What is the strongest recognition of Su Yunying? spirituality. One thing about spirituality is that the extraordinary creations that come out of the rush of inspiration should be able to understand that feeling. Whether it is melody or lyrics, Su Yunying's works often have attempts beyond conventional expectations. After hearing her third album, Su Yunying, I had another level of understanding of her spirituality: freedom and relaxation rooted in life.
What I want to express is that Su Yunying's spirituality stems from her love for life. Extending to music creation, many of her out-of-bounds ideas are because they are completely immersed in the context of life, which can be carried out casually, without regard to the rules of popularization.
Compared with the singers who abide by the routine, Su Yunying naturally shows valuable spirituality.
In this way, the criterion for judging the success of her work is relatively clear: whether it leaves enough room for her to exert her spirituality. I personally feel that the album "Su Yunying" is intended to protect the spirituality that belongs to her. Named after "Su Yunying", this distinct main perspective is full of authorial meaning. The biggest feature of the strong authorship is that the personal style dominates all the time. There is not much problem in the creation, Su Yunying is independently responsible for the songwriting of the album's 12 songs, and each capital is her one-shot expression. The production of this invitation to Arai Eleven teachers to jointly take charge, further strengthened her true color, or rather, she can "do my own thing". Judging from this, the album "Su Yunying" is really a success.
After understanding this information, you should probably understand that the most important thing in the album "Su Yunying" is "accident".
The opening scene immediately appears "unexpected", "Foreground", to see if the song title is particularly like the Intro set for the entire album? It does have this feature, but it's not an Intro-style piece of music. To be precise, this song is a song that makes a fragment of Su Yunying's life, in which she hums the lyrics, opens the refrigerator, takes out the food, pours water, puts the pot, lights the gas stove... It's hard to hear these without associating with documentaries. And it was in the confusion that I suddenly realized the wonderful.
The magic lies in the daily sounds such as pots and pans in the song, which are as musical as musical instruments; the wonderful thing is that Su Yunying sometimes sings and sometimes dialogues, and the rhythm control is quite exquisite, which is essentially a musical presentation. In the end, "Prospect" achieves a fusion of life and music.
This epitomizes Su Yunying's thinking this time, so that music churns out of life and music returns to life. Let's look at the song "Night Makes People Think", 5 minutes and 27 seconds? Such a long time is already different from the ordinary, so the question is how to fill the entire work with self-consistent content?
There is a sense of design here, and the song is divided into two levels through the contrast of speed before and after the song, the front part is relatively gentle, and the rear part is turned sharply. So, in the end, "Night Makes People Think" can be the effect of two songs joining together. At first I thought it was a little strange, but after thinking about it twice, I thought it was very clever. Because only such a wild jump is the most in line with the scene of "night makes people think". To put it bluntly, these 5 minutes and 27 seconds are for you to follow Su Yunying for a real sense of "wild thinking".
On weekdays, we are too open to let go, and we need to completely let go of Su Yunying's music. She does not lead us into a new world, but rather pushes us back to life and seriously perceives the fun of life.
In this sense, what she really does is to be able to change our perception of pop music in her own way and expand our experience of pop music. For example, in the song "Girl Power", you will know that Su Yunying's sense of compression is extremely strong, and the vocals with prominent edges and corners are actually the most vivid. Su Yunying's childish lyrics such as "I have the madness / Absorb the essence of day and night / Fight the bad guys" are the most bloody. Also, such a lively retro party style is the most fashionable and charming. In the face of such music, I even want to force the use of the "good and bad" standard to measure it is very confusing. After all, Su Yunying's original intention is definitely not to find a home in the standard of duality, she has a more pure pursuit, I think it should be the purpose of returning to the root of music: to truly record life and freely express the heart.
On Weibo, she wrote: "In this world, I may be an explorer. Stop and go, record the scenery and stories along the way, find the light in the cracks, explore the strength on the edge of the cliff, rest for a while, compose what you see and hear into a melody, shallow chanting, telling yourself, telling us. ”
After all, music is a tool to measure the world; music is also a bridge, to connect you and me. Based on this, the album "Su Yunying" not only shows imagination, but also sincerely goes deep into life. "Cat Cat" and "Big Dog Little Dog Love Dog" use pets to explore relationships and express the delicate sensibility in her heart. "Happy And Happy" and "Chase", the straightforward emotional output, the attitude to life and the attitude towards the people in life, are vividly expressed to the extreme. "Spring Rain in the East" and "Truth, Goodness and Beauty", although the styles are different, but there is a yearning for beauty in it.
Then there is "Where Are You From" and "Like You", there is a sufficient sense of dialogue in the two songs, Su Yunying will listen to you and me close to the side, face to face, greet us, communicate with us. At this time, technical references such as style labels, arrangement techniques, etc. are no longer the most important thing, and humble and fun interactions will make everything in the music just right.
Her technique is outstanding, but her true disposition (i.e., the foundation of spirituality) is at the heart of her work. Therefore, the outstanding place of the album "Su Yunying" is that it completely preserves Su Yunying's true temperament. Her own control of the creation is still as easy as ever, and the arrangement and production are also in line with the trend, making accurate gains. I think the most affirmative point of this album is that it does not blindly explore the breakthrough of style, but focuses on the exploration of Su Yunying's own energy. In turn, her various identities are highlighted.
As a creator, she is good at surprise, but also good at using simple words to create vividness and temperature. As a singer, she believes in authenticity, which is why the original timbre of her vocals is emphasized in the songs. On the basis of these two, I experienced her identity as a performer, especially in a film-like song like "Prospect", I can feel her acting consciousness more. The sense of substitution and immersion during singing determines the appeal of expression. This makes these whimsical songs not seem ridiculous, or out of touch with reality. There is a susceptible affection inside. In "Night Makes People Think", she asks "Which day do you love in the four seasons", in "Goodbye" she says "We will see each other in the future / Cherish / Cherish", in "Happy and Happy" she "warns", "If you don't live well / This shell can explode at any time", in "Where Are You From", she asks "Do you want to go to the sea with me", "Like You" She asks again "Do you understand my heart"...
In the context of life to open a life-oriented dialogue, Su Yunying has never been an artistic supreme role, she has a performance, but the true color of the camera, she always values the weight of the self, even the image of the ghost horse elf, but also exudes a realistic temperament. As in her works, it will always belong to wild nature.
If you want to ask me where the album "Su Yunying" is the most attractive, I will say that it is the leisurely posture that jumps out of the torrent of information and shields the impetuous noise. There is no urgency in Su Yunying's works, only the truth, and her many creative inspirations excavated from the daily details depict the real face of life with extremely subtle brushstrokes, helping us to seriously taste the taste.
In terms of ability and consciousness, Su Yunying is quite suitable for experimental music, she is indeed actively embracing diverse styles, the key is that she is not addicted to seeking fresh stimulation, so that music has the enthusiasm and warmth that transcends the limitations of style.
The album "Su Yunying" will have more works that make us "surprise" in the future, and this will not change at all.
