Rock and roll has Wan Qing, and pop singing has Shan Yichun. As for pop all-around musicians, Jay Chou is doomed to have no such level, and Ronghao Li and G.E.M. have dropped one level. Omnipotent youth society: a new chapter of Chinese rock;

Although Wan Qing's lead singer is 4 years old, Wan Qing Band, which was founded in 22, has only been 19 years, which is just a mature age.

In this unique band, we can see the hope of China music. Yes, China music. There is not much hope above pop music, and it is just the level that Jay Chou can reach. But rock and roll with strong emotional core as its artistic core is different.

Wan Qing gradually moved Chinese rock from expressionism to all-round spiritual level. Rock' n' roll is finally no longer so noisy all the time, but peeling silk and pulling cocoons, showing the sound of * * * gradually becoming noisy.

Wan Qing's first album "omnipotent youth society" won the rating of 9.1 in Douban. In the selection of rock paradise, Wan Qing's album and Cui Jian's "Rock on the New Long March" tied for the first place in Chinese rock album.

The following focuses on analyzing Kill the Shijiazhuang Man from the perspectives of musicality, storytelling and social conception. In this way, I can understand why Wan Qing can become hope.

1. Musicality:

The song "Kill that Shijiazhuang Man" can be regarded as a simplified version of led zeppelin's "Stairs to Heaven". This is a high evaluation.

structurally, the melody is only four sentences. But it was repeated four times in five minutes and 44 seconds. These four times, like "The Stairs to Heaven", pushed into the abyss step by step in simple repetition, and finally shouted in the abyss. Among them, the style is also consistent, and folk songs turn to rock.

Unlike led zeppelin's singing style, which changed from folk songs to hardcore rock, Wan Qing paid more attention to melody, and some of them were single.

In terms of specific singing style, Wan Qing chose pop singing. This popular singing method and paying attention to melody make melody a symbol of wanqing.

This song "Kill that Shijiazhuang Man" draws extensively on "Stairs to Heaven" in musical expression. However, led zeppelin has more distinct levels and richer content tension. In the final expression of emotion, the singing method has also been changed.

Wan Qing's expression is limited by her singing level, and she mostly uses electric guitars and rock instruments to express the abyss cry, but there is no breakthrough in singing. It belongs to simply improving the pitch. The final impact is far less shocking than that from led zeppelin.

Compared with such a great band as led zeppelin, Wan Qing is still a little immature. However, it is very difficult for China to have a band to talk with led zeppelin. Even with the above shortcomings, Wan Qing still has a good rock art aesthetic in this song "Kill that Shijiazhuang Man".

In the arrangement, we still started with folk songs and then turned to rock. First, the mandolin's popular folk songs, and then the folk guitar's broken chord, gradually drilled into the characteristic harmonica, which was quite Bob Dylan's feeling. At the end of the first paragraph, we turn to the sadness of cello. The second paragraph features trumpet and bass. In the third paragraph, the whole tune is raised, heavy metal drum set+cymbals, electric guitar. Continue to the fourth paragraph, the perfect electric guitar Solo.

The Solo of the electric guitar in "Kill the Shijiazhuang Man" is of high standard, and it is not an exaggeration to say that it is the top Chinese. Finally, in a small detail, the sound of electric guitar simulates the seagull's cry, and the whole song is finished.

as far as arrangement is concerned, it is simple and capable. Bass, tenor, and rhythm are not lost. It's the trumpet that took a little thought, but the cello part is actually very ordinary. Every musical instrument has its own responsibility and is very accurate. Don't drag your feet Don't gild the lily. This is very rare.

Personally, I think this overall arrangement music technique is quasi-first-class, but it still lags behind the top first-class arrangers like Zhong Xingmin and Lin Maike. But rock and roll can't be measured in a popular way. After all, the depth of rock and roll lies not in arrangement, but in musical conception and sociality. It can only be said that there is still room for improvement in Wan Qing's arrangement at the band level, but the current level can fully represent the first-line public welfare of Chinese rock. Compared with the second-hand rose and the five-person band, Wan Qing has more pursuit of details.

