"This is the Original" is about to enter the finals! In last night's breakout match, Yan Zehuan, one of the top six players in the country, performed well, thus successfully qualifying, and then having the qualification of the champion candidate.
After Yan Zehuan won, the discussion about him on the Internet also flourished, and the songs he had performed on this stage also became popular on major music websites. And, since the name of the show is "This is the Original", these songs are obviously also the original works of singer Yan Zehuan.
This week's "Fault" is a representative work that Yan Zehuan has sung in the previous program. However, this time, she joined hands with Feng Timo and still performed a different feeling.
Feng Timo was a "net red" from live broadcast in the early days, became popular by covering the classic songs of many singers, and later signed a record company and officially debuted, and now his music performance is also good. Moreover, since becoming a record singer, Feng Timo has shown his good musical literacy in many programs. The same is true of this "Fault", the high and low connections between the two voices, thick and sweet complement each other, and create a new pop song very well.
In the first two episodes of the program, Yan Zehuan wrapped up the songwriting of "Return Me" and "Corner", which also aroused heated discussion among netizens. Some people say that his voice is very low, the song is full of compassionate emotions, it seems to have some negative energy, but Yan Zehuan understands this "negative" as "an outlet of emotions", and after singing this negative emotion, he can say goodbye to them and move forward better.
I don't know if you can experience the good intentions of the singers in these works?
Since it is original, let's talk about the works that Yan Zehuan created for others before "This is Original". My deepest personal impression is Yan Zehuan's "Like You" composed for singer Jiang Xue'er.
The prelude is classical and pleasant, making people calm down instantly. The singer's slightly smoky way of pronouncing it is addictive from the first sentence. Just the first 1 minute, it's already lovely.
It is not so much the singer's skill as the "first second" of the melody. However, of course, this is not over, about 1 minute, before entering the chorus, Jiang Xue'er murmured: The lover is not seen / It is too late to miss / Next to the fire / There is still a cigarette ... The words "edge" and "smoke" here are really cleverly interpreted, it seems that just one word has sung into the hundreds of intestines of life, Jiang Xue'er did not brew emotions before entering the chorus, but through these two longer tail notes, the previous part has been interpreted into the climax of the song.
Because of the exquisite design of these places, even if you have not heard the climax of the chorus, many friends have already loved "Like You". Today here is also highly recommended to everyone this song!
I also want to say that by the way, I feel that Yan Zehuan is also very good at digging up "new things" on other singers when composing for other singers. I have always liked to listen to Jiang Xueer's songs, but this "Like You", when I first listened to it, I felt very different from the Jiang Xueer in my previous impression.
Jiang Xue'er released the single "Dream Wings Injured" about 10 years ago, which was originally just a play, but she became a hit, so she began to cultivate Chinese music and took her hobbies as a career. Later, her songs were mostly based on deep, soothing love songs, and the song "Like You" was full of psychedelic and lazy, making people obviously feel her difference, or advancement.
After listening to "Like You" for a long time, I suddenly realized that in fact, this is also Jiang Xue'er, but through Yan Zehuan's hand, her songs have become more advanced and more flavorful. If this sense of luxury and laziness are to be compared with a well-known song, I may be impressed that I can instantly reproduce the feelings and feelings when I first listened to Karen Mok's "Cloudy Days". Yes, it's probably the taste of "cigarettes / apostrophobia / and his picture at hand / Silly two people / How sweet the laugh is" taste.
Yan Zehuan's "Like You" created for Jiang Xueer, published in January 2019, can be said to be Jiang Xueer, but also the creator Yan Zehuan's New Year's "first experience", presumably this song has an important significance for both of you, the new chapter of the New Year.

Nowadays, because of the show "This is the Original", Yan Zehuan has begun to be recognized and liked by more people, and his fans, who have followed him for a long time, have finally waited for the "spring" of singer-songwriter Yan Zehuan.
In the next few days, let us continue to look forward to Yan Zehuan's new creations, whether for ourselves or for other singers, and when we see the name "Yan Zehuan" in the future, we seem to know that it is the quality assurance of good songs.
