If you want to talk about the most popular words and phrases in the last year, "duck" can definitely come to the forefront! In the first half of 2018, when chatting, everyone did not popularize this word, thinking that it was written wrong, and later with too many people using it, this word is getting hotter and hotter.
"Duck" is equivalent to "ya" on the Internet, and it looks cute and playful after harmonic sound, which is very funny. No, not only is it widely used by everyone in chat, but even singers in the Chinese music scene have begun to use this harmonic tone to make songs.
Just today, January 28, mainland pop singer Jiang Xueer released a new song "Happy Duck", the melody is cheerful, the main Theme of the New Year, look at the name to know what the style is. As sung in this song, I would like to wish you all a Happy New Year in advance!
"Happy Duck" is very good, Jiang Xueer's tone is a bit hoarse, with this cheerful, strong contrast actually makes people feel extremely kind. It was really in this January that the fans received a musical surprise in advance.
In fact, it is also a bit of a pity, Jiang Xueer has been singing for many years, and has always had a high popularity on the Internet, but I like Jiang Xueer, not because of her popular songs in previous years, about the beginning of 2018, I only came into contact with her music, but the regret with happiness is that since I was fascinated by Jiang Xueer's music, my entire 2018 has become a lot brighter, a lot of happiness, sadness, I have found a response in Jiang Xueer's music, thus finding some strength to move forward in many lonely times.
So, with this song "Happy Duck" today, I would like to review our 2018 with all the fans. This year, the name Jiang Xueer is absolutely unavoidable, although throughout 2018, many singers have a bright performance, but the singer Jiang Xueer is also excellent. Today we will take a look at whether the good music from Jiang Xueer that has accompanied me in the past year will have the one you like.
First of all, in addition to "Happy Duck", Jiang Xueer also released the first new single of the year "Like You" in early January 2019. Many people feel that after the Lunar New Year is over, 2018 is really over, and I am the same, so we tentatively think that this "Like You" is not only a new surprise brought to us by Jiang Xueer in 2019, but also a successful end to 2018 for all music fans.
I want to say that this song is a little different from the previous impression of Jiang Xueer, and the extra psychedelic and lazy in the song almost surrounds me. No wonder when I first came into contact with her music, I saw many fans calling Jiang Xue'er a "coffee girlfriend".
"Like You" is a cup of coffee that is a little bitter, and in the process of tasting, it is inevitable to be intoxicated. But the difference is that this bitterness has some more factors of relief, and this song can also clearly feel her great progress this year, and the overall singing style and mood are also much more rounded and full than the previous songs. Moreover, the interpretation of this song "Like You" made me instantly reproduce the feelings and feelings when I first heard Karen Mok's "Cloudy Days".
It's only been two months since the last time Jiang Xue'er touched me. In early November 2018, Jiang Xue'er released the song "Ronin Heartbreak", thinking that it was a song about small love and small love, but it turned out to be based on the theme of loneliness and wandering, and one beat and one beat on the hearts of listeners.
The overall structure of "Ronin Heartbreak" is very brilliant, not the usual "main song plus chorus" model, but the structure of "main song plus chorus, chorus, and chorus". In a song, there are three climactic passages, but each place is completely different from the previous one, which can be called amazing.
When the first chorus "Oh /Nayiye", like a gentle hume, Jiang Xue'er's deep voice has brought people to a high place, and everyone's emotions want to be released at this time. Then, the two consecutive choruses were connected, and the design was simply pleasant, and each time it touched people's hearts more and more. At this moment, with Jiang Xue'er's long tail notes "helpless ~~", "blank ~~", "heartbreak ~~", all the worries finally dissolved. Jiang Xue'er brought us the comfort of many wanderers, and I received it steadily.
"Ronin Heartbreak" will be red every time you hear it, that heavy sense of life, Jiang Xue'er did not hesitate to give us a new note with "another way".
Also related to the themes of "wandering" and "growth", there is also a "City", which is also a new song published by Jiang Xueer in early 2018.
