“BOY OF THE YEAR 年度男孩"这张多样化的作品， 完美演绎了Warren Hue 作为一名移民青年在天使之城洛杉矶的个人旅程，讲述了他如何一步步成为冉冉升起的超级新星，以及学会如何在“阳光明媚”的洛杉矶生活。 　　这张专辑里的12 首歌曲都带有“experimental-hip-pop”的色彩，即在嘻哈、舞蹈、摇滚和电子制作之上又进一步融合了歌唱旋律和说唱元素。 在这12 首歌曲中，有 11 首由 Warren 的长期合作伙伴、韩国制作人 Chasu 制作。此外，Warren还联手Tobi Lou，推出了这张专辑的主打歌曲“IN MY BAG”。这是一首氛围渲染力极强的夏日歌曲，由 TheWavys 制作。 　　Warren说：“‘BOY OF THE YEAR’是我根据自己在洛杉矶的经历，所做出的最具个性化的一部作品。与Chasu的合作也是这张专辑为什么会涉及到实验主题、观点和制作选择的一个重要因素。这绝对是我创作音乐以来的一次最佳体验，因为我开始学会在新的环境中进行创作，以及在录音棚工作改变了我的看法，让我能够最大限度地进行声乐创作和音乐实验 。总的来说，’BOY OF THE YEAR’ 应该同时让人感到享受、一丝扭曲和有趣。” 　　在这张专辑之前，Warren发行了 3 首单曲来进行预热：“RUNAWAY WITH ME”、与 yvngxchris 合作的“W”，以及“HANDSOME”。Warren先是在加利福尼亚州洛杉矶的每月派对系列“PARTY IN WEST”中首次表演了这些歌曲，然后又在 88rising 历史性的科切拉音乐节表演时段中，同100,000 多名观众一起，演唱了这些单曲。 　　这张专辑推出之后，Warren将会在洛杉矶的 Head in the Clouds 音乐艺术节进行演出，随之而来的还有Warren将于今年秋季开始的首个“BOY OF THE YEAR”北美巡演，以及即将到来的亚洲演出日程安排。 　　BOY OF THE YEAR is a sonically versatile take on Warren Hue’s personal journey as an immigrant teen living in the city of angels, chasing stardom and learning the painfully true take of living in “sunny” Los Angeles. 　　The 12 song “experimental-hip-pop” project is a blend of sung melodies and rap bars on top of hip-hop, dance, rock, and electronic production. 11 of 12 songs were produced by Warren’s longtime collaborator South Korean producer, Chasu. The album releases with focus track, “IN MY BAG” featuring Tobi Lou. It’s a feel-good summertime song, produced by TheWavys. 　　Warren says, “BOY OF THE YEAR is the most personal project I’ve made based on experiences I’ve lived whilst in Los Angeles. Working with Chasu was also an important factor in why this album taps into the experimental subject matters, point of views, and production choices. It was definitely the best experience I’ve had in making music because I was starting to work in new environments and working in a studio changes my perspective in how I write and experiment vocally to the fullest capacity. Overall BOY OF THE YEAR should feel lush, distorted, and fun all at once.” 　　Prior to the album, Warren released 3 singles to set up the project, “RUNAWAY WITH ME”, “W” featuring yvngxchris, and “HANDSOME”. Warren debuted the songs at his monthly party series “PARTY IN WEST” in Los Angeles, California before performing the single during 88rising’s historic Coachella Music Festival with 100,000+ people in the audience. 　　The album will be followed by a performance at the Head in the Clouds Festival in Los Angeles, then his first-ever headlining "BOY OF THE YEAR" North American tour set to kick off this Fall, and upcoming show dates in Asia.
