Chapter 217 "Rewind"
It's not uncommon to choose to debut songs from a new album at your own concert.
Even with the exception of some of the title songs in the album, which will be promoted in the early stage of the album's release, most of the songs in the album will be heard live for the first time during subsequent tours.
This has also resulted in most of the current industry consensus.
That is, after releasing the album, a tour will definitely follow.
In particular, some relatively small independent singers will continue to release albums and tour in a cyclical process.
But theirs can only be regarded as a small personal show.
Holding large-scale concerts is still only reserved for top-tier domestic singers.
If the concert is not well-known enough and the scale of the concert is too large, it is almost likely to lose money.
……
But no matter what it is, although it is the first public performance offline, the studio versions of most of the songs have been released in advance.
It is indeed quite rare for someone like Su Zhi to sing a new song that has not yet been released directly at her own concert.
Of course, with the reputation and popularity of Su Zhi's album, the other party is indeed qualified to do this.
As the lights in the huge venue gradually dimmed, there was an intro of electric guitar, followed by the addition of a drum set.
The song information began to appear on the screen behind it.
""Rewind""
"Lyrics: Xu Kong"
"Composer: Xu Kong"
Fat Bird is no longer surprised at the appearance of Xu Kong's name.
Judging from the current situation, although in the previous promotion, it was only said that Xu Kong would be responsible for the production of the entire album.
But there is a high probability that the songs in it were all written by Xu Kong alone.
Otherwise, Su Zhi's album would not be named directly after the two people's surnames.
In Fat Bird's understanding, this album is not only Su Zhi's, it can also be regarded as Xu Kong's work.
After all, Xu Kong's role in it includes album producer, lyrics and music of all songs, arranger, etc.
The importance even exceeds that of Su Zhi, the singer herself.
……
Su Zhi on the stage had almost calmed down because she had said two sentences before.
As the prelude ended, Su Zhi on the stage slowly spoke.
"I'm tired of waiting"
"Your so-called arrangement"
"How long will it take for the future to come?"
As Su Zhi opened her mouth, the inside of the venue was almost filled with colorful lights and various light sticks were gently swinging in rhythm. The scene was quite spectacular.
Still a familiar love song.
But Fat Bird can hear that this is different from the slow-paced and refreshing style of the previous "Love Song" and "Meeting".
Although the song itself is not as consistent with Su Zhi as the previous two songs.
But with Su Zhi's singing skills and voice, this song is not too difficult either.
……
Many of the previous songs were so familiar that almost as soon as Su Zhi opened her mouth, the whole audience sang in a chorus.
This time I sang a new song, and it finally felt like the whole audience could calm down and listen to the song.
As Su Zhi's pitch gradually increased, the song finally reached the chorus that Fat Bird was most looking forward to.
"Finally look away, love can never come back"
"And you always understand too late"
"Lastly speak out"
"Crying and begging me to stay"
In the previous part, Fat Bird actually felt that the melody of this song was very eye-catching. But by the time of the chorus, he was even more certain of it.
The lyrics and arrangement actually maintain Xu Kong's high standards.
But in terms of melody, it can be felt that it is definitely better than the previous two songs in terms of popularity and memorability.
And judging from the three popular love songs Xu Kong has written for Su Zhi, they do have their own characteristics.
Even "Love Song", which is somewhat similar in style, and "Meet", which was released some time ago, do not appear to be overly homogeneous at all.
This popular love song completely feels like it was written out of flowers by Xu Kong.
……
"Finally look away, love can never come back"
"There are too many obstacles before us"
"But you can't let go of your hand"
"I'd rather be useless and beg me not to leave"
Su Zhi's second chorus came out, and I have to say that Fat Bird was already a little excited by it.
Compared with the two popular love songs Xu Kong wrote for each other before, this one is indeed more suitable for such a large-scale concert.
The melody and lyrics of the chorus are easier to remember in every aspect.
If nothing else happens, this song will probably become a chorus at Su Zhi's next concert.
"Love Song" mainly writes about secret love and the regret of missing out. As for "Meeting" some time ago, it also depicts the expectation, confusion and beauty of love through delicate brushwork.
This time, the theme of "Rewind" has become the reflection after breakup, the beauty and regret in love.
The overall sadness is more obvious and intense.
The most important thing is that the three popular love songs turned out to be three completely different themes.
Su Zhi had been known as the so-called Queen of Love Songs before. Fat Bird feels that after Xu Kong's album, Su Zhi will probably firmly hold on to this title.
After all, among the current female singers in the Chinese music scene, there are many who mainly sing pop love songs. However, even some first-line singers or divas who are already famous themselves will inevitably have songs whose style is too obvious and confusing. Listening too much can lead to aesthetic fatigue.
But the songs Xu Kong wrote for Su Zhi this time were completely different in terms of melody, arrangement and even the theme of the lyrics.
……
"Finally look away, love can never come back"
"There are too many obstacles before us"
"But you can't let go of your hand"
"I'd rather be useless, please don't leave"
The last line of lyrics ends, and Su Zhi's fourth song in this album and her first public stage has come to a successful conclusion.
In the subsequent part, almost all the lyrics of the chorus are repeated.
It directly deepened the memory of all the audience at the scene.
So even if this is the first time I listen to it, I can already hum along with it.
……
Fat Bird knows what this means. If nothing else happens, Su Zhi's new song in this concert will probably be another hit.
And judging from the catchy melody of the chorus and the memorable lyrics, the song is likely to be more popular than the previous songs.
Although this is only the fourth song in Su Zhi's album, Fat Bird has already thought of a possibility at this time.
Could it be that all the songs in Su Zhi's album can become individual hit singles?
In this case, it is also a bit too scary.
In the entire history of the Chinese music scene, this is also a very rare situation.
If this was the case, he seemed to be able to understand why Su Zhi chose to release the songs in her new album one by one.
Because this can bring the greatest and longest heat.
To release so many songs of this quality all at once would indeed feel like a waste for any singer.
