"Bass, how many more do you want?"
"A few of them are ignored!"
"Is it really a band desert?"
Zuo Xiaozu's new album "A Bass Guitarist" was released on the first day of the last month of 2020.
It seems to be ending this turbulent year, but it is also a harbinger of a new beginning.
Zuo Xiaozu Mantra - "A Bass Guitarist"
The album "A Bass Guitarist" was basically formed in 2017, and the participating singers, without exception, were all here: lead singer!
The 9 singles on this album were all played by a bass, but none of them were played with funks.
Bass is there all the time, but the audience's attention is diverted by the constantly changing lead singer, and there is no bass at all.
The bassist of the album, Meng Fandi's tears slid from the corners of his mouth...
Meng Fandi & Zuo Xiaozu Spell
Zuo Xiaozu spell this year can be said to be highly prolific, from the album "Taiwan" at the beginning of the year to the "Tashi Zhilin" that can be surpassed after listening to it, and then to today's "A Bass Guitarist", the style and theme of each album are particularly prominent.
"A Bass Guitarist" revolves around "love" and finally repeats the same mistakes, portraying the love of a girl from different moods, different scenes, and different contrasts.
Among them, the single "Like It More" to "Love You The Most" has formed a cute stage development, and the transition from "like" to "love" is subtle and understands everything. Single dogs and bassists don't talk.
The core of the final album is summed up with a lyric from the song of the same name, "A Bass Guitarist": "Don't be a girl who only knows art.
This album is a big move in Zuo Xiaozu's several albums this year, after all, the dream linkage has linked so many "big names" in the niche music circle.
There are people who play disco, New Wave, world music, national rock, folk songs, and any musical style that plays on an entire album, but no one is playing what they are good at.
After all, they were all clearly arranged by Zuo Xiaozu, and they played a bass to see who sang without worrying?
#张蔷 - "Excitement" "The Imagination of a Fool"
Zhang Qiang
In the single "Excitement", Zhang Qiang still maintains a pure natural electric singing voice, but the whole song is not as "exciting" as the name.
Because it is creating a "stupid" lonely miss her dynamic, the kiss that once made him unable to forget the beautiful touch...
Zhang Qiang is known as "China's Disco Empress" and "China's Donna Summer".
At the age of 19, he appeared as the first Chinese singer in the American "Time" weekly magazine, even higher than Teresa Teng's ranking.
Later, because of his studies, he decided to suspend the promising musical path. It wasn't until 2013 that the more successful comeback album "Don't Ask Me What Disco Is" was released.
This album is a gift to people who have experienced the "Disco, Lotus" era, and the retro beat constantly stirs up thousands of waves in the mind, knocking the memory sunk in the deep sea out of the water.
This year, Zhang Qiang's return performance at the New Year's Eve party of the small broken station made her suck a wave of back wave powder.
And Zuo Xiaozu spelled "Excitement" as the first song of the album, just like Zhang Qiang's return = the beginning of the new album: continue to be brilliant.
#周云蓬 & Yangima - "That Night" "The Dream of a Fool"
Zhou Yunpeng
The idiot was tired and slept. I started dreaming.
I think back to the bits and pieces of the past with her.
"And I can only live for one hundred and twenty years, and at best I will live for two hundred years."
In fact, living for 80 years, I can't wait for her to come back.
Love will make you melancholy, and melancholy will make Zhou Yunpeng write poetry. Writing poetry will make Yangjima sing, singing is not for Zuo Xiaozu mantra, singing is for us to ignore the bass player...
Zhou Yunpeng is like the Ray Charles of the Chinese folk music industry, blind at the age of 9, began to write poetry at the age of 21, and began to drift aimlessly at the age of 24...
In 2011, his poetic work "Love That Can't Speak" won the Poetry Award of the 2011 People's Literature Award. In the same year, he began to be active on the stage of major music festivals.
Some people think that this song is writing Zhou Yunpeng, writing his relationship story with the Green Demon...
#央吉玛 - "The Unsolvable Secret" "Animal in Heat"
Only understand, not speak directly.
Many people say that the lyrics are written so badly, but the two of them sing the song to Hades.
There is no longer any lust, no ambiguity.
