It is a great pleasure to hear singer-songwriter Xu Binglong's new single "Baby" at the beginning of 2019, but it is not surprising that he released a new work at this time, because according to the frequency of Xu Binglong's new works in 2018, it is time to start a single in 2019.
2018 is Xu Binglong's harvest year, this year he published five works (four singles, one ep), from the beginning of the year's "Nian Nian" to "Embrace", and then to the middle of the year's "Twins", "Zero Zero" and "Artist", the average circulation of a new work in two to three months, has been very productive, which proves that Xu Binglong's creativity is very rich, the focus is that the works he handed over are of extremely high quality, basically a fire, and then also brought Xu Binglong a high popularity and topicality.
Of course, 2018 is also a very special thing for Xu Binglong, that is, he held a tour of "Coming to Japan" in 2018. The tour set sail from Guangzhou and traveled through Shanghai, Shenzhen, Xiamen, Shanghai, Changsha, Wuhan, Nanjing, Chengdu, Chongqing, Zhengzhou, Xi'an, and ended in Beijing, with a total of 12 performances. And these 12 tours are full, each performance is in the form of a live house, singing for two hours, the content presentation of both newly published works in 2018, as well as previous old works, of course, "Lime", "White Sheep" is the most classic, but also especially worth mentioning that Xu Binglong's 12 tours took only one month to complete, very powerful.
Bidding farewell to the harvest year of 2018, at the beginning of 2019, Xu Binglong did not slow down the pace of progress and started a new journey with a song "Baby". This is still a work full of sincerity, Xu Binglong's creation is still very spirited and talented, especially like the lyrics of "Baby", written very much with the characteristics of new poetry, sentence making is not pretentious, not gorgeous, but very moving, simple but kind words to release the tenderness of the model, bringing warm temperature, plus Xu Binglong's interpretation of the tone is very comfortable and sincere, as if it is humming faintly in your ear, so kind and natural.
The song "Baby" also has a big surprise, the surprise comes from the cooperation between Xu Binglong and the well-known Japanese finger player Seiji Inouba, who is responsible for the arrangement and guitar playing in this song. Cooperation with Jingcao Shengji is a very fresh model for Xu Binglong, which can not only spark in cooperation, but also an opportunity to learn and absorb experience. Xu Binglong's "Baby" itself is very spirited, and now it can be polished by Jingcao Sheng'er, especially in the blessing of playing, which can make every note and melody of the whole song more vivid.
However, because of this cooperation between Xu Binglong and Izuma seiji, unnecessary misunderstandings and controversies have been triggered. In fact, the composition, lyrics, arrangement and even guitar playing of the song "Baby" are clearly listed in the list behind the scenes, Xu Binglong is the composer and lyricist of the song, and the arrangement part and guitar performance are completed by Seiji Inouba, the division of labor is clear, and there is no needless plagiarism problem. I think the misunderstanding of many listeners is that they do not understand that composition and arrangement are two different things, the so-called arrangement is carried out on the basis of composition, that is to say, the main melody is created first, and the arrangement can be carried out on the basis of the main melody.
What needs to be emphasized more is that Xu Binglong and Jingcao Sheng'er this time is a formal and official cooperation. As early as October 2018, When Xu Binglong launched the "Coming Day Can Be Expected" tour, he had already begun to communicate with the two parties of Ino grass and finally confirmed the cooperation, and in the following months, the two sides have been cooperating to produce the song "Baby", which naturally there is no plagiarism, let alone disrespect for Izuma. Taking a step back, if Xu Binglong is really suspected of plagiarism, how can he still write out the name of Jingcao Sheng'er in the official announcement? In addition, Inoyasha Seiji has also proved through official channels that he only participated in the arrangement of this song, which also returns Xu Binglong's innocence, since the parties have already expressed their position and explained, what is there to argue about? Why are the keyboard men who say they want to respect the musicians reluctant to respect the statement of Shoji Inoue?
No matter what happened in the past, what others think, always believe that Xu Binglong is talented in creation, and the "Boat" he created for Lin Youjia is still adrift in the wave of Chinese pop music, and has never been overwhelmed by the big wave, which is strength. And later he wrote a series of works "Aries", "No Two Chen", "Lime", "Millennium" has never disappointed, but also became a popular forbidden song, on the road of creation, Xu Binglong has always upheld his own attitude and personality, in his creation can feel his yearning and expectation for life, his emotional and delicate emotions, and because all the creative inspiration comes from life, so the works he wrote have always been very touching, just like in "Baby", he can write" You've spied on my most uneasy hand/in the coldest hours of youth," a phrase worth savoring.
Gossip will always stop, time will prove everything, there are lost on the road to growth, there are winds and waves are inevitable, but every experience is a growth, xu Binglong what is there to fear? Looking forward to Xu Binglong continuing to bring more excellent creations in 2019 and starting a new round of touring, this is his best name and proof of himself.
