Autumn Heart
album by Prudence Liew
秋心 Autumn Heart is the ninth studio album of cantopop singer Prudence Liew, released in December 1992.
Background information
The Chinese title of the album is derived from the two characters autumn (秋) and heart (心) that combine to form the portmanteau Chinese character, sorrow (愁). The hidden meaning of the title is that the album deals with songs of sorrow and woe. The lead single to the album, "舊曲新愁 (Old Song, New Sorrow)" is arranged into two different versions in the album: A Some Version is arranged in a more traditional Chinese way with the inclusion of Yangqin in the music background. A Heartache Version is more modern with a stronger beat and urban feel to the song.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Autumn Heart” as album by Prudence Liew. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the arts & letters register because the source frames it as album by Prudence Liew. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Object files, edition statements, performance records and contemporary criticism preserve different stages of the work’s history. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 12, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q4827152. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1992.
Rights, attribution and provenance may remain disputed even when a general reference summary presents a stable account. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
