Be a goddess from Tokyo

Chapter 125 Have you heard of "Lose yourself"
Lyon's new album was a big hit, surpassing 300 million copies in just two days, breaking many sales records in the United States.

Of course, this is also due to the fact that Universal Records chose to sell in the form of electronic records. The price is cheaper than physical records, and it is very convenient to buy, so it can sell so well.

The track composition of this new album is still adhering to Lyon's consistent style, mainly rap, and the lyrics are more or less pointed at the current situation. It is rare to see him describe raps such as big gold chains and sports car beauties in the next door Common vocabulary.

At first, everyone thought that "Baby" was the only surprise in this album, but no one could have imagined that the real top of the B chart of this album was another song, and it was Lyon's most unpopular rap song among fans. song.

"Have you heard "Lose yourself"?"

This question has become a popular sentence pattern on major forums in the United States, and almost everyone who has heard this song is spontaneously making tap water for Lyon.

The Chinese music scene is gradually being dominated by cheap Internet celebrity songs. Bad money is driving out good money. Chinese fans have not heard good songs for a long time.

The same problem actually exists in the American music scene. In the American music scene, rock, metal, jazz, rhythm and blues, reggae, countless music styles can be called a hundred flowers blooming. Up to now, singers are like patriarchs who can be called the founders of the sect.

But I don’t know when it started. Hip hop (hip hop) has become the largest music form in the West from a niche music in the past. [-] to [-]% of the songs on the B list are pure rap or mixed with rap.

Aesthetic fatigue has actually existed for a long time, but because of some special politically correct reasons, many musicians dare not face this phenomenon.

If the quality of hip-hop music can improve, it would not be unacceptable to have more quantity, but I don’t know if the current hip-hop music has entered a detour. Beauty Party, as if all the people in the United States are millionaires, living a fairy life of luxury and money every day.

In fact, no matter where you are, most people who play hip-hop are poor ghosts. In the past, hip-hop has always been nicknamed the music of the poor. Although it has occupied most of the market now, it cannot conceal that many hip-hop songs are not nutritious. , Propagating the nature of incorrect values.

But there is no way, even though there are so many faults in hip-hop, it is still the most popular music form. The general public just likes it, and it is easier to become famous by doing hip-hop music.

These hip-hop singers are now the most popular in the American music scene. In the past, many big-name pop singers are now vying to cooperate with them. The combination of hip-hop and pop music always wins results and reputation on the B list.

In such a big environment, it is understandable for Lyon to choose hip-hop as the center of his career. It’s just that the lyrics of the rap songs he wrote have depth, but the level of Flow and beat is really poor, so they have not been very popular in the market. welcome.

But the other title song "Lose yourself" in the new album besides "Baby" has completely subverted everyone's inherent impression of Lyon.

Whether it is lyrics, Flow (rhythm) or beat (accompaniment), this song has reached the top level in recent years, and the difficulty of singing is quite high.

If an old cannon who has been rapping for more than ten years sang such a song, it would be reasonable, but what is surprising is that Leon who sang this song is only a 17-year-old kid.

If this is a few years later, will it still be okay?
Everyone seems to have seen a rising rap superstar.

Obviously most people ignore the composer and lyricist of this song, which is often easily overlooked in the United States. Everyone pays more attention to the performer of the song than the creator.

Many passers-by who didn't like Lyon's "little fresh meat" before were also fans of this song, including quite a few blacks.

Nine out of ten people who ridiculed Lyon for rapping were black, but now even the most critical black people probably can't pick any thorns for this song.

The only disadvantage is probably that there are too few swear words, and the lyrics are too positive, which doesn't match the overall style of hip-hop.

But in Leon's eyes, this is what a rap book should look like. He himself is very satisfied with this song, and has retweeted it on Twitter many times, Amway.

Of course, when reposting, the phrase "sister is the songwriter" is always on the lips, which can be regarded as gaining a wave of fans for Luoquan in disguise.

Seeing this situation, many double chefs of Lyon and Luoquan will always be very excited, and strongly request the two to cooperate under his twitter.

But it seems that there is no such opportunity at the moment. Lyon is about to start his first national tour, Luo Quan's vacation is coming to an end, and he is still busy releasing his new song, so they are relatively busy.

