In the ninth year of Pan Yuwen's official becoming a singer, he met a new music Bole and handed over his new EP "Nine Years". Whether it is for him personally, or for many fans who have been waiting for him to launch a new work for a long time, the ep title can be said to be full of laughter, sweat and stories! From participating in the "Super Walk of Fame" in 2007 to signing a record company to become a newcomer in the music industry, Pan Yuwen's struggle in the pop music world can be said to have not been so smooth. Like many people who insist on their dreams, they always need to muster up enough courage to pass the hurdles on the road full of thorns, in order to finally bloom their unique light.
If you look at it again, it belongs to the song clip that Pan Yuwen sang in the talent show, and the judges of the program at that time even claimed to him that there were indeed many people who had great expectations for his future development in music. Whether it is a cover of other people's songs, or a personal work launched in the later stage, his slightly warm and penetrating voice will make people hear the personality and taste of Pan Yuwen as a professional singer. However, everything seems to be very good, but often the results are not so fulfilling, so he released his first album "Dreams. think. After "Home", he once again returned to the dream road of his own. In 2012, he produced his own independent release of the two albums "Listen to Clarke", through a very personalized electronic, rock, lyrical pop and other diversified genres, but also let fans discover pan Yuwen's talented side - fill in the lyrics. Once, Pan Yuwen, who was praised by the judges and teachers on the talent show as "having the ability to interpret songs into stories", through two works "Can't Wait to Love" and "Good", turned those pieces taken from life into words, and then brought the audience closer to a more real him through singing.
After nearly five years of disobedience, Pan Yuwen's latest EP "Nine Years" can be said to be a sample of his own past mental journey in three of the works. Like the time number in the title, the hardships, pleasures and loneliness along the way were recorded by him with his songs. However, unlike what he heard from his first two albums, he rediscovered his musical dreams, whether it is in his personal image, or the style, or the mood and story expressed from the lyrics, it will make fans feel the changes in his past few years. Just like doing "Nine Years" on the spot, although it is still a love song, compared with Pan Yuwen's early works depicting the wind, flowers, snow and moon, and small love, it will make people feel a sense of beauty and shock sublimated from the word "love". As he sang in the song, "How unforgettable you are, how brave I am!" Through this song, the audience will hear directly see his bravery and dedication to love, and will be deeply shocked by the obsession with love recorded in the lyrics. Pan Yuwen's slightly mournful voice, accompanied by a piano with a gloomy color, makes this "Nine Years" the most tear-jerking and moving song among the three new works.
Compared with the slightly popular love song routine of the EP mid-topic works, the other two works included will be relatively more personal, and through the impact and superposition of different styles, the audience will be like a different Pan Yuwen after rebirth. "Don't Pick", which has a very Indie Rock flavor, no matter the style, or the lyrics of the lyrics, as well as Pan Yuwen's casual singing, is the most relaxed and casual song in this "Nine Years". It can even be said that the colorful curiosity of the unknown world depicted in that song, coupled with the whistle that accompanies the melody, will create a wonderful feeling for the listener to travel with headphones on.
As the opening of "Utopian Train", for Pan Yuwen, who has not been released for several years, it is definitely a heavy "gift" he has re-embarked on this journey and handed over to music fans! From the melody point of view, the song composed by the original creative talent Cai Minyou has enough emotional tension, and in the arrangement, it is cleverly through the mixing and matching of different elements and styles, to combine the different emotions contained in each word and sentence in the lyrics, and to arrange the different emotions through the fall of the melody. The lyrics from Chen Xinyan's hand can be said to also give the audience enough drama to be heartfelt and resonant. Pan Yuwen has been running on the road to his dreams all these years, and the different moods he has encountered, such as heartache, loneliness, and beautiful expectations for his dreams, are completely recorded. Therefore, through this song that mixes EDM with orchestral music, piano music and other elements, Pan Yuwen is more like shouting out to all those who have been touched by his singing: Let me, who you have waited for a long time, come back!
From the draft contestants, to being created as an idol newcomer singer, to writing songs and independent self-financing films, in the nine years along the way, although Pan Yuwen has not been as popular as some singers who debuted at the same time, he has used his own efforts and hard work to create his own unique light and charm. The new EP "Nine Years", through three works, let all the listeners appreciate, his unique musical taste and unique vocal cultivation, but also further expressed his determination to re-energize in 2017 with his singing, "All the way fearless, if you have a dream, you are not tired!"
