-- Chinese artist Zhang Zhehan unveils his new EP Kaleidoscope, marking another milestone in his musical exploration. Conceived as an “observational instrument,” the EP takes the “kaleidoscope” as its core metaphor. Rather than a simple song collection, the project builds a triple perspective—to refract, observe, and reassemble the self—highlighting Zhang’s growing ambition as a creator. Looking back on the year, from the narrative warmth of Scavenger to the structural exploration of Kaleidoscope, Zhang continues to expand his musical boundaries with both productivity and quality.
Three Singles — A Journey of Self-Observation
Reflecting on the productive process for this new EP, Zhang recalls the early phase of demo selection: “With every choice, every cut, I saw my taste clearer. These three singles slowly revealed themselves.” Refining pronunciation and emotion, he added, “You think you’ve tried enough, and then suddenly a voice touches you. In these three singles, I saw three versions of me.”
Zhang recorded all backing vocals himself. In Why Not, the a cappella parts stack into a bright echo of many voices. After recording, he reflected: “The first single feels like singing to myself; by the third, it becomes about people and connection.”
Each single embodies one axis of the “kaleidoscope” concept—unique on its own, complete as a whole.
Inside the EP: Three Lenses of the Self
Lens I — Lost Here
Smooth R&B textures and dynamic shifts between head and chest tones, building emotional depth through layered progression and a hypnotic rhythm. The track allows for deep soulful connection, making it replay endlessly in the mind.
Lens II — Main Price
Crisp percussion and retro electronic pulses drive momentum. Here, Zhang channels his bold, free stage persona—running toward passion, movement, and self-liberation.
Lens III — Why Not
A theatrical, open-armed composition that moves from introspection to connection. Zhang imagines a theatre, applause raining down. Joy, sorrow, hope, restlessness—rising, mixing, and condensing into the power of a crowd, absorbing and transmitting voices. Tiny glass-like pieces float under the dome—each one a life, a heart, a story being seen. Stories collide, feelings resonate, and music becomes communal energy.
Lost Here, Main Price, Why Not.
The pieces continue to align, the story is ongoing, and life moves on.
Drama, Documentary, and Beyond — A Creative Landscape Expanding in All Directions
Beyond music, Zhang has persistently explored diverse creative avenues, continuously pushing the boundaries of his potential. His 2024 directorial debut documentary, August, premiered to a strong reception and has sustained organic momentum, surpassing 18 million views on YouTube. The project highlights Zhang’s sensitivity in storytelling and his potential as a filmmaker.
Meanwhile, his latest drama has officially wrapped production. Moving from the front stage to behind the scenes, from singer to creator—the stages have changed and his roles have transformed, but he remains driven by passion and craft. With every new venture, he demonstrates how dedication and creativity can push past limits.
With Kaleidoscope officially out and a new drama preparing for future release, Zhang continues to shape a career built on artistry and sincerity.
Stay tuned for more from Zhang Zhehan, as he continues to innovate and inspire across music and drama.
