我有点喜欢这首歌，说实话，我从没留意过多少中文歌手，只是最近好像确实有些优秀的歌手，spotify一直推送中文歌手给我，我就发现了这首歌，汉堡黄的《乌鸦》。我去找了下这里面这些风格都是哪些人，我一首都没听过，感觉有点奇怪，有点现代，但又有点千禧年的那种网络歌手的感觉（这是千禧年吗？我不太确定，就是很复古，但不知道是哪里复古），有点新旧结合的感觉，感觉很有意思。在中国，好像最近很流行新旧结合，确实结合的很好。
虽然我真的不喜欢她的歌词，但是也瑕不掩瑜。她的封面我也很喜欢，也是汉堡黄自己选的，都非常的体现她的个性、风格和喜好。我很喜欢她所有的选择，很风格化，很强烈的个人性格，真的让我耳目一新，我觉得这些女歌手真的未来可期。太厉害了。拍手。
说起湖南人， 最近居然莫名其妙在亚洲艺术博物馆看到齐白石的画，我真的觉得有点奇怪，我真的从来不去那个博物馆，这是我爸来了，我就上那个网站去看了一下，发现居然有齐白石？我真的觉得很奇怪，齐白石来这里做什么？但是因为那个周六居然不要门票，我们刚搜到就立刻去了。赚翻。我真的觉得齐白石的画就是很基础的山水画，但是为了装逼，还是猛发一顿ig，因为有的人总觉得我们没文化，我要炫耀。
说实话，我对这篇中文博客有点忐忑。我不知道对这门语言的掌握是不是还如我之前理解的那样，还是现在大家换了方式说话了？这听上去像是我说的话吗？你们知道我为什么把我的博客现发给你们吗？我想让你们监督我，我不能在这个博客上说假话，我要诚实。

I kind of like this song. Honestly, I’ve never paid much attention to Chinese singers, but recently there really seem to be some great ones. Spotify keeps recommending Chinese artists to me, and that’s how I came across this song—“Crow”by Hamburger Huang. I looked into the styles and influences behind it, but I hadn’t heard of any of them before. It feels a bit strange—kind of modern, but also a bit like those early-2000s internet singers (wait, is that still called the millennium? I’m not sure—just something really retro, but I can’t put my finger on what exactly). It’s this blend of old and new, and I find it really interesting.
In China, it seems like this “old-meets-new” vibe is really trending lately—and to be fair, people are doing it well.
Even though I really don’t like her lyrics, it doesn’t ruin the rest of it. The song’s still great. I also really like her album cover, which was also chosen by Hamburger Huang herself. Everything about it really reflects her personality, her style, her preferences. I really love all of her choices—so stylized, so full of personal character. It’s genuinely refreshing. I feel like these female artists have such a promising future. They’re so talented. Applause.
Speaking of Hunan folks—somehow I randomly saw Qi Baishi’s paintings at the Asian Art Museum recently. That was really weird to me. I never go to that museum. But since my dad’s been here, I checked the museum website one day and saw that—wait, Qi Baishi?? What’s he doing here? It was super random. But that Saturday happened to be free admission, so as soon as we saw it, we rushed over. Total win.
Honestly, I think Qi Baishi’s paintings are just basic landscape stuff, but to show off, I still posted a bunch on IG. Some people seem to think we’re uncultured, so I wanted to flex.
Truthfully, I’m a little anxious about this blog post in Chinese. I don’t know if my grasp of the language is still what I thought it was… or maybe people talk differently now? Does this even sound like me? Do you know why I’ve been sending you my blog posts as I write them? I want you to hold me accountable. I can’t lie on this blog. I have to be honest.
