轰炸他们。2012 年秋天,Julia Wu 却真的这么做了,总共联系了 15 位以上、完全不认识的音乐界前辈。隔天就收到了第一封、也是唯一的一封回信,来自 terrytyelee——同年他成功打造了 Kimberley 首张专辑,随后在自己事业高峰时,辞去索尼音乐总监一职。他想找回初心,就像 1993 年的乔丹——时空的齿轮开始运转。
后来的五年间,两人透过网路和廉价航空机票保持联系、用音乐支持著彼此,直到 Julia 做好准备。去年,她结束学业后,跳上波士顿飞台北的班机,来到这人称华语音乐之都的地方,追寻自己的音乐生涯。五年的等待太长,他们已等不急要开始合作。
1:28 探索了属于千禧世代的都市情爱、距离感、疏离与欢愉。从这些写于 2017 冬天至春天的歌曲看来,Julia 的故事才正要开始。
After graduating Berklee, Julia Wu leaves the comfort of school and home to bet on an unwritten future. **** risk.
Not every 18 year old spends the day sending out YouTube links to A&R Directors on Facebook. One day in the fall of 2012, Julia Wu did exactly that. She spammed every A&R Director in Taiwan to see who would reply. One did. Luckily for her, the guy who replied was terrytyelee. Coming off the success of Kimberley Chen’s debut, he had quit his job at Sony Music Taiwan on a high note. He was Jordan in 1993 looking for the next act.
He replied and the rest fell in together like clockwork. Through the internet and cheap plane tickets, both spent five years supporting each other till she was ready to come out to Taiwan to pursue a music career. After graduating last year, Julia hopped on a plane for Boston and proceed to Taipei, the capital of Mando-pop, to pursue her career in music. This wait was five year overdue so both got to work right away.
1:28 visits urban millennial themes of love, distance, separation and celebration. Written in the Winter 2017, it appears, or sounds like, Julia has only just begun.
