Zhang Zhehan Releases Third Physical Album Scavenger and Graces the Cover of Harper's Bazaar Vietnam for the First Time
Scavenger: A Bold Exploration of Diverse Musical Styles
As Zhang Zhehan's third solo album, Scavenger features eight carefully crafted tracks, five of which he co-wrote. Explaining the meaning behind the album's title, Zhang says, 'A scavenger is like someone quietly exploring on a lonely planet—bending down, head lowered, always remaining humble while searching for the unknown.' Musically, the album embodies a spirit of exploration and artistic ambition. From operatic vocals filled with theatrical intensity, sharp and rhythmic rap, to melodies inspired by travel and emotionally charged rock, Zhang continues to push his creative boundaries—offering a rich and varied listening experience.
Final Track WU: A Three-Part Philosophical Journey
The final track on the album, WU, was composed by Zhang Zhehan and written in a single night. The song is structured in three parts: the first, WU (fog), expresses a state of confusion and mystery; the second, WU (enlightenment), symbolizes an intense period of growth and self-realization; and the final part, WU (restraint), returns to calm, conveying a higher state of reason—one where discipline and tolerance lead to true inner freedom. Rather than just a song, WU feels like a meditative journey of introspection and philosophical insight.
First International Big-Five Fashion Cover: A Milestone in Cross-Cultural Appeal
Alongside his musical accomplishments, Zhang Zhehan is also making strides in the fashion world. His recent cover shoot for the Vietnamese edition of Harper ' s Bazaar Vietnam marks his first appearance on an international edition of one of the 'Big Five' fashion magazines—a milestone with special significance. The dual-cover spread showcases his distinctive fashion sensibility and expanding global influence. Upon release, the issue received enthusiastic praise and quickly surpassed 100,000 copies in sales, highlighting his strong appeal in the Southeast Asian market.
With the release of Scavenger, the success of the namesake concert, and his historic Harper ' s Bazaar Vietnam cover, Zhang Zhehan continues to chart new territory in both music and fashion—solidifying his status as a multifaceted artist with growing international influence.

After much speculation, Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham announce ‘Buckingham Nicks' reissue
NEW YORK — They're not going their own way anymore. After much speculation, Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks and Lindsey Buckingham announced Wednesday the reissue of 'Buckingham Nicks,' more than 50 years after the release of their only full-length album as a duo. Since its initial release in 1973, 'Buckingham Nicks' has never been reissued and is not currently available on streaming platforms. The remastered version arrives Sept. 19 via Rhino Records' high-fidelity series and was sourced from the original analog master tapes. The album will also receive a CD and digital release for the first time, and the opening track, 'Crying in the Night,' was available to stream Wednesday. Buckingham and Nicks were in their early to mid-20s during the making of their album. 'It was a very natural thing, from the beginning,' Nicks says in the re-release's liner notes, written by music journalist David Fricke. Despite their relative inexperience, 'it stands up in a way you would hope it would, by these two kids who were pretty young to be doing that work,' Buckingham says, according to the announcement release. The reissue announcement was foreshadowed by cryptic Instagram posts last week. Both Nicks and Buckingham shared handwritten lyrics to their official social media accounts. 'And if you go forward…' Nicks posted, a line from their song 'Frozen Love,' which appears on 'Buckingham Nicks.' 'I'll meet you there,' Buckingham shared, completing the lyric. In 2011, Buckingham told Uncut that he and Nicks had 'every intention of putting that album back out and possibly even doing something along with it, but I can't put any specifics on that.' In 2013, on the album's 40th anniversary, Fleetwood Mac released 'Extended Play,' their first new studio material since 2003's 'Say You Will.' The four-track collection featured a song titled 'Without You,' which had been originally slated for 'Buckingham Nicks.' The reissued version of 'Buckingham Nicks' features the same album cover as the original, despite Nicks' public dissatisfaction with the photograph, telling classic rock magazine MOJO that she 'felt like a rat in a trap' during the shoot. 'I'm actually quite prudish. So when they suggested they shoot Lindsey and I nude I could not have been more terrified if you'd asked me to jump off a speeding train,' Nicks told MOJO in 2013. 'Lindsey was like, 'Oh, come on — this is art. Don't be a child!' I thought, 'Who are you? Don't you know me?'' 'Buckingham Nicks' was released one year before they joined Fleetwood Mac, and was met with little commercial success. But it did attract the attention of Mick Fleetwood, who invited Buckingham to join Fleetwood Mac. Buckingham in turn insisted Nicks come, too. The two, then a couple, became the central faces, voices and songwriters of the group for the four decades that followed. The pair's tumultuous relationship appeared across the band's discography: She wrote 'Dreams' about him. He wrote 'Go Your Own Way' about her. Infamously, they broke up while writing the 1977 hit album 'Rumours.' Footage of Nicks staring down Buckingham 20 years later during a performance of 'Silver Springs' routinely goes viral ('You'll never get away from the sound of the woman that loves you,' Nicks and Buckingham sing in unison, at one point, holding each other's gaze.) Buckingham left the band in 1987, returning in 1996. The last time the band reunited, however, for a 2018-19 tour, the rest of the members kicked Buckingham out, and as a result, he sued them. He claimed he was told five days after the group appeared at Radio City Music Hall that the band would tour without him. He says he would have been paid at least US$12 million for his share of the proceeds. Later that year, Buckingham said they had settled the lawsuit. Both Buckingham and Nicks have also released reams of solo music. Some fans had theorized that Nicks and Buckingham were teasing a Fleetwood Mac reunion, which would have been the first since the death of vocalist, songwriter and keyboard player Christine McVie in 2022. Last year, Nicks told MOJO that without McVie, 'there is no chance of putting Fleetwood Mac back together in any way.' Maria Sherman, The Associated Press
