Keep the spirit of composing burning & who knows, maybe the next uprising STAR will be YOU!

沒有一個男人能像他這樣自嘲的唱情歌
只有這個男人唱著平凡小人物的心聲
憨厚悲情的平民情聖代言人
睽違二年
陳小春2008 最新華語專輯 獨家記憶
9首國語+2首粵語 11首全新單曲
所有失戀一族齊聲推薦
繼風靡全台星光幫指定情歌 「我愛的人」後
又一深情催淚曲「獨家記憶」
陳小春國語專輯【獨家記憶】
雙語類動物陳小春 華語棲地春夏當打
第一主打<獨家記憶> 再打<難朋友>
三打Jordan、小春同台對唱<好難好難>

陳小春向來鍾愛國語歌曲,在台灣做專輯的時間更令他愛上做國語專輯的過程。【獨家記憶】國語專輯以雙語出?共11首新歌,當中有兩首廣東歌<我不是偉人>(<獨家記憶>粵版)及<好男人>(<難朋友>粵版)。小春表示:「一向都好喜歡國語歌,因為音樂同歌詞的配合好有畫面,歌詞簡單直接去講一個故事。唱片的過程好好玩,第一次同李安修合作,大家一齊Brainstorm,開懷溝通。大碟的策劃此次由唱片公司作主導,相信他們的專業選擇。」

歌曲簡介

國語版<難朋友>、廣東版<好男人>

同樣是一曲兩詞,由陳國松作曲,李安修監製,國語詞由李安修親自操刀,廣東詞則由香港詞壇新人陳詩慧挑起大樑。整首歌曲感覺舒服,小春靜靜輕柔的唱腔?出好男人的悲傷與憂愁。

「<好男人>,一個好男人雖然得到好多人的盛讚,卻往往被人當作朋友,好男人的稱譽就像詛咒一樣。公司看好<好男人>這個歌名,於唱K的地方由一定有不少男人點唱給個女聽。」 —–小春
