6年前，本地艺人瑞恩（芮恩）发第一张专辑《芮恩》，唱片公司替她改名芮恩，并为她设计的造型和歌路，让她似穿上不适合自己的“外套”。现在，瑞恩脱掉“外套”，以本名瑞恩推出第二张专辑《共和国》，做回自己。

日前，瑞恩为宣传新专辑接受访问。新专辑等了6年，她说：“当年，唱片公司为我打制造型和歌路，甚至连我的名也换了，但那不是我，像穿了一件不舒服、不自然的‘外套’，但我是新人，只好默默接受。所以，我在新专辑要换回原名。”

在歌唱领域像井底蛙

隔 了多年再发片，瑞恩坦承演艺圈比她想象中复杂，“开始会失望，比如不知道自己为什么要拍戏，也不懂出专辑是怎么回事，在成长过程摸索了6年。上张专辑，我 不了解自己在做什么，像不明白公司为什么要为我改名。音乐方面，他们叫我唱当时很流行的R&B，专辑一半是R&B的歌，剩下5首属比较酷 风格，反而这5首让我比较自在。有些歌是方文山的词，很深奥，我都不知道自己在唱什么！造型方面，他们让我剪蘑菇头，很奇怪，像是为了不同而剪。”

在 新专辑《共和国》，瑞恩不设任何主题，“当成日记般，写自己想表达的华，做自己，舒服就好。”专辑收录了8首瑞恩的歌词，她3年前开始写歌，公司从她写的 100作品中挑出8首。其中一首《青蛙》，透露瑞恩自觉像井底蛙的感慨。她说：“我从开始唱歌，接着演戏再回去唱歌，有时会觉得自己像井底蛙一直在跳，不 知道井外发生什么事。”

“七公主”封号没意义

虽然瑞恩在戏剧领域被“封”为七公主之一，她说：“我不是‘公主’，那只是另一个‘外套’，我想靠自己的表现证明自己，这个封号对我没有意义。”

近年，瑞恩在演艺方面获得观众的肯定，她没有因此想过放弃歌唱，“戏里，我是演一个角色。唱歌的时候，我可以释放、发泄内心的情绪。虽然演戏的道路比唱歌的来得顺利，我不会只选比较好走的路，会继续唱歌，希望下张专辑不用再等6年。”

During her primary and secondary school years in Singapore Chinese Girls’ School, she felt she was from the wrong socio-economic class. “If you go to SCGS and you’re not rich, it just makes it worse. From that point on, I was always an outsider looking in.”

外一章：高人一等

【台庆】之夜，众星无不精心打扮。今年，女星们造型的焦点所在，几乎全在脚下。

只见女星们鐘琴、范文芳、刘芷绚、芮恩，一个穿得比一个高，几乎人人踩着5寸高跟鞋进场，让男士们“矮了一截”！
