Music style; subject to the depth of music theory
In terms of specific music style, Nicholas Tse has learned a lot from the successful experience of his predecessors; Nicholas Tse's early creations stayed in a relatively old style Within the framework, Lu has a tendency to style, and Lu is good at Pop Rock style, with traces of Wong Ka Kui and Ozaki Yutaka in his style. For example, "Exposure", "Alive Viva" and "The Voice of the End of the Century" all have relatively obvious traces. After the concept album "Jade Butterfly", there were great breakthroughs, such as "Hidden Dragon Don't Use", a dark rock style, which can also be partly inherited in "Start and End Station" written for Eason Chan many years later. trace.
According to the arrangement law of music aesthetics: simple ones are easy to get tired of, while complex ones have a small audience. Nicholas Tse is somewhere between the two. Take "Jade Butterfly" as an example. This album has a rich variety of genres, whether it's rock, dark, slow love songs, or fast songs. But there are actually only two of his personal compositions, one is "Jade Butterfly" and the other is "Don't Use the Hidden Dragon".
The success of this album lies in the top configuration of the HK music scene. Not only did the Beijing Philharmonic Orchestra be invited to record together, it also laid out a large number of string sounds. The charm of string music is still very high. Because strings can't help but hit the ear, the specific reason is that strings are extremely tense timbre cues. The arrangement and mixing of this album are still avant-garde and listenable even now. In addition to Wang Shuangjun, who has always collaborated, we also invited musicians such as SUGIZO and Jin Peida to sing songs, as well as three of Hong Kong's top lyricists, Lin Xi, Huang Weiwen and Zhou Yifai, to help out. The lyrics of the entire album are very sophisticated.
Tse Ting-fung’s musical attainments
In fact, the essence of Nicholas Tse’s music lies in Cantonese songs. As a fan of more than 20 years, I really like his Cantonese songs and rarely listen to Mandarin songs. It’s not that it doesn’t sound good, now his Mandarin songs are also top-notch, but the Cantonese version of Nicholas Tse is the essence of Nicholas Tse. In the early days, Nicholas Tse was weak when winning awards. What kind of competitors would they be? I believe anyone who knew the music scene around 2000 would know that there would be no weak ones. It’s not like now, where many Hong Kong singers grew up listening to Nicholas Tse’s songs. of.
I don’t want to talk about Nicholas Tse’s musical attainments, because he is a controversial figure. His scandals have long overshadowed his talent. If you can calm down and listen to his Cantonese songs, then in fact, this question already has the answer. . There is no need to doubt Nicholas Tse's musical attainments, and his status as a music mentor is unshakable.
