At 00:00 on August 28, 2019, Zhong Yixuan, one of the nine major labels in the first season of "Children of Tomorrow", released exclusively on NetEase Cloud Music. The songwriting of this team entitled "When I Think of You In Every Corner of the World" was written by Zhong Yixuan alone, and the production was jointly escorted by the domestic star-making factory Wow and the domestic folk music factory Thirteen Month Culture.
The first original work in adulthood, singing the ignorant love of the sunshine teenager
If you define a year by solar terms, the spring equinox is naturally the starting point for the summer half of the year. The inspiration for "When I Think of You in Every Corner of the World" was on this day of raids, and Zhong Yixuan, who took a nap at home, completed it in half an hour and created the original flavor of an 18-year-old teenager. The lyrics describe each scene of loneliness in their youth: after the young lovers who once snuggled and accompanied each other separated, they still could not let go of each other in their hearts, and the past was vividly remembered. In the spring, everything is revived, all new life begins to repeat itself, and "I start thinking about her again."
"Dreaming / Waking up / No longer struggling / Just let nature take its course", telling the small sorrow of an ignorant teenager like Zhong Yixuan when facing feelings, and also reflects the small growth in love. Maybe the young love is too simple to remember, but when all the plots end, I suddenly understand that life still has to go on as usual, and everything is in this season of spring and morning light.
Producers who have been dormant for many years have made another shot to return the music to its essence
Today, 18-year-old Zhong Yixuan has added a new role to the music he loves: a college student majoring in music production, and has become the first original musician in the strategic cooperation between March Culture and Wow Wow Wow. Those accumulated expressions are quickly finding an outlet, framing a musical world that is perfectly balanced between innocence and maturity.
The upcoming release of Zhong Yixuan's latest EP is personally produced by the famous musician Lu Zhongqiang. Lu Zhongqiang, the founder of March Culture, has another well-known identity as a producer of Old Wolf and Ye Bei, and has also single-handedly discovered and created folk musicians such as Wan Xiaoli, Su Yang, Ma Tiao, and Chen Hongyu. With a high recognition of Zhong Yixuan's ability to create music, after 5 years, Lu Zhongqiang once again came out as a producer. "Zhong Yixuan is the best original folk idol in the new generation", Lu Zhongqiang did not hesitate to praise the singer-songwriter who debuted this idol.
The arranger chosen by Lu Zhongqiang for the EP debut single "Every Corner of the World When You Think of You" is Roberto Zayas, a Paraguayan musician, a super behind-the-scenes producer and known as the "Legend of the Latin Guitar". In order to retain the original melodic color of Zhong Yixuan in the arrangement, Roberto Zayas only uses a classical guitar and a cello to lay the bottom, and the clean melody is matched with the warm voice of Xu Xudao, so that the original teenager's heart naturally flows in the song.
Record yourself in your creations, the thoughts and declarations of 18+1 years old
The meaning of creation is to record life, as Zhong Yixuan said: "When I first wrote songs, I was not good at words, so I slowly got used to writing down the things I encountered in life and the beautiful moments into the songs." Flipping through the songs you've written before reminds you of your current state of mind. Zhong Yixuan wrote his 18+1-year-old distress and growth into the song, recording the present with the most simple musical primary color and the most natural voice of the teenager. This is both his reflection on adulthood and his vision of a new stage.
And Zhong Yixuan's growth will not stop here, it is reported that "When I think of you, you are in every corner of the world" as the first wave of EP on the platform, including 3 works of Zhong Yixuan's new personal EP "Summer Half Year in the Northern Hemisphere" will be released exclusively on September 23 on NetEase Cloud Music.
