You may not know the name Liu Fengyao, but you must have heard the songs he wrote, as well as the works he made. You can be as cautious as you like, and you can even deliberately avoid the name, but it is no exaggeration to say that the result is doomed to nowhere to escape. Especially in this autumn-winded September, you want to avoid anything about Liu Fengyao... That's wishful thinking!
From the QQ Music Popularity Peak Chart to iQiyi's "Chinese Music Billboard", in this September, Liu Fengyao's works will always appear in your unprepared, so that you do not have a little defense, it has existed in your deep mind.
For example, Liu Yuning, a modern brother who has recently been quite popular, has launched three works in succession, which is actually an infighting in Liu Fengyao's creative world, and it is Liu Fengyao and Liu Fengyao themselves who "love and kill each other". Because, the songwriting, production and harmony of these three works are all Liu Fengyao herself ("Love Language 1910" has Ershui participating in the filling of words).
Wang Bowen, who is also on the "China Music Billboard", is also a work created and produced by Liu Fengyao. A seemingly lonely love song, presented with the tension of rock and roll, has also become a representative work of Wang Bowen's return to the music scene after a year. At the same time, Wang Bowen's previous singles, as well as the entire EP album of "W.BOWEN", Liu Fengyao also took on the work of creation and production, becoming a designer of Wang Bowen's music.
In addition, the opening song and ending song of the super web drama "Wait until the smoke is warm and rainy", Jinchi's latest album, Sha Baoliang's nearly half a year or so on, are also songs created by Liu Fengyao. Singers such as Chen Jieyi and Li Jiuzhe have also had a lot of cooperation with Liu Fengyao. And now in the popular costume drama "Ruyi Zhuan", the interlude of "The Oblique Sun Sends the Geese flying, don't ask when to return", its producer, backing vocals and harmony are also Liu Fengyao. The theme song sung by Ma Tianyu in another drama series "Liangsheng Can We Not Be Sad" is also produced by Liu Fengyao.
Even if you don't listen to new songs and don't watch new dramas, then in the recent talent show, Gou Hanzhong and Zhang Chaonan in "This is a Duet" sang, and Bi Xiaoxin in the new season of "The Voice of China" covered by Liu Fengyao are also Liu Fengyao's original works. And now the divine comedy "The Rest of My Life", which is very popular on Douyin, its latest adapted version is also from Liu Fengyao's hand.
In the future, you can also see the name Liu Fengyao in the works of singers such as Yang Kun and Zhang Xinyao. In the upcoming TV series "City of Desire", there are also many pieces of music that are the works of Liu Fengyao.
Such a bursting Liu Fengyao, he does not swell, fans will swell for him!
For a musician, the work is his best business card. Especially for all-round musicians like Liu Fengyao, who can write and sing, who can not only focus on the details of harmony, but also grasp the overall situation in the production angle, because of the work and let their names appear frequently, it comes from the construction of brick by brick, and it is not possible to be a little bubble and false. Such fame and popularity are all he deserves, and he can truly become the power of an example.
Through the analysis of the essence of the results, Liu Fengyao can get a blast-like growth in the near future, not only to produce a large number of works, but also to maintain the top position of these works, naturally inseparable from his ingenuity and strength in the field of music creation and production.
One thing I've noticed in particular is that don't think of harmony as accompaniment, from early Taiwanese campus folk songs to post-international R&B.
Like the foil and three-dimensional role played by Liu Yuning's voice line in "Love Language 1910", like in Jinchi's "Each Gets Its Own Place", the echo of "each gets its own place" through harmony, and even the echo of the album theme "Me and Me", the harmony has played a quite key role, and also makes the work have a more artistic three-dimensional depth while maintaining fluency.
On the other hand
For example, in works such as "Each Gets Its Own Place" and "White and Black", he pays great attention to the range of the melody in his creation, and dramatizes it in the production to enhance the overall musical tension and let Jinchi's vocal potential be completely released.
In the cooperation with the modern brother Liu Yuning, Liu Fengyao not only uses pure rock music to create a highly recognizable musical personality of the modern brother Liu Yuning through the two works of "Explorer" and "Imagination", but also activates the voice potential of the modern brother Liu Yuning through excellent judgment.
In particular, the work "Imagination", as the first personal work of the modern brother Liu Yuning in the true sense, has a rigid and soft and soft style of psychedelic rock and roll, which not only allows Liu Yuning to break through the platform limitations of the previous online live performance, but also determines his future musical direction.
However, Liu Fengyao's more valuable point is that he does not create and produce music, but only treats it as a processing material. At least at this stage, Liu Fengyao's attitude towards music is definitely not licensed and modeled. Although he will create works according to the characteristics of singers, he will often "carry bootlegs" in the process.
A work like "Love Language 1910" is a rock work with a strong blues flavor, and this Old Scholl element is also Liu Fengyao's favorite musical style, and it has also become a personal style of his creation. For example, "Noble and Ugly" on his own debut album is typical of this type of work.
This point is reminiscent of Li Zongsheng. Although Li Zongsheng is a custom master in the Chinese music scene, Li Zongsheng's excellence lies in the fact that as a creator and producer, he can often subtly grasp the points of many singers and get their potential, but in this process, he does not lose his own creative essence, so as to get a perfect combination of personal creative recognition and the personal characteristics of the produced singer.
From this point of view, Liu Fengyao will also be this direction of development in the future. And now he has only crossed the first hill.
