Here,\u00a0Auckland\/Aotearoa-born, Sydney\/Eora-based pop rising star Venice Qin pens a loving tribute to BIGBANG\u2019s 2016 album \u2018MADE\u2019.<\/em><\/p>\n It comes as Quin celebrates the release of her own debut album \u2018\u5954\u6708\u00a0MOONLANDING\u2019, a record built from contradictions \u2013 East meets West, Erhu meets hyper-pop, heartbreak meets turbo BPM. \u201cI\u2019ve always struggled with identity and questioned where I sit among cultures, social groups and especially in music,\u201d Venice says of the freshly minted LP. \u201cHowever, in \u2018\u5954\u6708 MOONLANDING\u2019, I\u2019ve found my footing. This album has such a wild mixture of energy, sonics and topics, but all of it is deeply me. Ultimately, it is the journey of me wrestling between multiple parts of myself, and finally accepting that it is the combination of all of these things that makes me who I am.\u201d <\/em><\/p>\n From Venice Quin: <\/strong>Dear MADE<\/em> by BIGBANG,<\/p>\n When I first came across you, I wasn\u2019t sure if you knew your demographic included 13-year-old Chinese girls from New Zealand \u2014 or if I was even supposed to be part of it. Ten years later, I now know I wasn\u2019t in the target audience (I mean, have you seen the \u2018BAE BAE\u2019 MV\u2026), and I still don\u2019t speak Korean. But I don\u2019t care.<\/p>\n Because you completely changed my world.<\/p>\n Confession time: at thirteen and fourteen, I felt deeply uncool. But when I heard the effortless swag and confidence of \u2018FXXK IT\u2019 and \u2018ZUTTER\u2019, I suddenly felt rad as hell, by association. There was so much personality baked into every track, every vocal, every beat, and it gave me permission to imagine becoming someone bold, creative, and proudly different.<\/p>\n Obviously, I\u2019d never been to a club at that age, but \u2018BANG BANG BANG\u2019 took me there anyway. Before you, I barely noticed synths \u2014 but how could I ignore those synths? Harsh, blazing, in-your-face. You lit something in me. The kick, the 808, the drop\u2026 it was electricity in my chest. And yes, I absolutely recreated all the iconic choreo in the bathroom mirror.<\/p>\n And then there\u2019s \u2018IF YOU\u2019 and \u2018LAST DANCE\u2019. Oh. My. GOD. Taeyang and Daesung\u2019s vocals ripped into my soul, and I am not exaggerating. The toplines? Exquisite. I still don\u2019t fully know what the lyrics mean \u2014 but it didn\u2019t matter. I felt everything you were feeling, through the performances alone. And T.O.P\u2019s gentle rap at the end of \u2018LAST DANCE\u2019? Still one of the most genius choices I\u2019ve ever heard. I\u2019m still so inspired by you every day. I hope my work makes you proud, and that I can pass on even a fraction of that feeling to someone else.<\/p>\n With love and forever admiration, South Korea\u2019s BIBI Announces Debut Australian Tour For October 2025<\/a><\/p>\n BTS\u2019 V Hints At New Photo Book \u2014 \u2018Type 1\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n Love Letter to a Record: Meghna on BTS\u2019 \u2018Love Yourself \u8f49 Tear\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n The post Love Letter To A Record: Venice Quin On BIGBANG\u2019s \u2018MADE\u2019<\/a> appeared first on Music Feeds<\/a>.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u2018 The preceding article may include information circulated by third parties \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n \u2018 Some details of this article were extracted from the following source www.yahoo.com \u2019 <\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Music Feeds\u2019\u00a0Love Letter To A Record\u00a0series asks artists to reflect on their relationship with the music they love and share stories about how it has influenced their lives.

I know this is a lot to say at once, but here\u2019s the truth: because of you, I\u2019m now an artist too. And what blows my mind the most is how you built an entire world with this album. Visual, surreal, colourful, cinematic \u2014 you gave us a music video for almost every track, and every single one was chef\u2019s kiss perfection. They made me feel free.<\/p>\n
