SHENZHEN, China, April 2, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- Tencent Music
Entertainment Group ("Tencent Music," "TME," or the "Company")
(NYSE: TME), the leading online music entertainment platform
in China, today launched a collaborative charity album with
pop singer and TME Music Care Ambassador Chen Linong, and a select group of autistic
children. Dubbed "Stars and Wishes", this album was
launched on World Autism Awareness Day as part of TME Music
Care FM, which continues the efforts of TME Music Charity
Projects.
In China, children with autism
are commonly referred to as "children of the stars". In the album
"Stars and Wishes", Chen
Linong uses music to give an encouraging voice to autistic
children, with the warm lyrics in the song "Ten Thousand
Sparkles": "We will guard the love in our hearts, and radiate
warmth every minute. Lighting up a colorful life for you and
accompanying you, getting through this together." Universal
Music Group, the music publishing company under which Chen Linong is signed, will publish and promote
this single worldwide.
"I believe that music has the power to heal hearts," said
Chen Linong. "I am pleased to join
TME's charity project and work with talented children, leveraging
music to contribute to social welfare. Autism requires long-term
rehabilitation, and thus we should give more care, patience and
love to these children."
TME has invited several young autistic music artists from around
the world to take part in the production of this charity album,
including Zhou Bohan from
China, Clarence Kang from Malaysia, and Takuto
Koyanagi from Japan. The
album, as part of TME Music Care FM, is available on
Tencent Music's QQ Music, Kugou
Music, Kuwo Music, and WeSing.
In addition to the release of the "Stars and Wishes"
charity album, TME also launched a variety of online activities,
including an online art exhibition that features artwork from
autistic children, and a collection of 'I feel good' stories, and
more. At the same time, TME has worked with many brands to increase
awareness and contribute to the public good.
During the four consecutive years from 2017 to 2020,
Tencent Music released four charity
albums, to provide support and education for special needs groups
such as autistic children, while at the same time raising awareness
of music therapy and how it can improve mental health.
TME Music Care FM has expanded its focus on autistic patients to
society as a whole, committing to the use of music to remedy mental
health issues prevalent in the world today. On March 20, Music Care FM partnered with various
global artists to launch a "World Sleep Day" playlist on TME's
platforms. The goal was to use the rejuvenating power of music to
enhance sleep quality and relieve mental pressure. On March 26, Music Care FM launched a long-form
audio program, "Healing with Music", for its users.
As the leading player in China's online music entertainment industry,
Tencent Music is tapping the many
benefits of music, using its vitality to bring care and warmth to
its audiences. In the future, Tencent
Music will introduce more charity music projects to draw attention
to social issues and better engage music fans.
