In recent years, the selection of pure singers has become tepid.
"The Voice of China" in the mainland, "Legend of Sound Dreams" in Hong Kong, "King of the Sound Forest" in Taiwan.
The three-slot draft did not have high ratings.
More exaggeratedly, everyone said that they didn't know who the champion was.
Despite this, there are still a lot of high-quality sounds.
For example, Shan Yichun, Yan Mingxi, Bai Lin...
In addition to Shan Yichun, many of the other two champions should be very unfamiliar.
But they all have a characteristic, the sound is colored.
In the process of interpreting the work, the form of the sound changes a lot.
Compared with the original draft, the vocal cavity functions of today's players are more diversified.
Whether it is the program group or the audience, the requirements for their singing are also extremely high, and the super singing ability can no longer meet the audience.
Not long ago, "King of the Sound Forest 3" ended.
Bai Lin became the overall champion of the year.
In my opinion, he, like Shan Yichun, is a talented newcomer with a high IQ in singing.
In addition to having a sexy and full tone, he also has his own logic in dealing with works.
Lyrical while maintaining vocal tension.
On the stage of "King of the Sound Forest", he contributed several high-quality performances.
In the early stage of the chorus, he was actually not outstanding.
Although his voice is very public, it is more disadvantageous in the form of chorus, because the mentor values the cooperation of the players, until he sings solo, And Xu Jiaying and Yu Chengqing directly listen to the dumbfounded.
The first work to go out of the circle was his cover of British singer James Bay's "Scars".
This is a masterpiece of healing the wounds of love.
The original song has its rock and roll nature, but this version replaces it with two folk guitars, making the work softer and more narrative.
Bai Lin's tone is hoarse and grainy, and this kind of sound explosion will be very attractive.
Although the husky tone is no longer an advantage, his Sense of English is rare in the Chinese music scene.
Xu Jiaying even praised his English singing.
"I've heard a lot of Chinese male singers sing live, and I feel as if I haven't sung in English like you."
His singing is diverse and has a strong sense of space.
Even in the face of bass, it can ensure that the singing does not break away from the tension.
The emotional advancement section of the chorus, his singing is even more complete.
Several of the flinging sounds are more like expressions of deep emotion and do not feel contrived.
The biting characters not only maintain Taiwanese emphasis and some American accents, but when they start singing English songs, they exude a British atmosphere, but there is a bit of Chris Martin, James Blunt, James Bay flavor.
I really like the expressiveness of his explosive parts, and his freedom to control the stage and the folk rock style.
In lyrical pop works, his singing of "Love" can also be regarded as a representative of male voices.
In addition to Karen Mok, Yuan Yawei and A-Lin have contributed the ultimate cover songs.
They visualize the pain in love, and the pain that can awaken us from the sound alone.
Emotion is the core point of singing this song well, and if you can't catch it, it's a very bad performance.
From the beginning of Bai Lin's singing to the last sentence, the emotions were very sufficient.
Although the mood is very full, it is less dramatic than the stage singing.
The contrast between strength and weakness is not obvious enough, and the audience's mood will be relatively stable, which is ai Yiliang's small advice to him:
"If you take back the emotions in front of you a little, will it be easier to get goosebumps?"
His voice is wide, giving the listener plenty of room to listen.
In particular, the treatment of the tail note has a propelling effect on emotions.
"Because I'll think of you
I was afraid to face myself
My will is always swallowed up by loneliness."
"You" uses a quick little tremor, which is the physiological response to speaking in times of heartache, and that state of trembling is very painful.
The treatment of tail notes such as "Zhi" and "Phagocytosis" has a feeling of breath swirling, a bit like the hook technique in the guitar.
This kind of singing detail, I prefer to understand it as a natural expression after the true feeling is revealed.
On the stage of the semi-finals, a song "What Made Me Meet You Like This" sang me to the point of chicken skin.
This is the work of Bai An, a buried creative talent.
It's also a pity that the song didn't explode.
This is the best version of a male cover I've ever heard.
The sound retracts freely and is layered.
It was even more acclaimed on YouTube.
"The layers of the song adaptation are well organized, and it is really a very high-level performance."
"No matter the sound quality, skill, and level, they are super temperamental, like princes of the Middle Ages."
In two and a half minutes, he sang out two worlds.
In the first half, he was in a good mood and analyzed himself eloquently.
In the second half he shows a metallic voice, pushing emotion straight to the top.
His tail note is handled very well during the bridge section.
"How do I learn not to be dependent?"
The word "Lai" appeared in three levels from high to low, like a blue bird that had been injured, falling down and trying to fly upwards, but eventually falling to the ground.
The treatment of this sentence is wonderful.
In the comment session, the tutors also gave a high evaluation.
Velian said:
"When the momentum comes, it's very strong."
Yu Chengqing said:
"Bai Lin's performance is relatively comprehensive."
Among the many players, Bai Lin's singing is indeed more comprehensive.
After winning the championship, he quickly became popular in Taiwan.
In fact, he debuted very early, but as a dancer.
He began to enjoy dancing in high school, majoring in dance at Taipei University of the Arts, and then went to New York for further study, where he stood out in the Qina selection and eventually joined the Wayne McGregor Dance Company in the United Kingdom.
During his days of wandering overseas, he also began to compose music.
Music is a powerful tool for him to channel his emotions, and integrates these fragments of emotion scattered overseas into a piece of music.
In 2019, he released an EP "Infinity in the Whirlpool" at his own expense, and the 6 works included in the collection were all his originals.
It was because of this album that he was seen by Sony and signed a contract with a manager in 2020, thus entering the pop music industry.
After he sang the theme song "My Love" for "Tears of Vulcan", he began to be noticed by some people, and it was not until he participated in "King of the Sound Forest 3" that he officially entered the public eye.
A few days after winning the championship, he released the original "Butterfly" while it was hot.
The song is good.
Without a complicated arrangement, the melody is enough to make people cycle many times.
Composition, singing, dancing, and instrumental performance are his strengths.
As a new singer, it is rare to have such comprehensive skills, and the focus is that he has also grown an idol temperament.
The emergence of Bai Lin has enriched the diversified ways of processing songs in the music world.
If he wants to go further, he also needs to work creation.
At present, although the melodies he creates are very pleasant, they lack personal characteristics.
Original work didn't make me look at his competitiveness.
He still has a long way to go to compete for the top spot in the music world.
If you can go to the mainland, you will inevitably attract countless fans, just like Yan Mingxi, the champion of Hong Kong's "Legend of Sound Dreams", will definitely shine in the mainland music roundup "Sound and Endless" this year.
Anyway, for such an attractive male voice, I look forward to his subsequent development.
