Painted Heart song originally sung by Zhang Liangying, also the theme song of the film Painted Skin, released on October 20, 2008, with lyrics by Shaoqi Chen and music by Yukiro Fujiwara.
"Painted Heart" is derived from Yukuro Fujiwara's 2003 pure music release "Asian Road".
In 2009, the song won the Best Original Film Song award at the 28th Hong Kong Film Awards.
In 2012, Mai Kuraki released a Japanese version of the song, "Products".
Song Appreciation"Painted Heart" is not only an extension of the plot of the movie "Painted Skin," but it is also in the same vein as the mysterious oriental-inspired images in this movie, achieving the effect of sound and picture in one.
The song's progressive arranging style brings out the movie's stunning and bleak magical style. At the same time, the use of a large number of strings in the orchestration, with Zhang Liangying's singing, makes the whole song sound majestic and has a reverie space. Zhang Liangying's soft voice and melodic filigree, poignant songs complete the reproduction of a classical tragedy that makes people sigh with emotion.
The opening section of the song, in which Zhang sings for nearly half a minute without the help of any musical instruments, instantly brings the listener into the eerie atmosphere created by the movie.
