Seventeen years ago today, on January 14, 2004, Sun Nan released a new album "Burning". For this album, the story that unfolds around the album title is far more exciting than the song itself!
This is Sun Nan's first album to join Warner Records, as the record company's core weapon for the mainland market, the album is produced with the theme of "showing men's attitudes towards feelings", and famous Taiwanese producers such as Zhou Chuanxiong, Li Weisong and Bao Xiaosong have tailored a number of mainstream love songs with more commercial colors for Sun Nan.
In the face of this transformation, Sun Nan has also made many improvements. In this album, he completely gave up personal creation and musical expression, and only regarded himself as a singer who was only responsible for singing, and willingly acted as a tool to express the creator's ideas.
It is not difficult to find that after entering the new century, Sun Nan is eager to find a breakthrough, and he is not willing to be just a singer who can only sing the main theme of "big songs".
Unfortunately, even if the album includes excellent tracks such as "chemical effect" and "combustion", the main song "Burning" is the 2004 China TOP Chart "Mainland Annual Golden Song" and many other awards, now when we mention Sun Nan's classic songs, the first thing that comes to mind is always "red flag fluttering", "not seen and not scattered" and "you are coming back".
In addition, for this "Burning" album, we still have a puzzled doubt: judging from the album cover, Sun Nan is so thin?
What is more interesting is that on July 17 of the same year, Guo Feng also released an album called "Burning".
It is estimated that many friends will not believe that the biggest gimmick of the album is actually to advocate that the title song "Burning Burning" is the "theme song of the 2008 Olympic Games", and repeatedly emphasize that this song is "the first carefully crafted English original song in the history of Chinese pop music..."
Well, we shouldn't be surprised by all this "rough" propaganda from seventeen years ago!
It's just that compared to Zhuo Yiting, the self-sticking gold of Guo Feng's "Burning" album really doesn't have much value worth complaining about.
Believe it or not, this female singer with sweet songs and most of her works are mainly cover songs, and even launched a cover album called "Burning" on January 7, 2005, a year after the advent of Sun Nan and Guo Feng's "Burning" album.
However, looking at the tracks included in the album, from "East Wind Breaking" and "Waves and Flowers" to "Notepad" and "Meteor Shower", these songs cannot find the slightest sense of "burning".
Could it be that the record company thought that as long as the flame element was added to the album cover, it could name the album "Burning"?
What a "kingly" idea, at this time look at Hong Kong singer Wu Guojing's 1988 "Burning" album, finally enlightened.
Perhaps it is precisely because the album cover gives people a feeling of autumn and winter cold, so even if the album is named "Burning", these two words do not dare to be correctly enlarged, and can only self-reflect, awkwardly obliquely existing in blue font...
What is the continuity and unity of art? Look at this album, silence is better than sound at this time!