Storytelling: This song tells the story of a Shijiazhuang man who once worked in a pharmaceutical factory who suddenly lost his job in the northeast laid-off frenzy and robbed people's shopping malls for his life. Imprisonment and the strangeness of his son after he was released from prison. His lyrics are very interesting, adhering to the repetition of what he said earlier. The first of the four

three paragraphs is normal life:

the second paragraph is robbery and arrest;

the third paragraph is going out to see my son;

the fourth paragraph is chorus repetition:

What can we learn from the story performance of the lyrics alone? Questions, overwhelming questions.

live like this for 3 years? How do you live for thirty years?

until the building collapsed, why did it collapse?

why not look for a job when you are unemployed? Going to commit crimes?

There are thousands of hidden events and forces under every lyric. From here on, the charm of rock and roll began to show.

Social conception:

In the 198s, the northern heavy industry cities experienced the changes of the times. A large number of workers with iron rice bowls were laid off in large numbers, forming a laid-off frenzy in the north. This is the collapse of the building.

I've lived like this for 3 years-I've given my whole life to a pharmaceutical factory, and I've never had anything but pharmaceutical work skills.

why not look for a job? Because there is no job to find. There are thousands of laid-off workers everywhere.

on this basis, you can listen to this song again. Take a look at his depth and ask yourself what is music and what is rock and roll!

Rock and roll is never a kind of entertainment, but a kind of catharsis and * * * singing, such as the angry and distressed laid-off workers in this song.

Based on this idea, you can understand the name of this song "Kill the Shijiazhuang Man" and Wan Qing's music. This kind of music is China's rock and roll. Have hope.

a kind of goodwill towards the unjust, giving them * * * love, and venting and releasing.

Give humble individuals strength and * * * sound in the great era, which is Wan Qing!

this kind of power is not possessed by any music except rock music! It is the hope! Ronghao Li: The only pop musician in China who can play.

The only mainland singer who can keep up with Jay Chou's comprehensive musical ability is Ronghao Li, who was born in 1985.

In terms of the number of compositions, Ronghao Li is getting closer to Jay Chou. One * * * is 273 songs.

The number of works available in Ronghao Li is as follows:

There are 62 released music works. Except for five songs, the music production, singing, composition and arrangement of the whole album were all done by Ronghao Li himself.

And the number of Chinese orchestras composed by Ronghao Li is the first: there are 211 pieces. Not all of them are composers, but the number of composers, arrangers and harmonies.

Among the works composed by Ronghao Li for others, I like you slowly, which won the Golden Melody Award, as well as Ugly Joker Xue, Ku Kui Kei and Monster.

Here's another joke: Ronghao Li wrote Ugly for Joker Xue, Monster for Ku Kui Kei and kept a copy of Model for himself!

I like your composition melody gradually, which is very mature. It can be regarded as a small explosion in Ronghao Li.

On a personal level, Ronghao Li has lost Jay Chou's ability to arrange music, and even suppressed it vaguely. But there is still a long way to go from Zhong Xingmin and other masters.

Ronghao Li still has a certain gap with Jay Chou in composition ability, and he lacks a little talent. But fortunately, Ronghao Li has worked hard enough and has been making progress.

On the level of harmony and guitar, Ronghao Li kept Jay Chou under control.

generally speaking, Ronghao Li has entered a mature stage. And unlike Jay Chou's talent of reaching the peak when he appeared, Ronghao Li is more like a student who has accumulated a lot of money and is constantly learning and making progress. From his overall craft. Adhering to the comprehensiveness of Jay Chou, he achieved the comprehensive work of composing, arranging, arranging, mixing and harmony as a music producer under the overall situation. This is of great significance to the artistic expression of music.

personally, I think Ronghao Li's problem is that he is too stingy!

A talented composer like Jay Chou needs to rely on a complete team, but Ronghao Li is used to it alone. Here is the problem of restricting his music upper limit: two people will know it simply.

It's speechless: a person's experience and talent are limited. Jay Chou can only guarantee the composition of melody lines and the overall production, while Ronghao Li directly does it all by himself. Seemingly omnipotent, in fact, there is no specialization in the industry. Ronghao Li can never rival vincent fang in words, Jay Chou in music and Zhong Xingmin in arrangement. Can't compare with Yang Dairui in recording.

