Wang Shi'an", "One Step into Poetry" Composer: Fang Datong Lyricist: Zhou Yaohui Release date: 2017.09
At that time, I did not understand why Wang Shi'an wanted to leave Warner Records, and now to listen to "One Step into Poetry", perhaps those incomprehensions have disappeared. Originally it was not a diving dragon, what was needed was a wider sky, if he did not go at that time, Wang Shi'an might not be so comfortable in music now.
Hearing this "Step into a Poem", I still feel a lot of surprises, even surprises. This is not the first time to hear Wang Shi'an sing Fang Datong, many years ago Wang Shi'an sang "hey boy" written by Fang Datong, but at that time in this song Wang Shi'an did not have much room to play, the creation of its own song is very popular, common, in the future "hey boy" has not become Wang Shi'an's representative work, it is indeed not as good as today's "one step into poetry" to be more distinctive.
Fang Datong's "One Step into a Poem" created for Wang Shi'an is really dedicated, the song style is special, and the arrangement is careful. There is a minor charm, integrated into the natural color of r&b; there is the texture of Western strings, and the timbre of the Oriental guzheng, which is the collision of typical east and west musical elements, and this collision is not tacky, but also pays more attention to the extreme of details, of which the vocals are directly into the song, basically there is no prelude, this feature can be considered as the exclusive of Fang Datong, so the whole song sounds chic and novel, and the most important thing is suitable for Wang Shi'an's play. In terms of singing, Wang Shi'an's expression in this song is very special, with the characteristics of whispering, but also a bit of dramatic singing, and the urgent melody with r&b's unique transposition gives the whole song a deep charm, but also enhances the difficulty of singing. In fact, listening to Wang Shi'an's singing feels the ease of her singing voice, and there are frequent and natural conversions of true and false tones, and each transliteration is like a stroke of God, which is quite beautiful.
The lyrics written by Zhou Yaohui are also the highlights of the song, combining wang Shi'an's name, and also integrating the allusions of Cao Zhi's seven-step poem, but the whole word does not deliberately show the flavor of ancient rhyme, but the use of sentences is clever, combining many classic famous sentences, like "the golden wind has jade dew / victory but countless in the world", but also has a natural narrative and expression, and this integration of ancient and modern runs through, both poetic and associative, the context is not why, but also with the due sense of mood.
