There are many complicated reasons why Elva Hsiao stayed away from the music scene for three years.
1. The peak of career is also the bottleneck of career
Hsiao’s music career has been rising step by step during EMI’s Viking period, and she has firmly established herself as the top Chinese sister. However, Virgin’s resources and vision She cannot be allowed to create higher peaks. Xiao Yaxuan realized that if this continued, the next step would be to reach the end. We know that although "The Fifth Avenue" sold very well purely because Elva Hsiao was very popular at the time, the praise was not as high as it was during the days of "Tomorrow" and "The Fifth Avenue". Therefore, Elva Hsiao left Viking and took a year's leave to go abroad to relax and recharge, laying a solid foundation for creating new miracles in the future. Therefore, that year, Elva Hsiao chose to leave the music scene.
2. Sudden personnel changes within Warner
At that time, Elva Hsiao "married" into Warner. Many people had high expectations for this, hoping that Elva Hsiao could create great things after joining Warner. New glory. In fact, it should have been like this at the beginning, but Chen Zeshan, who signed him back then, suddenly left Warner Bros. and switched to EMI. As an outsider, we can’t tell what is the trick or the inside story, but what is certain is that Chen Zeshan’s departure took away many of Warner’s capable people, and Warner was once plunged into a personnel crisis. With no one to plan and no funds to promote, Elva Hsiao’s album was shelved. Many people were very dissatisfied with this, but imagine that Warner was already in such a situation that the Clay Bodhisattva could not save herself when crossing the river, and she no longer had the energy to carry out her plan. Moreover, even if this album is to be released for Elva Hsiao, it must be done well and the money must not be wasted. Therefore, it was understandable that Warner chose to shelve her album at that time.
3. Elva Hsiao himself is unwilling to sing saliva songs that he doesn’t like
Finally, Warner’s personnel crisis gradually eased, everything was slowly on track, and Elva Hsiao’s new album was also Put it on the agenda. The person in charge of her album at that time was the guitarist wearing sunglasses from FIR (I forgot his name). Anyone who cared about Elva Hsiao's album at that time should know that the album was planned to be called "Crazy in Love", and as the main song "Crazy in Love", its melody is similar to "Not Afraid, Not Afraid" which once drooled over the streets. It's the same. As Hsiao Hsiao who has already experienced big hits, it is impossible for her to sing such a childish song just to cater to the market. She wants to sing songs she likes. In fact, this was one of the reasons why Elva Hsiao and his mentor Yao Qian had conflicts before. At that time, Elva Hsiao refused to sing the song "Crazy in Love", so the man wearing sunglasses forced the child to sing. Later, Elva Hsiao cried and finished singing, and the tape was given to the man in sunglasses. After the man in sunglasses listened to the song with a crying tone, , got angry, so he hid Elva Hsiao in the snow. . . What a tragedy. .
It is not easy to imagine Elva Hsiao. After 1087, it was full of ups and downs. Fortunately, she was very strong and listened to everyone. I admire her very much. Now, she is regaining lost ground step by step. Last year's "Diamond Candy" performed very well, and everyone has found the same Elva Hsiao back then. I believe she can return to her former glory in the near future!
