Album introduction:
The Chinese music scene has emerged Jay Chou, and then the whole of China is into R&B. Jay Chou seems to have made R&B an insurmountable label. Now a girl wants to re-interpret his works, and in a HI-FI way, which sounds incredible, but SAMMY Shi Aimin "Fever Jay" indeed did it. SAMMY's beautiful voice in last year's "Breathe Me" and "Care About Me", last year's good HI-FI sales results, all these things made Yiren cautious and confident at the same time when making this album.
The songs in "Jay Fever" are all by Jay Chou, so in my mind they are individual and alternative. In "Jay Fever" they are performed by Shi Aimin, and the music actually becomes calm, delicate and Beautiful. Use the same musical elements to present completely different auditory effects. Whoever sings is his story. Now let us bypass the original singer who likes to cover his autism with a hoodie and speaks amazing words, and listen to the narration of a girl in "Fever Jay". It is not what we are used to. It belongs to Jay Chou’s characteristics: the dejection caused by the rhythm, the hesitation to speak, the sluggishness after being stimulated and choked, are replaced by a delicate and velvet-like texture, a clean and impurity-free indifferent, implicit and calm Express.
The production of the album is very clear that Jay cannot be copied, but there are no restrictions on music and the style can be free and unhindered. Therefore, the album does not continue the R&B style like the general cover of Jay's songs. Using HI-FI music to interpret Jay Chou can be said to be a novel attempt that completely breaks away from the original singer.
If the unusually vivid drums in "Shanghai 1943" originally allowed us to see the nostalgia of the new generation, then here, there are unique arrangements of special instruments, such as erhu, flute, and drum. After dubbing, the music broke the boundaries of time and space, and the feeling of being in Shanghai in 1943 suddenly became realistic. In "East Wind Breaks", the exotic east wind howls through the sky. In the atmosphere of the fusion of Middle Eastern, European and Chinese styles, you will hear the voice of a girl who expresses her feelings in a real and euphemistic way. The arrangements of "Qili Xiang" and "Quiet" are as fragrant as the song titles, and they seem to be tailor-made for SAMMY's voice.
If being catchy and touching is the highest standard of music, then there is no need to stick to the original song or the so-called style. Watch SAMMY’s 2006 new HI-FI attempt with peace of mind and play with SAMMY with peace of mind. Check out this carefully selected and comprehensive selection of vocal games.