Originally, as usual, Luo Quan would release two more songs on the 27th, but the fans waited eagerly until dark, and there was still no movement from Luo Quan.

Just when everyone thought that Luo Quan only wrote these four songs, Luo Quan sent a message at night.

"The first title song of the new album will be released at noon tomorrow. This song is the longest song I have ever produced. In my opinion, its quality is the best among the Chinese songs I have written so far. Well, I may not be able to write songs like this in the future.

Its style may seem a bit dark, and the public may not be able to like it at the first time, but I believe that gold will always shine! "

Luo Quan's remarks quickly aroused heated discussions in various forums.

In the past, Luo Quan's songs were very straightforward, without too many descriptions, and basically let the fans themselves comment, and there was almost no case of Wang Po selling melons and boasting.

And this time Luo Quan praised the title song of the new album so much, which really surprised others.

"A genius like Luo Quan can directly call out a work that may not be written again in the future. I wonder how high its quality will be?"

"It will definitely not be a love song, most likely it will involve humanistic care."

"Could it be the rock genre? Throughout the ages, rock songs are the easiest to leave in history."

"It seems very possible. Luoquan has an English song called "We will rock you", which has won the weekly championship on the B chart for several weeks. Jushi magazine has made it the greatest rock song in recent years, and its status is quite I think Luo Quan has a very high attainment in rock music!"

"Is there such a thing? Why is there no movement in the country?"

"Weibo accounts are all blocked, there is no publicity channel at all, and Luo Quan himself is relatively low-key, so people who don't pay attention to the European and American circles basically don't know about it."

"The songs written by Luo Quan are popular abroad, but they are still being questioned in China. It is really magical to say."

As the fans said, Luo Quan is usually very low-key and never hypes up, so that no one cares about her achievements abroad at home.

But this time she finally made a little hype, which finally became the opportunity for the black fans to fight back.

The new songs she released before were highly rated one by one, so that the sunspots wanted to export, but they couldn't find the angle.

Before because of one sentence: "Pipa Xing" has been ridiculed by the whole network because of poor lyrics. If you say something wrong again, you will be sprayed even worse. Getting sprayed is not.

And this time Luo Quan took the initiative to give them a chance, how could they let it go?
So on Weibo, the performance of black fans began.

"Making it louder, you've only written a few songs and you dare to talk like that?"

"Luo Quan is indeed talented, but compared with the older generation of musicians, there is still a gap in grade, and his personality is too arrogant and egotistical, and he doesn't have the moderation and modesty of Chinese people at all."

"It's her who is talented but not virtuous. I have never seen a female star who pretends like this in this life."

"Write a few good songs, and then your tail goes up to the sky. Can an album kill you?"

"She won't take the title of the new generation creative leader seriously, won't she, won't she?"

Luo Quan seems to have the physique of attracting black people. From her debut to the present, the rhythm about her has almost never stopped. On the one hand, she is too good, and there are more people who like lemons.

On the other hand, she used to have a straightforward personality and straightforward speech, which provoked fans of some celebrities, so much so that they still bite her.

In short, on Weibo, her public opinion environment is basically invincible, and she will be scolded for everything she does. Fortunately, Weibo has blocked her account. Otherwise, she would not be able to see so many people scolding her every day. pissed off.

In short, the atmosphere at Station B and Zhihu is peaceful, and everyone is waiting for Luo Quan's "Divine Comedy", which claims to never be written again, although most of them feel that such a statement is actually a bit exaggerated.

Since the development of the Chinese pop music scene, people have often tried all types of songs. Pop, rock, R&B, country, ancient style, and Chinese style all have peak works. These songs have stood the test of time, even decades later. A classic that is still admired today.

However, Luo Quan wanted to gain a place in front of these seniors, but in the eyes of most people, it was still too tender.

I have to admit that Luo Quan feels that she has such a talent, but she is too young at this age, without rich social experience and accumulation, the possibility of writing in-depth and musical works is almost zero.

This is definitely not something that can be compensated by a simple talent. It takes time. Many musicians feel that Luo Quan is unlikely to be able to write works that are worthy of being called classics before graduating from university.

But is this really the case?At least Luo Quan didn't think so, after all, she was a cheating player.
