Yang Naiwen, the highest benchmark of female rock singers in the Chinese music scene and "Rock Muse", has left a distinct and unique mark in the hearts of music fans with her musical works, singing ability and personal style. Her exquisite appearance, unique and highly recognizable voice, and mysterious and cold charm have established her status as the queen of rock. Yang Naiwen, who has sung countless classic songs since his debut and has won music awards at home and abroad for his albums, has become an iconic figure in the music industry. He is still committed to breaking through the pattern and expanding his own musical boundaries. He has spent four years planning a new album, implementing the highly experimental and breakthrough rock spirit, and has invited musicians from ten band backgrounds to collaborate, which will bring a new auditory impact of high voltage electricity to the music industry.

Naiwen Yang's new album "Flow", as the spirit embodied in the album title, brings together various musical trends and launches a joint collaboration that breaks the boundaries of the times. It includes ten iconic bands, both classic and cutting-edge, in the Chinese music scene: Wu Bai, Paul Wong, Sunset Rollercoaster, Buddha Jumps Over the Wall, Fools and Idiots, I Mean Us, JADE, Ao Yu Shan, Night Watchmen, and Crispy. They cross the boundaries of indie and pop and perform ten style singles that subvert ideas. The album's music genres include blues rock, folk, electronic, dream pop, post rock, pop lyricism, etc. The arrangement form strives for a unique style and experimental nature, breaking the creative framework and transcendentally showing Yang Naiwen's unique musical aura.

"What would it be like if Naiwen Yang was the lead singer of these bands?"

Ten bands (people) took "Yang Naiwen" as the theme, tailored the lyrics and music, and participated in the recording in person. With their own unique musical colors, they communicated with Yang Naiwen's straightforward and distinctive style. In these works, you can hear the characteristics of each band, and you can also hear that under such a proposition, they have different thinking from the past, and even a flavor that is rarely shown in their own bands. This idea is experimented on Yang Naiwen, transcending gender, personality, time, style, and communication limitations. In a smooth cooperation without compromise, they put their wholehearted musical energy into it, reflecting the purest essence of music. Ge Dawei, who served as the production coordinator, also described it as "In the works of different creators, it's like getting to know Yang Naiwen, who you are very familiar with, all over again."

The album "Flow" was produced by Golden Melody Award producer Chen Junhao, who described Yang Naiwen as a "dream lead singer of a band". "A great lead singer will make the band members more excited, and excitement is a very important factor for the band. Yang Naiwen's singing has very few restrictions, which can expand the band's musicians' room for performance, so that during post-production, the timbres of various instruments and Naiwen's voice can be perfectly matched to the listening state." In this album, you can not only listen to Naiwen's singing and the band's creations, but the configuration and style of the instruments are also a major highlight of the album. In order to present a more delicate sound quality, the album master was sent to the UK and master engineer Matt Colton was invited to produce it. Matt Colton, who has worked with internationally renowned musicians such as Muse, Coldplay, Arctic Monkeys, and Depeche Mode, created Yang Naiwen's "Flow", an album with an international vision and rock music, with his professional and meticulous mastering post-processing.
