| Summary: | 碩士 === 東吳大學 === 音樂學系 === 102 === This paper makes an intensive study of the 13 music albums released by S.H.E from 2001 through 2012, specifically the 24 cover version songs, which were adopted from the originals to be newly arranged and added with Chinese lyrics. This paper explores the influence of these cover songs on Taiwan’s pop music.
S.H.E has hit a huge success by singing cover version songs, which are not only diversified in styles but also provide an opportunity for the Taiwanese to appreciate various music cultures of foreign countries. This unique and inclusive nature enables S.H.E to absorb new things and inspires the pop music composers and lyricists in Taiwan to try innovative skills in music creation. Moreover, some original songs from S.H.E’s albums have been covered by foreign bands, which is evidence that Taiwan’s pop music can be exported, instead of the one-way import of other countries’ pop music in the past.
In summation, S.H.E’s music albums not only make remarkable influence on the globalization of Taiwan’s pop music, but have contributed to the localization of Taiwan’s pop music.
