Wei Tour's first solo album "My Light" allows us to hear a rare and valuable quality - that is, to use the musical works themselves to expound the concept of records, without a series of words piled up, casual and frank, and simply expound the beautiful original intention of making music. We take the songs we actually hear as the fulcrum, and through its unified and complete style appeal, we understand the style concept of the whole album, without any self-promotion about theory, positioning, singing, and innovation. At the beginning of the release of the lead single, Wei Tour did not explain anything in detail, starting from the first single "IT'S OKAY", everything was in a down-to-earth song. We heard a little bit of vintage dance music, a little bit of fresh Funk, a little bit of something new to what the public expected, or maybe it was the unforgettable color of the cover of the single. Since then, one new song after another has been filled with surprises until "My Light" is fully presented, and Wei Tour has completed the process of interpreting the concept with the music itself. It was retro-fashioned, against the times but ahead of trends; it was electronically rhythmic, and it was not limited to body dance, but extended to the spiritual world.
According to a certain stereotype, Wei Tour should probably release a record that is more suitable for the popular market — at least the first record can do so. But Wei Tour is not a simple idol singer after all, and for singer-songwriters with ideas, stereotypes are invalid. "My Light" in addition to the first "will remember" tends to be slow, the rest of the works are wandering in the rich retro dance music light, and the Funk, Rock, Future, Trap, Trip-hop and other styles are integrated, the whole record sounds amazing, the arrangement has texture, the song is both audible and popular, the listening process stimulates the rhythm of the body and mind, and there is no perfunctory and homogeneous cheap bubble gum dance music.
"My Light" has been so effective, and in general, it is attributed to three points. First of all, it is Wei Tour's hard power to lead the production and songwriting in "My Light". After the idol aura came out, Wei Tour has shown people his ability to sing and sing, his talent and technology are exported to musical works, and the new songs have a seriousness from an angle. "My Light" does not use the traditional popular and flattering practices, but also emphasizes Wei Tour's ability and courage as a producer.
In addition, the ten works of "My Light" all have the characteristics of being deeply rooted in professional music technology and showing rich spiritual charm. Including the first song "Will Remember"--the plump preparation, the situation of entering the play, the weak harmonic technique highlighting Wei Tour's singing, the clean and pure timbre, close to the ear and the release of continuous sensibility. The melody moves with a bit of unique coldness, a hint of jazz style emerging from the corner of the auditory sense, and also shows the texture and taste of Wei Tour's music. "Remembering", as the only slow song on the album, becomes a very special and infectious presence at the beginning, and creates an immersive texture of Live.
Later works are written in one go, immersed in a rich retro dance music style, using electronic or rock as a carrier, showing every ray of emotional sunshine recorded by Wei Tour in different creative times. "So, So, So, So" is a classic 90s pop taste, the orchestra is diverse and comprehensive, the orchestra style pays tribute to the classic Shaoguang, the thick lyrics and stories go ups and downs; "My Light" takes people to jump into the Disco dance floor, bass playing brings Daft Punk-like depth psychedelic, Wei Tour's plastic tone is also transformed into vocal instrumental music; from the short but not perfunctory music "XXX", a strong dramatic mood is integrated into "One", grainy sampled sound effects, Brings a rich creative layer to rock and roll, and trip-hop's intriguing spirit.
The works in the second half of the album also pay attention to the representative - "Fight the Monster" emphasizes Wei Tour's singing mood, the drama in the voice is full of drama, the lyrics of "crying that the world is too realistic and magical/ Laughing and saying that big ups and downs are the norm", from his singing voice, people understand three points; "Can't Sleep" integrates the innovative ASRM listening enjoyment into the song, and the happiness brought by the chorus part is more impressive; "Girl" hides a classical romance, and the dense house rhythm makes people immersed in the distant rhythmic world and constantly swaying. The last song, "The Forest of Chamboga", silently joins the flexible world music style in the dance music, and the new era electronic music is combined with the retro Disco, just like the light of the two eras is intertwined.
The third point that makes "My Light" deeply effective is the deep bond between Wei Tour and this album. As a mature performer, a singer with a work, a producer with both thinking ability and professional skills, "My Light" is not to please any needs, but to be its own light - this is an important reason why it is moving from its roots. Wei Tour also said succinctly (but very clearly) in the copy: This album is to express his life, ten songs are different ten colors, representing different moods, embarrassment and helplessness, dilemma and loneliness, but also touched and hopeful. If hope does not die, there is my light in my heart.
Before "My Light" gets the love of every fan, it first gets the singer's own deep love, because that is his life, his blooming light. (Text/Silent Phone)