"The City" tells a sad emotional story, but the melody is indeed unusually cheerful, and this contrast is amazing of the ingenuity of the arrangement. Don't indulge in emotional troubles, this is the consistent expression that Jiang Xueer wants to do with everyone.
In fact, most of Jiang Xueer's songs are related to love, not humble, occasionally sad, but the whole is full of philosophy and positive, in addition to "This City", "Peaceful Breakup" is the same.
"Peaceful Breakup" in September 2018 was the beginning of my love for Jiang Xue'er, before I occasionally listened to her songs in the early stage of 2018, after this song, I liked her very much, so that I listened to almost all her songs, and also began my fan road.
The concept advocated by "Peaceful Breakup" is: to break up with each other, not to lose, but to give each other a chance to find a more suitable way to fall in love. I didn't actually understand this truth before, but with the passage of time and the gradual maturity, I also realized that loving someone is not possessive, and finding the right person is the most important. All our lives, many times we are looking for it, most people, this is the case.
If each of us can be so free, can we avoid a lot of heartbreak? "Peaceful Breakup" seems to be a perfect response, and "Lost Love Character" is also a new song published by Jiang Xueer at the same time.
The lyrics say: I can finally play the role of lovelorn / Silence behind people, no longer Tuotuo / Although this result is not wanted / But I let go of my attachment and learn to be free...
Jiang Xueer's songs are like this, most of them have a sad taste, but they give people an outlet for relief, she uses music and uses her own stories to bring the audience a way to solve problems. However, we also know that some things cannot be faced with simple relief and freedom.
When "A Lifetime Waits for You" was released, Jiang Xue'er said that this was the first time that the single looped her own song all day, and she cried very sadly after listening to it, which reminded her of a lot of the past. The protagonist in the song did not wait for the person he liked in the end, so he could only keep this heartbeat in his heart forever. Jiang Xue'er's singing like a cry made people sad and almost shed tears.
Not only are the songs well-made, but the promotional cover of "A Lifetime is Waiting for You" is also well-intentioned. The team adopts the way of Jiang Xueer one person decorating two corners, men and women take half of their faces, and combine them into this model, handsome and beautiful style, which makes people fall in love.
In addition to these high-quality singles, in August 2018, Jiang Xueer also released a studio album "Sing with Me", and the album contains 14 new songs, almost all of which are newly created, and are not a summary of the singles just mentioned. From this point of view, Jiang Xueer has published nearly 30 new songs in the past year, which is still a large number for a singer.
In addition to the number of surprises, the quality of these songs is also obvious to all, in addition to the above recommended songs are very beautiful, the songs in "Sing with Me" are also different in style and style, and everyone can find their favorite works.
Jiang Xue'er wrote a song of her own in "Sing with Me", called "Jiang Xue'er Is Not Red", she made fun of herself, and wrote the jokes of her friends saying that she was not red into the song, which seemed like a bit of a bitter joke, but the whole melody was fresh and cheerful. This song was unforgettable to me the first time I listened to it.
Everyone's unremitting efforts in their own fields, the final result is also praised by some people, some people have never heard of, this is the norm of our lives. Many listeners think that many of Jiang Xueer's songs before 2018 are very good, and they thought she was very popular very early, but I only began to like her in 2018 and thought she was still quite popular. But there are also fans, in the exclusion and selection of tens of thousands of good songs, missed Jiang Xueer, not to mention red or not red, may not even be who she is, even if a song has not been heard, this is not surprising, this is also the norm of singers.
However, no matter what, there is no doubt that whether it is red or not, Jiang Xueer's 2018 is diligent, hard-working and fruitful, and I hope that everyone who likes music can find some content they need from today's sharing. For me, of course, more is to thank, Jiang Xueer's cup of mellow "coffee", accompanied me through the unforgettable 2018, many of my thoughts have found a response in her music, she is the "coffee girlfriend" in the mouth of fans, and I hope that more people in the future can experience the bittersweet and sadness in the future in the company of Jiang Xueer.