Some people even said that they would make up the picture of Yang Jima and Zuo Xiaozu's spell, and then cut the song, not to mention Zuo Xiaozu's "soft animal"... lsp up
Yang jima is an ethnic minority woman from Tibet, and her natural holy land temperament makes many people feel untouchable.
In the early days, Yangjima had not yet clarified his positioning, and in 2009, Yangjima joined the Band of The Great Forgetful Bar and officially became a singer.
In 2013, "The Voice of Chinese Dreams" won the runner-up, which really made the public recognize the Memba singer.
Perhaps it is too mediocre and popular, or the song "The Unsolvable Secret" is too challenging, so that many people feel that this should not be sung by Yang Jima, which is completely inconsistent with her positioning.
Maybe this is the chemical reaction after cooperating with Zuo Xiaozu Spell!
# "Love You More", "Love You The Most" Jump, Lick the Dog's Light!
Xu Fei
From Xu Fei singing "Take Me Away, I Love You" in "Love You More", to Lin Bian singing "Dear Love Me" in "Love You The Most".
The "idiot" on the album doesn't seem to have to lick the dog anymore? But isn't the salted fish still salted after turning over?
The second-hand Rose lead singer Liang Long's duo quickly dragged the audience back to reality, and reality was just a dream!
#新裤子, Tan Weiwei, and Hua Congee's commercial touting trilogy
New Pants Band
Sandwiched between "More Like" and "Love You The Most", the three touted songs, the new pants "You are a honey", Tan Weiwei's "Flamingo Eyelashes", and the flower porridge "Beautiful Life".
Peng Lei, the lead singer of the new pants, is not a new wave at all this time, let alone disco, but the way of singing is more and more post-punk. There is a sense of New Order transforming into Joy Division, a large-scale return scene?
Zuo Xiaozu's spell really loves to use people indiscriminately...
Tan Weiwei
This is not the end, Tan Weiwei, who is good at high notes, has also been lowered by a few keys, as if a louder voice will break the album's sexual cold tone... However, Tan Weiwei still has room for show flowers.
It's like you're winning a game in the middle of the night but don't dare to shout, for fear of waking up your girlfriend.
That flower porridge... This niche singer who has been out of the circle because of the "plagiarism" storm really has nothing to say.
Flower porridge
Then book a wave of suspected plagiarism in advance: "Flower Porridge & Zuo Xiaozu's new song "Beautiful Life" is suspected of plagiarizing Tina Turner's classic song "The Best". ”
The above three songs are all "transitional" works, and friends who want to save time can directly cut to "Love You The Most".
#二手玫瑰 - A Bass Guitarist "Woke Up"
Second-hand Rose lead singer Liang Long
The wisest part of the album is to let Zhang Rose open and end with a second-hand rose.
Zhang Qiang's true voice heralded the beginning of the dream, and the voice of Liang Long, the lead singer of the second-hand rose, constantly reminded the audience: "Wake up! Get back to reality! Get back to reality! ”
"A Bass Guitarist" the song of the same name, as the last song of the album, represents the end of the dream and the beginning of reality, the sweet and painful beginning of love. This album is the dead loop of emotional life.
From imagining dreams, waking up, imagining again...
Not long after the release of the new album, many people shouted "bull", and many people felt that Zuo Xiaozu's curse had changed. It has become different from before, the sound has become too decayed, the new album is like a crematorium to buy a CD to make a BGM, it has become a family member who doubts his own taste...
Maybe this gloomy way of singing makes people feel uncomfortable, after all, it has been touching a small fresh little love song, or because of love and hate this and that, suddenly hearing this different thing, temporarily accepting incompetence.
There are still obvious differences between the style of niche singers and the aesthetics of the masses.
Maybe this is the clustering of things? The balance between the two types of people is an indissoluble secret...
In fact, everyone is a bass guitarist, a band is a world, have you ever felt that in this world, you are alone?
His ta has nothing to do with you until he meets nata, who fills your gray life with color.
And when you lose it, you can only be like a bass player, and you can only roar with bass.
The voice is so small that no one notices you, and finally you can only sigh that you have had a beautiful life...
And then the cycle, the cycle, the cycle, the cycle, the cycle, the cycle,
In the end, you can only get back those fragments of memory from the music, immerse yourself in it, can't extricate yourself, and don't want to come out, because it feels good.
The old net is cloudy
