Wang Shi'an, who met Bole Fang Datong in music, in addition to signing the music brand Fu Music he founded, recently handed over his second solo album "Poetry". However, unlike many of the days of diva who gathered at the end of the year to sing pop love songs, Wang Shi'an can be said to be under the deployment of producer and boss Fang Datong this time, so that many listeners are amazed by the "Combination of East and West" from her big play!
Because, this time in the "Poems" to the music fans to hear Wang Shi'an, is unprecedented confidence and completeness. She tried to have music, putting everything she had heard, learned, and felt during her upbringing into this record, giving fans a sense of her unique growth experience over the years. Although she was born in a family of opera, she was born abroad and in the collision of different cultures, so that she has cultivated her own unique vision and aesthetics in music and art. Through this new album, she also tries to use her thinking and inspiration and creation on music, life, and poetry and song to tear apart the established impression that she has left in the minds of many people in the past! In addition to handing over a number of creations, he boldly integrated the Elements of Chinese Opera, Poetry and Song Fu that he received in his growth into it, so that the audience could feel and receive a new and more complete "Wang Shi'an".
It is a remarkable record, the most unexpected of which is that Wang Shi'an handed over a number of works that he participated in, such as "Tomorrow", "Leica Wei", "Unchanged for Decades", "Wangjiang Pavilion", "Your Girl"... The reason is that she is born with a good face and a good voice, which has attracted the attention of many people since her debut, but it has made people ignore her original talent. Therefore, this time when the creative energy was unleashed, Wang Shi'an joined hands with Fang Datong, who is the producer of the album, in "Poetry", to make the most impactful preparations for the impact of next year's major music awards ceremonies, creating a very conceptual and stylized record.
The opening work "One Step into Poetry", jointly created by Fang Datong and his old partner Zhou Yaohui, is the most focused song in the album, in addition to the melody itself is a very Fang Datong charm R&b song style, the lyrics part of Zhou Yaohui also played a big game of the album's name "poetry". "The crowd looks for him for thousands of degrees, there is no story, as long as you become a poem in one step where the lights are dimmed..." It may be regarded as the precursor work of this album, from the style to the lyrics, it ultimately shows the meaning of "Chinese and Western fusion", especially the lyrics quoted and dismantled from the classic poetry left by cao zhi, Xin Zhiyi, Qin Guan and other literati, which is enough to make people feel the elegance contained in the Chinese literary allusions. In terms of interpretation, Wang Shi'an also shows his highly recognizable r&b singing method with false tones and transliterations, and wonderfully leads the audience through ancient and modern times in the time of a song. Also filled in by Zhou Yaohui in the lyrics "Your Girl", in the prelude with a bit of opera flavor, Wang Shi'an expressed her strong homesickness through "you" with a whispered voice. Perhaps, it will be a continuation of the theme of her last ep "home", but this time Wang Shi'an also has a melody creation, so it can make the audience feel that she grew up abroad, and her heart is more real homesickness. However, unlike many works that tell nostalgia, Wang Shi'an and Zhou Yaohui, who also lives in the Netherlands, are more creative in the form of lyricism through scenery, so the scenery of the four seasons recorded in those songs will also be deeply intoxicating.
In terms of interpretation, this time Wang Shi'an in "Poetry" let people see her true skills, from true and false tone conversion, whispering singing, to singing with opera, she tried to show her current extremely skillful and diversified vocal skills in singing. Therefore, in each work, you will receive and feel the agility and changeability of Wang Shi'an's singing voice. Also because of the relationship between growing up in a drama family and receiving Western music education since childhood, Wang Shi'an is more like presenting more different musical possibilities through her own r&b singing method in the new album. One of the most iconic songs, Wang Shi'an, who did not compose the music alone, invited his mother and Fang Datong to jointly create "Tomorrow"! This work, which integrates a large number of Elements of Chinese opera and Western symphony, in addition to presenting a full of textured dramatic tension, the Peking Opera singing section presented by Wang Shi'an's mother Wang Lei, who was a Peking Opera actor, adds a strong sense of artistic awareness to the work, and Fang Datong adds an electric guitar solo inserted in it, which doubles the auditory impact of the song on this basis, which makes people more than unforgettable. "Wangjiang Pavilion", which is also labeled "Peking Opera", removes the form of multiple mix-and-match, and simply presents the aesthetic color of the work from the lyrics in the form of r&b. However, in order to make this work used to describe the modern woman's dare to love more charming and sensual, Wang Shi'an, who has been influenced by Chinese opera culture since childhood because of her family relationship, boldly integrates the singing method of opera into her own skillful r&b singing voice, which will sound deeply intoxicating and refreshing.
It can be said that this Wang Shi'an's "Poems" is a very complete album, in addition to the control of producer Fang Datong, so that each of the works in it presents a very eye-catching texture; Wang Shi'an's full line of diversified singing has also become a highlight of her re-starting after joining the new music label. Wang Shi'an, who participates in the creation of most of the works in the album, does not forget to show her personality and taste through her own creation. For example, "Leica Wei", the dedication to one style contained in the name of the song, and the relaxed atmosphere flowing from the melody, Wang Shi'an's voice interpretation in it is more aesthetic and angular. And "Random Day", which was created and performed together with Wang Ruolin, can be said to have allowed many listeners to find that the two of them, who are also good at singing and composing, have their own naughty and lively personalities.