I hope that Ronghao Li can realize this earlier. Create more glory. G.E.M.: the only young singer with great influence on the international stage;

Unlike Ronghao Li, G.E.M. is much more flexible and closer to Jay Chou.

It was also a teenager who became famous. Now G.E.M. has embarked on the mature road of Jay Chou. Be a music producer and ensure the right to speak. Compose and write lyrics by yourself to increase professionalism and creativity. But in the more professional arrangement, G.E.M. chose to let go, just know a little, and put more energy into singing.

nah! Is this exactly the same as Jay Chou? But unlike Ronghao Li, whose vocal range is limited, G.E.M. kept Jay Chou steady in singing. G.E.M.'s singing theory is more perfect than Jay Chou's at that time, whether it is the cavity singing or the timbre range. Her real voice is more expressive than Jay Chou's.

G.E.M., who gave nine concerts in Hung Hom Hall at the age of 2, started her world tour concert in 213 until 219:

From April 213 to November 215, G.E.M.'s "X.X.X" world tour concert was held for 73 times.

From April 217 to April 219, G.E.M.'s "Queen of Hearts" World Tour Concert was held for 48 times.

Let's see where she gave the concert:

Sydney, Melbourne, Perth, Las Vegas, Singapore, Kuala Lumpur, Connecticut, Taipei, Genting, Vancouver, California, new york, London, Chicago and San Francisco.

Basically, large overseas Chinese gathering areas and Cantonese-speaking areas all have the footsteps of G.E.M.. These markets are difficult for other singers, whether Wan Qing or Ronghao Li. Only Jay Chou can.

aside from these concrete achievements, what is the music standard in G.E.M.? The answer is very strong.

On the basis of composing music, G.E.M.'s musical literacy is better than that of most inland singers. In her early work "Bubble", there is an obvious understanding of composition. The tension of the two octaves in the bass and treble areas is enough to show that she is talented in composition. But at this stage, it still stays at the level of some dazzling skills. The overall composition is good, but the melody line still needs to be strengthened, and at the same time, the bubble words are actually very empty.

But it lasted until Beyond Light Years, and everything changed. Her words were full of details and had the power of emotional promotion. The tune also pays more attention to the expression of emotion by melody, and no longer shows off its skills continuously like "Bubble". You know, Beyond Light Years is a propositional composition, which is used as the theme song of China District for Passengers. Under a proposition, G.E.M. can write such lyrics, which I personally think is better than the theme song written by Jay Chou for The Pirates. Her talent is evident.

There are enough songs to show her musical ability: Bubble, Beyond Light-years, Devil from Heaven, How Far Together, Countdown, Painting, Period and Superpower. Shan Yichun: a talented singer with singing skills;

This little girl has a super sense of music. She is different from other singers, and her feelings about music are from the inside out. Whether it is articulation, breath, body and singing, there is a high degree of unity. This unity declares one thing: musical emotion expresses off the charts.

From the feeling of her first time on stage, every word of her was accompanied by the corresponding body language. Including expressions and a right hand with nowhere to put it. There is no performance, but more of her personal experience of music.

there are two kinds of musical sense. One is: limb; Limb corresponds to dance; One is: emotional; Emotion corresponds to musical expression.

The latter can complete the transformation from singing skills to artistry, such as Faye Wong. In the concrete embodiment, it is mainly reflected in Shan Yichun's amazing grasp of the overall Flow of music.

This rhythm is not only the rhythm of melody in Shan Yichun, but also the high unity of breath, body, articulation and volume intensity. When Shan Yichun entered the state of singing, everything she did was working hard in one place: emotional expression of songs. This gift is terrible. Just like at the moment of opening her mouth, she can forget things that have nothing to do with music and put all her strength into music.

The simplest difference is reflected in the rhythm of breath; This is a bit difficult.

Shan Yichun's breath is almost the most stable singer I have ever met, except Eason Chan.

During the live broadcast of the 22 finals of Good Voices in China, it was raining heavily, and both instructors Li Jian and Diamond had a serious lack of breath when singing. The music released by the live broadcast was intermittent and did not have much appreciation, but when Shan Yichun spoke, it was full of breath, tolerance and rhythm. Every word she pronounces is accurate and highly consistent with the accompaniment. This is talent. Based on this alone, Shan Yichun has the foundation of Faye Wong.
