Have you seen "Our Song"?
To be honest, after watching the first few issues, there was no wave in my heart.
There wasn't a stage that piqued my urge to write.
In terms of lineup, each one can independently hold up the stage.
But once the cooperative performance, some can not even achieve the effect of 1 + 1 = 2.
For example, Xue Zhiqian & Hammer Na Lisa "Disobedient Youth", Yang Qianwei & Zhou Xingzhe "Kiss Everywhere"...
In the midst of repeated disappointments, nature does not expect anything from the show.
Even so, as a music media person, you still have to continue to pay attention to the dynamics of music synthesis.
Who would have thought that the latest episode of the show would blow up my heart.
After watching "Sherlock Holmes" sung by Zhou Bichang and Shan Yichun, I was quite excited.
The first time to share Weibo and circle of friends.
It's no exaggeration to say that this is the best stage I've seen in recent times.
This stage brought me two big surprises.
First, I accidentally discovered a treasure song.
The song "Sherlock Holmes" was buried for 10 years.
It was included on Zhou Bichang's 2011 album Black Choice Ming.
Ge Dawei composed the lyrics, guo Ding composed the music.
Whether it is lyrics or melody, it can be called high-quality Pop.
Unfortunately, at that time, Zhou Bichang was in a downturn in his career.
Her agency at the time was facing great changes, and the team members were basically gone.
Only one colleague accompanied her to complete the album recording.
For her, even after completing the album, she doesn't know what the future holds.
Judging from the results after the release, it was completely submerged in the torrent of the market.
After hearing the original recording, I found that Zhou Bichang was really an underrated singer before.
If I had heard this "Sherlock Holmes" at the time of release, I would have had a big change in her music at that time.
I was completely indifferent to her previous works and stages.
Although she has singing skills, she lacks vocal dynamics and strong emotional expression.
Including the Singer, which she previously participated in, there is nothing impressive and repetitive.
It wasn't until I participated in "Sister Riding the Wind and Waves" last year that I really discovered the true charm of her voice.
Many people have also begun to have a new understanding of Zhou Bichang's music.
This time "Our Song", her cooperation stage with Shan Yichun once again refreshed my impression, which is another surprise.
Guo Ding is too good at writing melodies, the balance of business and artistry is in place, and the elegance and customs are appreciated.
The melody of the main song sounded, and I did not hesitate to click into the collection.
This is a work that completely highlights vocal music, and the arrangement is simplified to maximize the singer's vocal conditions.
The prelude is introduced by the piano.
This instrument can be said to be the darling of lyrical pop works.
88 keys can show a rich sound dynamic, especially for the sketch of sad melodies, it can always give people the deepest emotional experience when touching the keys.
Shan Yichun's voice is still as moving as ever.
After coming out of "The Voice", her interpretation of lyrical works can be described as deeply rooted in people's hearts.
For a while after her debut, she was trying to get rid of this "bitter love song" label.
From Rap Listen to Me to Burst Stage, she's been showcasing the R&B style.
It may be that R&B has trained too much, and today's lyrical works are becoming more mature.
Especially the control of the bass, she did a very good job.
It seems that the sighing singing that Li Jian taught her has been fully mastered.
"You can't divide your hands, you can't go, and time laughs and teases."
The singing of this lyric, she really did it like a silk thread.
Her voice has a dynamic effect, which is also a singing quality that many singers lack.
This sense of flow of sound can bring more imagination space to the audience.
As soon as I opened my mouth, I was instantly involved in the emotions she had created.
This is not brought about by expressions, stages, and story introductions, it can all be done by her voice.
In contrast, Zhou Bichang, she and Shan Yichun form a strong contrast in singing.
Her interpretation is more direct, and the feeling of large and whole is more.
To put it bluntly, instead of focusing on the details, she sang more generally.
Her emotions are relatively convergent, not blatantly attached to the shell of the voice, but hidden inside the shell.
Therefore, the emotion of her singing is progressive, and it will not be revealed at the beginning.
This is also a way of interpretation that as a singer of the previous generation, I have explored.
Although the two singing has its own advantages, they do not fight when they are integrated.
Looking at the fourth issue of "Our Song", they should be the most suitable sound of all the groups.
The first half of the song belongs to their respective display links.
When it comes to the chorus section of the bridge section, the two sounds begin to blend with each other.
The two answered each other's emotional confusion in a question and answer.
Zhou Bichang's vocal field is much stronger than Shan Yichun's, and the chorus part dominates.
The two voices are fused together, and the pure voice part alone is not particularly clear, but once detached, it can instantly distinguish her tone.
I especially like the final hum.
Without the aid of lyrics, they push their emotions to the top entirely with sound and melody itself.
A real voice, a false sound.
Thick and thin, hard and soft, out and introverted.
If you listen carefully to the closing sentence, you will find that Shan Yichun's ending is very good.
After she continued to extend with a false voice, the final sound seamlessly connected to the air sound, and the sound was truly cut off continuously.
Even after the singing, her emotions remained in a line.
After listening to them sing, I was also immersed for a long time.
The ghost knows this version of Sherlock Holmes, how many times I have listened to it.
In fact, in addition to their singing, Da Zhang Wei and Wang Sutaki's "Dream Awakening Time" also surprised me.
Da Zhang Wei is definitely a wizard.
The music stage that can make me "laugh to the head" is what he can do.
"When You Wake Up" was originally a slightly sad love song, but it turned into a comedy by Da Zhang Wei.
He used the traditional music art Jingyun drum as the background color, adding electronic elements, completely subverting my cognition.
The place in the middle that provokes the audience's emotions is very interesting.
As the rhythm continued to intensify, the audience's mood was pushed to its climax, and as a result the music suddenly stopped.
This sense of gap is dramatic.
If you have some decline in mood after listening to "Sherlock Holmes", you can use this version of "Waking Up" to alleviate it and protect your spirit after listening.
After watching their performances, I rekindled my feelings for the show.
As a music variety show with new and old collocations, it is indeed very valuable from the perspective of form.
Since we have invited singers such as Lin Zixiang, Qi Qin, Lü Fang, and Dai Penny, we must come up with a good performance.
What music variety shows lack now is not a super lineup at all, but a high-quality music stage.
Song selection is a pain point for many music variety shows.
Cover classics can easily collapse, and niche song audiences don't expect it.
How to select works with both transmission and high quality should be a difficult problem that major variety shows and singers need to think about.
